The head of the WHO office in Russia, Batyr Berdyklychev, issued a warning about the new pandemic.
A representative of the organization spoke on this topic at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF).
Berdyklychev stated that the appearance of the so-called “disease X” in the world is a matter of time, TASS reports.
The head of the Russian WHO office noted that talk about a new pandemic is not a figment of the media or conspiracy theorists.
Leading experts in the field of epidemiology are preparing for the fact that the world may face a new dangerous disease.
Berdyklychev explained that everything comes down to the presence of a huge number of viruses and bacteria that have the ability to mutate.
And this is happening in different parts of the world. No one expected that Wuhan could become the starting point of the COVID-19 pandemic.
This could happen with "disease X". Scientists and doctors know that viruses and bacteria mutate. Research is constantly being conducted, but still no one can say exactly where it will all start.
According to Berdyklychev, a new pandemic is only a matter of time. The main thing here is how prepared the global healthcare system is for it.
Previously, the doctor recommended that parents vaccinate their baby against rotavirus before going on vacation.
