Ua hoʻopuka ka Luna Hoʻokele o ka WHO Regional Office no ka Hikina Waena Mediterranean i kēia mau manaʻo ma ka Virtual Press Conference -COVID-19 ma ka Pōʻakahi 15 Pepeluali 2021:

Aloha nā hoapili,

Mahalo no kou hui pū ʻana mai iā mākou i kēia lā.

Ma mua o hoʻokahi makahiki ma hope o ka hihia mua o Covid-19 ua hōʻike ʻia i ko mākou Māhele, noho koʻikoʻi ke kūlana. Ma kahi o ʻeono miliona mau kānaka i loaʻa i ka maʻi, a aneane make he 140,000 poʻe. I ko mākou Māhele, kahi e luku mau ʻia ai nā poʻe a me nā ʻōnaehana olakino e nā hakakā, nā pōpilikia kūlohelohe, a me nā maʻi maʻi, ua kīloi kēia maʻi iā mākou āpau i kā mākou palena.

Ke nānā nei mākou i ke kūlana o kēia manawa ma waena o ka Māhele, aia paha he paʻa maʻamau i ka helu o nā hihia. Akā uhi kēia i nā helu ma ka pae pae ʻāina, kahi e hōʻike ai nā ʻāina he nui e pili ana i ka hoʻonui ʻana. Ke ʻike nei kekahi mau ʻāina ma ke kahawai i nā hoʻonui hou ʻana o nā hihia, a ma Lebanona, ua hiki i ka 100% ka nui o ka pono i kekahi mau haukapila, me nā mea maʻi e mālama ʻia i nā keʻena haukapila ʻē aʻe a i ʻole nā hakahaka.

Pili pū kekahi mākou i nā ʻano hou. He ʻumikūmākolu mau ʻāina i hōʻike i nā hihia o ka liʻiliʻi ma mua o hoʻokahi o nā ʻano hou ʻekolu i hōʻike ʻia ma ka honua holoʻokoʻa, e like me nā mea i ʻoi aku ka nui o nā helu lawe. Pili kekahi mau ʻano ʻokoʻa me ka maʻi lele hou aku a hiki ke hoʻonui i nā hihia a me ka haukapila. Ke noʻonoʻo nei i ka nui o nā haukapila i hiki i ka palena nui, he hopena maikaʻi ʻole kēia i nā lawelawe olakino pono ʻē aʻe.

He mea nui ia e hoʻomau nā ʻāina o kā mākou ʻĀpana e noiʻi a hōʻike i kēia ʻano ʻokoʻa iā WHO, i hiki ai iā mākou ke hoʻohui i nā hana e kiaʻi i ko lākou hopena a aʻo i nā ʻāina e pili ana. He ʻumikūmāhā mau ʻāina i ka ʻāina i loaʻa ka hiki ke hoʻonohonoho ʻana i ka genome, akā ke hana nei kekahi mau ʻāina i kēia manawa i ka nui o ke kaʻina o ka maʻi ma mua o nā mea ʻē aʻe.

Ke kōkua nei ʻo WHO i nā ʻāina me ka ʻole o ke kaʻina e ʻike i nā ʻano hou a lawe i nā laʻana i nā keʻena hoʻokolohua kūloko. Ke paipai mau nei mākou i nā ʻāina me ka hiki ke hoʻonohonoho ʻana i kā lākou ʻikepili ma o ka ʻikepili lehulehu a i ʻole nā anuu.

ʻO nā hiʻohiʻona o nā ʻano hou i hāpai i nā nīnau e pili ana i ka hopena o nā lāʻau āpau i kēia mau ʻano ʻokoʻa. I kekahi mau hihia, hiki i ka hoʻololi ke hoʻololi i ka pane i nā lāʻau lapaʻau, a pono mākou e mākaukau e hoʻololi i nā lāʻau āpau, no laila hoʻomau lākou i ka maikaʻi.

Hōʻike ia i ka pono o ka hana lāʻau lāʻau i ka nui o ka poʻe i hiki ma mua o ka hōʻike ʻana i nā ʻano hou. I kēia manawa, ua hāʻawi ʻia ma mua o 6.3 miliona mau koina o COVID-19 i nā kānaka ma nā ʻāina he 12 o ka Māhele.

Ua hauʻoli mākou i ka nalu mua o nā lāʻau āpau i hāʻawi ʻia ma o ka COVAX Facility e hiki i ka poʻe i ka ʻāina Palestinian Teresa a me Tunisia i nā pule e hiki mai ana. Ke manaʻo nei nā ʻāina i koe he 20 i ko mākou ʻĀina i kahi 46 a 56 miliona mau kaha o ko AstraZeneca / Oxford i hoʻōla ʻia ma o COVAX Facility i ka hapa mua o kēia makahiki.

Akā ke ʻike mau nei mākou i ka kaʻana like o nā lāʻau āpau i waho o ka honua. Ua kāhea aku ka Luna Hoʻokele o WHO no ka hoʻōla ʻana i nā limahana olakino a me ka poʻe ʻelemakule e lilo i mea nui i nā ʻāina āpau i loko o nā lā 100 mua o ka makahiki. ʻAʻole i ʻoi aku ka koʻikoʻi o kēia ma mua o ko mākou Māhele, kahi o nā limahana olakino kahi waiwai nui a waiwai ʻole hoʻi, a ʻo ka poʻe nāwaliwali ka mea mua e loaʻa ke kākoʻo, ma mua o ka waiho ʻia ʻana.

A ʻoiai he makemake i waena o nā alakaʻi e pale mua i ko lākou poʻe ponoʻī, ʻo ka pane i kēia maʻi ahulau e hui pū ʻia. Ma loko o kā mākou ʻike ʻāina o ka "olakino no nā mea āpau", kāhea mākou i nā ʻāina waiwai piha e hōʻike i ka laulima a me ke kākoʻo ʻana i nā ʻāina me nā kumuwaiwai haʻahaʻa e kiʻi i ka lāʻau lapaʻau.

ʻOiai he mea nui loa nā lāʻau lapaʻau no ka pane ʻana i ka maʻi ahulau, ʻaʻole lawa lākou. ʻO ka pōhaku kihi o ka pane ka mea i hoʻomau i kā mākou mālama i ke olakino lehulehu a me nā hana kaiaulu e kāohi i ka lawe ʻana, mālama i nā ola, a pale i nā ʻōnaehana olakino nāwaliwali. ʻO kēia mau hana olakino lehulehu i hōʻoia ʻia hiki ke kaupalena ʻia i ka hiki ke ʻike ʻia he mau ʻano ʻano weliweli o ka maʻi ʻē aʻe.

E like me kā mākou e ʻike nei, pili kēia mau ana i ka nānā ʻana i nā maʻi, ka hoʻāʻo ʻana i ka hale hana, hoʻokaʻawale a me ka mālama ʻana i nā hihia āpau, a me ka quarantine a me ka huli ʻana i nā pilina. ʻO nā masks, ka hoʻoliʻiliʻi kaiapili, nā hana hoʻomaʻemaʻe maikaʻi a me ka hōʻalo ʻana i nā hōʻuluʻulu lehulehu e like me ka mea nui i kēia lā e like me kēlā me kēia manawa i ka wā o ke ahulau.

Eia hou, ʻōlelo hou mākou ʻo nā ʻāina i kūleʻa nui i ka pane ʻana i ka maʻi ahulau ua lawe i kēia mau ana i ka pālākiō.

Ke neʻe nei i ka hoʻopau ʻana i ka maʻi maʻi COVID-19 e neʻe nei i ke ala kūpono. Akā hiki wale kēia i ka hana mau o nā poʻe āpau a me nā aupuni āpau.

ʻAʻohe mea e palekana a palekana nā kānaka āpau.

Mahalo.
