According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the corona pandemic is nearing its end. After two and a half years, the world has never been in a better position to survive the pandemic, WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said on Wednesday.
“We’re not done yet. But the end is in sight.” For now, however, the countries should stick to their efforts in the fight against the corona virus.
According to the UN agency, fewer people died from the pathogen in the past week than at any time since March 2020. The WHO also expects waves of disease in the future, says Maria Kerkhove, technical director of the Covid 19 program. However, with vaccines and antiviral drugs, the world has powerful tools at its disposal.

This is currently indicated by the available parameters of the reported number of cases and plaque development in hospitals, it said Wednesday. However, the associated increase in hospital occupancy is “expected to be moderate”.
