He also complained once again about the lack of a mechanism to distribute vaccines among countries.
Mr. Guterres discussed the fight against COVID-19 at a press conference following a meeting with the head of the World Health Organization (WHO), Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus. The WHO aims to vaccinate 70% of the world's population against the virus by mid-2022.
"Not achieving a fair distribution of vaccines is not just immoral, it is unwise," said the UN secretary-general, quoted by The Guardian. He called on G20 countries to help solve the problem at a summit planned in Rome on 30-31 October.
The Mexican foreign ministry said the unequal conditions created restrictions on Russian and Chinese vaccines against the coronavirus.
