On England, unvaccinated women who suffered with Covid-19 during their pregnancies have told “terrifying” stories of having the virus, from being rushed to the hospital to undergoing emergency cesarean sections.

The women appear in a video sharing their experiences of severe Covid-19 during pregnancy as part of a new campaign encouraging pregnant women to get vaccinated.

The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) said that 98% of pregnant women hospitalized with symptomatic Covid-19 are not vaccinated.

The video features three women who experienced serious complications after contracting Covid-19 before being vaccinated, as well as the doctors and front-line personnel who treated them, to warn of the dangers of the virus to pregnant women and their babies. .

Christina, a Guildford mental health therapist who was admitted to the hospital with Covid-19 in her third trimester, said: “I had to deliver by emergency caesarean section because there was concern that I might have a stillbirth. It was frightening.

“I don’t know what the future holds for me and my baby; I still suffer from symptoms along with the anxiety of not knowing how or when I will recover.

“I urge pregnant women to get vaccinated because I don’t want anyone to experience what I went through.”

Tanviha, who works in anesthesiology and research in Manchester, spent two months in hospital with Covid-19 after an emergency cesarean section, said she contracted Covid-19 during her second pregnancy in February.

An Italian who wanted a coronavirus vaccine certificate without having the jab tried to play the system by presenting healthcare workers with a fake arm.

Despite the realistic skin color, no one was fooled by the silicone tip, and the man, in his 50s, was reported to local police following the Thursday night incident in Biella, northwestern Italy. .

“The case borders on the ridiculous, if it were not because we are talking about a gesture of enormous gravity,” said in a statement on Facebook the head of the regional government of Piedmont, Albert Cirio.

He said such an act was “unacceptable in the face of the sacrifice that our entire community has paid during the pandemic, in terms of human lives, the social and economic cost.”

the Cook islands on Saturday it registered its first case of Covid-19 since the pandemic began, as the South Pacific country approaches to reopen its borders to tourists.

The nation of around 17,000 people has one of the highest vaccination rates in the world, with 96% of the population eligible in double doses.

The virus was detected in a 10-year-old boy who was in quarantine after arriving on a repatriation flight with his family on Thursday, Prime Minister Mark Brown said in a statement. The boy is believed to have arrived by plane from New Zealand.

South Korea it again broke its daily records for coronavirus infections and deaths and confirmed three more cases of the new Omicron variant as officials scramble to tighten social distancing and border controls.

The 5,352 new cases reported by the Korea Disease Prevention and Control Agency on Saturday marked the third time this week that the daily count surpassed 5,000. The death toll in the country was 3,809 after a record 70 patients with the virus died in the last 24 hours, while the 752 patients in serious or critical conditions also reached an all-time high.

As the delta-driven surge threatens to overwhelm hospital systems, there are also concerns about the local spread of the Omicron variant, which is considered potentially more infectious than previous strains of the virus.

The country’s number of omicron cases now stands at nine after the KDCA confirmed three more cases. The new cases include the wife, mother-in-law and a friend of a man who caught Omicron from a couple whom he drove home from the airport after they arrived from Nigeria on November 24. The couple’s teenage son and two other women who also traveled to Nigeria were also infected with Omicron.

Authorities say the number of Omicron cases could rise as some of the patients had attended a church meeting in which hundreds of people participated on Nov. 28.

While the emergence of Omicron has sparked global alarm and pushed governments around the world to tighten their borders, scientists say it’s unclear whether the new variant is more contagious, more likely to evade the protection provided by the vaccines or more likely to cause serious illness than previous versions of the virus.
