World Health Organization has warned the world of another deadly disease after the COVID-19.

According to Baaghi TV, another disease and epidemic will engulf the world after the coronavirus, the World Health Organization (WHO) has warned that the death toll from Malaria in Africa is double than that from coronavirus.

According to the WHO, mosquito bites could spread malaria this year due to disruptions to the supply of pesticides in Africa and that the death rate can become double than the previous year.

The director of the WHO Africa has expressed concern that malaria could kill more than 7.5 million people in sub-Saharan Africa this year. He added that this would be the highest number of deaths since 2000.

The head of the World Health Organization, Tedros, has warned that if measles and polio are not vaccinated, the disease could re-emerge.

The World Health Organisation (WHO) has warned that the number of deaths caused by malaria in sub-Saharan Africa could double to 769,000, as efforts to tackle the disease face disruptions by the coronavirus pandemic.

As of Thursday, the region had registered more than 26,000 cases of COVID-19. Some 7,000 people have recovered so far, while almost 1,250 have died.

The WHO said that if the focus on slowing the spread of the novel coronavirus leads to a 75 percent reduction in access to anti-malaria medicines, deaths could double to 769,000. Such a scenario would have devastating consequences for young children, with those under five making up more than two-thirds of all malaria deaths in 2018.

“While the world strives to develop a new vaccine for COVID-19 at record speed, we must not risk losing the fight to protect everyone, everywhere against vaccine-preventable diseases,” WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said in the statement.

“These diseases will come roaring back if we do not vaccinate.” (Al Jazeera)
