The World Health Organization (WHO) announced that covid-19 no longer represents a global health emergency.
Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, director-general of WHO, said in a tweet that the organization’s covid emergency committee recommended “an end to the public health emergency of international concern” and that he accepted.
“With great hope I declare COVID-19 over as a global health emergency,” Ghebreyesus added.
Yesterday, the #COVID19 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.
