In his New Year’s address, Gebreyesus called the reason for the appearance of a new variant of the Omicron covid “narrow nationalism and the creation of excessive stocks of vaccines by some countries.” WHO has repeatedly criticized the rich countries of the world, which have recently offered their citizens to get third booster vaccinations, while in many regions a significant part of the population has not received the first dose of the vaccine.

Later Telemachus was ranked among the holy Martyrs of Victory. By that time, gladiatorial fights were already gradually declining. The last mention of gladiatorial schools dates back to 397.
