Srinagar, Dec 1: The World Health Organization has advised Covid-vulnerable people and those who are not vaccinated to postpone plans to travel abroad.
Covid-vulnerable people, including the over-60s, should postpone plans to travel, the WHO said in a statement posted on its website on late Tuesday as more than 50 countries rush to implement travel measures aimed at delaying the spread of the new Omicron variant.
“Persons who are unwell, or who have not been fully vaccinated or do not have proof of previous SARS-CoV-2 infection and are at increased risk of developing severe disease and dying, including people 60 years of age or older or those with comorbidities that present increased risk of severe COVID-19 (e.g. heart disease, cancer and diabetes) should be advised to postpone travel to areas with community transmission,” the WHO advised.
