'Global unity key in ending Covid'

GLOBAL cooperation is key in controlling the Covid-19 pandemic, the director of the Gamaleya Research Institute, the developer of the Sputnik V vaccine, said.

In his first Philippine media interview, professor Alexander Gintsburg said that countries should vaccinate 75 percent to 80 percent of their entire population within a six- to eight-month period.
