The hope is to be able to say next year: “This is no longer a pandemic,” WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said on Wednesday. On the other hand, however, it is also clear as day that “the virus will remain”. However, vaccines, medication and rules of conduct should suffice to contain the virus.
It is not for the WHO to label a pandemic as ‘over’, as the term ‘pandemic’ does not appear in the WHO toolbox. The World Health Organization can only lift a “public health emergency of international concern”. It was created at the end of 2020 due to corona.
