The WHO Regional Director for Africa, Matshidiso Moeti, also criticised some of the travel bans targeting African countries as divisive, and urged countries to follow science and international health regulations in their decision-making.

"COVID-19 constantly exploits our divisions. We will only get the better of the virus if we work together for solutions."

Seth Berkley, CEO of the GAVI Vaccine Alliance that with the WHO co-leads the COVAX initiative to push for equitable distribution of vaccines, told Reuters on Saturday:

"As long as large portions of the world's population are unvaccinated, variants will continue to appear, and the pandemic will continue to be prolonged."
