Against the background of the current situation, the World Health Organization (WHO) has called on all high-risk patients and elderly people without vaccination protection to refrain from traveling at present. People over the age of 60 and those with pre-existing conditions such as diabetes and cancer who are neither fully vaccinated nor recovered should refrain from traveling at the moment, the WHO said yesterday in Geneva.
General travel bans, as imposed by numerous countries, were considered critical by the WHO. These bans could “not prevent” the spread of the currently rampant Omicron variant of the coronavirus. Moreover, they could have a negative impact on the future willingness of countries to share crucial health data on emerging variants. WHO instead advocated for increased testing.
