Covid-19 pandemic is 'most certainly not over': WHO chief

The COVID-19 pandemic is “most certainly not over,” the head of the WHO warned, despite a decline in reported cases since the peak of the omicron wave. He told governments that “we lower our guard at our peril.” The UN health agency's director-general told officials gathered in Geneva for opening of the WHO's annual meeting that “declining testing and sequencing means we are blinding ourselves to the evolution of the virus.”
