Be prepared for fresh COVID-19 waves, WHO chief scientist Soumya Swaminathan has warned, amid the onset of new variants that are more transmissible, immune evasive and growing concerns about greater hospitalisations.

All countries must have a data driven plan to quickly respond to changing situations https://t.co/qAKPIyG8os
