Covid-19 is still killing around 1,700 people a week around the world, the World Health Organization said Thursday, July 11, as it urged at-risk populations to keep up with their vaccinations against the disease. WHO director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus sounded a warning on declining vaccine coverage. Despite the continued death toll, "data show that vaccine coverage has declined among health workers and people over 60, which are two of the most at-risk groups," the UN health agency's chief told a press conference.--agencies Source: National news agency - Lebanon
