COVID-19 no longer a global health emergency, WHO declares
The change should be considered an 'accolade', says Dr Tedros Ghebreyesus.
After 40 months and one week, the WHO has decided that COVID-19 is no longer a global health emergency — even if it remains a pandemic.
Director-general Dr Tedros Ghebreyesus (PhD) said on Friday that countries should “transition to long-term management” of COVID-19 and that it was not an “extraordinary event” anymore.
