World Health Organization announced the end of the COVID-19 emergency. This means that one of the deadliest and most economically devastating pandemics in modern history is receding.

For more than a year now, the pandemic has been on a declining trend with population immunity from vaccination and infection rising, mortality falling, and the burden on health systems easing. This trend has allowed most countries to return to life as we knew it before the coronavirus. Therefore, it is with great hope that I announce that COVID-19 is no longer a public health emergency.”
