This is the best summary I could come up with:
The World Health Organization, on Wednesday, said that nearly 10,000 COVID-19 related deaths were reported in December.
Hospital admissions during the month jumped 42% in nearly 50 countries, largely in Europe and the Americas, the UN-backed health agency said.
“We continue to call on individuals to be vaccinated, to test, to wear masks where needed and to ensure crowded indoor spaces are well ventilated,” he said.
Maria Van Kerkhove, technical lead at the global health agency for COVID-19, cited an uptick in respiratory diseases across the world due to the coronavirus but also flu, rhinovirus and pneumonia.
Dr. Michael Ryan, head of emergencies at WHO, recommend that people get vaccinated when possible and wear masks.
The WHO declared an end to COVID-19 as a pandemic in May 2023, over three years after the virus was first detected in Wuhan, China.
