The World Health Organization (WHO) hopes that already in 2023 it will be possible to declare the end of the coronavirus pandemic. The spread of COVID-19 has been declared a pandemic by WHO three years ago.
This was announced by the Director General of WHO Tedros Adhanom Gebreis March 13 at the Thomas Francis, Jr. Global Public Health Medal Ceremony. His speech was published on the organization’s website.
Gebreis noted that for three years almost 7 million deaths from COVID-19but the real statistics are really much higher.
“Now we are certainly in a better position… The improvement is significant. I am sure that at some point this year we will be able to say that COVID-19 is over both as a public health emergency of international concern and like a pandemic,” the WHO Director-General said.
He emphasized that humanity, for the sake of common security, needs to learn the lessonsderived from the existence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus
“If we don’t, we will repeat the cycle of panic and humiliation.which has been the hallmark of the global response to epidemics and pandemics for decades,” Ghebreis explained.
– Doctors believe that the new subspecies of SARS-CoV-2 “Kraken” is transmitted faster than other variants of the “corona”. There is no evidence that it is more difficult to tolerate or is associated with a higher risk of death.
