(Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus / WHO Director-General)
“Yesterday, the emergency committee met for the 15th time and recommended to me that I declare an end to the Public Health Emergency of International Concern. I have accepted that advice. It's therefore with great hope that I declare COVID-19 over as a global health emergency.”
Tedros says it's time the world started managing COVID-19 alongside other infectious diseases. He cites falling mortality rates and increased immunity, but also says the virus remains a threat.
