» The World Health Organization (WHO) South-East Asia region has in recent months witnessed a sharp and sustained surge of SARS-CoV2 infections. For consecutive weeks in April and May, the region has reported more than 2 million new cases, with some areas reporting test positivity rates 40% and upwards. Variants of concern and their sub-lineages have been detected in several member states and may be associated with increased rates of transmission. Both the region and world are at a critical moment in the battle against Covid-19. No country is safe. We are all at risk.
