The Air Rescue Team of FEMERAID International informs all our members, Knights and Dames of the Sovereign Order of Saint John of Jerusalem, Knights of Malta, Federation of the Autonomous Priories (KMFAP) about the followings:

In much of the world, the number of new COVID-19 cases has decreased in the last seven consecutive weeks. In this first week of March, however, the number of new cases increased again to the dismay of all. Several research studies are underway to determine the cause of this rise. One of the most plausible explanations is that of the new variants, especially those from South Africa and Brazil, which are more contagious and pathogenic. It is believed that these are now creating what is already referred to as ‘The 4th Wave’. Many pharmaceutical companies are already upgrading their vaccines to increase their effectiveness against these variants. Some experts are already talking about possible revaccination of populations against these variants by the end of the year.

Stay Safe!
