Nearly 7 million people have died from the virus worldwide since the WHO first declared the emergency on January 30, 2020
Three and a half years after the first appearance of Covid-19, the World Health Organization declared on Friday that it is no longer a global public health emergency.
“For more than a year, the pandemic has been on a downward trend with population immunity rising from vaccinations and infections, mortality falling and pressure on health systems easing”WHO director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said at a press conference in Geneva.
“This trend has allowed most countries to return to life as we knew it before Covid-19,” he pointed out.
“Yesterday, the emergency committee met for the 15th time and recommended that I declare an end to the public health emergency of international concern. I have accepted this advice” emphasized Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.
Nearly 7 million people have died from the virus worldwide since the WHO first declared the emergency on January 30, 2020, according to the UN agency’s official figures. Tedros said the real death toll is at least 20 million.
