Abdur-Rahman Mahmoud, head of the Health Emergency Alert and Response Department at the World Health Organization, stated at a press conference held yesterday in Geneva that long-term symptoms after COVID-19 remain a serious problem.

He noted that symptoms of the infection range from mild fatigue to memory problems and "brain fog".

Against the backdrop of the continued spread of the virus, the World Health Organization presented an updated strategic plan to address the threats of coronavirus diseases.

However, the organization maintains a high level of preparedness and conducts daily monitoring of the epidemic risks. The organization continues to monitor the situation.

Continued daily monitoring of the epidemiological situation and new variants of the virus.

Introducing an updated strategic plan , signaling a shift from emergency response to long-term management of a threat that has become endemic, but has not disappeared.

The statement confirms that the COVID-19 pandemic has left behind a long "tail" of chronic diseases that require attention from healthcare systems, more research, and patient support.

According to official data compiled by the World Health Organization (WHO) , Johns Hopkins University and other entities, the reported number of deaths related to COVID-19 worldwide exceeds 7 million people .

But it is important to understand the following points:

The actual number could be much higher, and the World Health Organization itself estimates that the total number of excess deaths related to the pandemic (including direct and indirect deaths due to the collapse of health systems) could be two to three times higher than the officially reported number, which could raise the number to around 20 million people or more .

Statistical challenges: The method of counting deaths varies between countries (are those who died "from" COVID or "with" COVID counted?). Furthermore, the lack of testing at the beginning of the pandemic and in some impoverished areas meant that many deaths were not officially recorded as being due to the virus.
