📢 "Because we are facing a testing shortage, we recommend that countries 🌎 prioritize rapid antigen tests for individuals who are experiencing #COVID19 symptoms and are at risk of spreading the virus", @DirOPSPAHO https://t.co/HHcK9TQHlK
#COVID19 has caused a "pandemic of inequality", says @DirOPSPAHO, in her OpEd for @Nature
Factors including gender and ethnicity have played a huge role in access to health services 🩺 in the Americas 🌎
With #COVID19 surging throughout the Americas 🌎 and demand for diagnostics higher than ever, @DirOPSPAHO has called on countries to prioritize rapid antigen tests for those with symptoms – who are most at risk of spreading the disease 🦠

📢 "Although omicron 🦠 infections appear to be milder, we continue to urge caution because the virus is spreading more actively than ever before. Vaccines 💉 shield us from the worst #COVID19 symptoms and reduce our chances of needing hospitalized care", @DirOPSPAHO https://t.co/JSFdmF81WH
We need to rely on all of these measures to continue to protect ourselves and each other ❤️ against this virus.
Slowing the spread of COVID will require every tool 🧰 in our arsenal –
🔸vaccines
🔸social distancing
🔸mask wearing
🔸avoiding large gatherings
🔸and testing
That’s why it’s important to remember that testing alone will not overcome this virus 🦠
