As per worldwide COVID updates, death rates have fallen drastically however the spread of the Omicron variant still is a sign of worry. Many developing economies have taken a hit and are currently unsure whether or not to completely lift all restrictions. Having said that, China has started phase-wise lockdown again to combat Omicron deaths.
The joint statement by the participating countries further added, “We call all the global leaders, society members, government and private organizations, public and private health care organizations, philanthropists to take this as a personal commitment to save lives of everyone on this planet no matter which nation they belong to.

We aim to stick to our strategy and we aim to ensure we reach our worldwide goal.”
