UMlawuli weOfisi yeNgingqi ye-WHO ye-Mpuma yeMeditera ukhuphe la mazwi alandelayo kwiNkomfa ye-Virtual Press -COVID-19 ngoMvulo we-15 kuFebruwari 2021:
Molo bogxa-bam,
Enkosi ngokujoyina nathi namhlanje.
Ngaphezulu konyaka omnye emva kwetyala lokuqala lika Covid-19 ixeliwe kwiNgingqi yethu, imeko ihleli imbi. Phantse zizigidi ezithandathu zabantu abosulelekileyo, kwaye phantse abantu abayi-140,000 baye bafa kabuhlungu. KwiNgingqi yethu, apho abantu kunye neenkqubo zempilo zihlala zonakaliswa yingxabano, iintlekele zendalo, kunye nokuqhambuka kwezifo, le ntsholongwane isolule sonke ukuya kuthi ga kwimida yethu.
Njengoko sijonga imeko yangoku kuyo yonke iNgingqi, kubonakala ngathi kukho uzinzo kwinani lamatyala. Kodwa oku kufihla amanani kwinqanaba lelizwe, apho amazwe aliqela anika ingxelo malunga nokunyuka. Amazwe aliqela eGulf abona ukonyuka okutsha kwimeko, kwaye eLebhanon, Unyango lweZonyango olunzulu kwezinye izibhedlele lufikelele kwi-100%, abaguli baphathwa kwezinye izibhedlele okanye kwezinye iindawo ezingenanto.
Sikwaxhalabile ngumahluko omtsha. Amazwe alishumi elinesithathu axele ngamatyala ubuncinci obubodwa kwezi zinto zintathu zixeliweyo kwihlabathi liphela, kubandakanya nezo zinokuba namazinga aphezulu okusasaza. Olunye uhlobo olutsha lunxulunyaniswa nosulelo olukhulu kwaye kunokubangela ukonyuka kwamatyala kunye nokulaliswa esibhedlele. Ukujonga ukuba zingaphi na izibhedlele esele zikwizinga eliphezulu, oku kunefuthe elibi kwezinye iinkonzo zempilo eziyimfuneko.
Kubalulekile ukuba amazwe kwiNgingqi yethu aqhubeke nokuphanda kwaye anike ingxelo ngezi zinto zahlukileyo kwi-WHO, ukuze sikwazi ukulungelelanisa iinzame zokubeka iliso kwimpembelelo yazo kunye nokucebisa amazwe ngokufanelekileyo. Amazwe alishumi elinesine kwingingqi anamandla okulandelelanisa i-genome, kodwa amanye amazwe okwangoku enza ukulandelelana kwentsholongwane kunamanye.
I-WHO inceda amazwe ngaphandle kokulandelelana komthamo wokuchonga izinto ezintsha ezahlukeneyo kunye nemizekelo yezothutho kwiilebhu zereferensi yengingqi. Siyaqhubeka nokukhuthaza amazwe anamandla ngokulandelelana ekwabelaneni ngedatha yawo ngoovimba beenkcukacha zoluntu okanye amaqonga.
Ukubonakala kweenguqu ezintsha kuphakamise imibuzo malunga nefuthe elinokubakho lokugonya kwezi zinto zahlukileyo. Ngamanye amaxesha, utshintsho olunokuchaphazela impendulo kwizitofu zokugonya, kwaye kufuneka sikulungele ukulungelelanisa izitofu, ukuze zihlale zisebenza.
Ikwaqaqambisa isidingo sokugonya abantu abaninzi kangangoko ngaphambi kokuba bafumane izinto ezintsha. Ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, ngaphezulu kwe-6.3 yezigidi zeedosi zokugonya ze-COVID-19 zinikwe abantu kumazwe ali-12 oMmandla.
Siyavuya ukuba amaza okuqala okugonya ahanjiswe ngeZiko le-COVAX aya kufikelela kubantu abahlala kwiPalestine Territory naseTunisia kwiiveki ezizayo. Amazwe angama-20 aseleyo kwiNgingqi yethu alindele uqikelelo lwama-46 ukuya kuma-56 ezigidi zeedosi ze-AstraZeneca / Oxford ngeedosi zokugonya nge-COVAX Facility kwisiqingatha sokuqala salo nyaka.
Kodwa sisabona ukuhanjiswa okungalinganiyo kwezitofu zokukhutshwa kwihlabathi jikelele. UMlawuli-Jikelele we-WHO ucele ugonyo lwabasebenzi bezempilo kunye nabantu abadala ukuba lubekwe phambili kuwo onke amazwe kwiintsuku zokuqala eziyi-100 zonyaka. Oku akuzange kube yinto ebaluleke ngaphezu koMmandla wethu, apho abasebenzi bezempilo banqabile kwaye baxabisekileyo, kwaye abantu abasemngciphekweni kufuneka babe ngabokuqala ukufumana inkxaso, kunokuba bashiye ngasemva.
Kwaye ngelixa kukho umnqweno phakathi kweenkokheli zokukhusela abantu bazo kuqala, impendulo kulo bhubhane kufuneka ibe ngokudibeneyo. Kumbono wethu wengingqi “wezempilo kubo bonke”, simemelela onke amazwe anezinto ezaneleyo ukuba abonakalise ubumbano kwaye axhase amazwe anezixhobo ezisezantsi zokufikelela kwisitofu sokugonya.
Ngelixa izitofu zokugonya ziyimpumelelo enkulu ekuphenduleni ubhubhane, azonelanga. Ilitye lembombo lokuphendula lihlala lilandela ukubambelela kwimpilo yoluntu kunye namanyathelo entlalontle okucinezela usulelo, ukusindisa ubomi, kunye nokukhusela iinkqubo zempilo esele zigcwele ekubeni zingoyiki. La manyathelo ezempilo aqinisekisiweyo anokuthintela ukubakho kwezinto ezahlukeneyo eziyingozi zentsholongwane.
Njengoko sisazi, la manyathelo abandakanya ukubekwa kweliso kwizifo, ukuvavanywa kwelabhoratri, ukubekwa wedwa kunye nonyango lwawo onke amatyala, ukuvalelwa yedwa nokulandelwa konxibelelwano. Iimaski, ukuhamba kude kwezentlalo, iindlela ezicocekileyo zococeko kunye nokuthintela ukuhlangana ngobuninzi kuhlala kubalulekile namhlanje nanini na ngelixesha lobhubhane.
Kwakhona, siyaphinda ukuba amazwe athe aphumelela ekuphenduleni ubhubhane athathe la manyathelo okulinganisa.
Inkqubela phambili yokuphelisa ubhubhane we-COVID-19 uhamba kwicala elifanelekileyo. Kodwa oku kunokwenzeka kuphela ngemizamo eqhubekayo yabo bonke abantu kunye nabo bonke oorhulumente.
Akukho mntu ukhuselekileyo de wonke umntu akhuseleke.
Enkosi.

- Almost six million people have been infected with COVID-19, and almost 140,000 people have tragically diedThirteen countries have reported cases of at least one of the three new variants reported globally, including those which may have higher transmission ratesThe appearance of new variants has raised questions about the potential impact of vaccines on these variants.
- We are pleased that the first wave of vaccines provided via the COVAX Facility will be reaching people in the occupied Palestinian Territory and Tunisia in the coming weeks.
- WHO's Director-General has called for the vaccination of health workers and older people to be prioritized in all countries within the first 100 days of the year.
