COVID no longer a global health emergency: WHO

[superadmin]

The World Health Organization on Friday announced that COVID-19 is no longer a global emergency, marking a symbolic end to the pandemic, which has taken 7 million lives around the world. The move is deemed a natural one given the current stable situation. 

"It's with great hope that I declare COVID-19 over as a global health emergency," WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said on Friday while noting that this "does not mean COVID-19 is over as a global health threat," as some regions, including Southeast Asia and the Middle East are seeing spikes in cases.
