I um uh wrote a message today to the people of uh Tenerife um to address exactly what what you said. 
Um uh this disease is not COVID and we have said it many times as WHO. 
And when we say this, we don't take it lightly. 
The concern is uh legitimate because we have all experienced because of COVID especially in 2020. 
And that trauma is still in our minds. 
So, people will have questions, people will have concerns and that's what I tried to address in my message to the people of Tenerife. 
We we hear you, we understand. 
Uh but the situation is much better now. 
And the other advantage is the nature of the disease as well. 
So, uh that's why also I came here uh to be on the side of the the people because saying things from far could be easy. 
Uh but I had to change my plan to come here because this is very very important for the whole world and for the people of Tenerife as well.
