"The COVID-19 pandemic will unlikely end this year" - WHO

The World Health Organisation (WHO) yesterday, March 2 said it was unlikely the COVID-19 pandemic will end in 2021.

Mr Michael Ryan, Director of WHO’s health emergencies programme, at a news conference said, “I think it will be very premature and unrealistic to think that we are going to finish with this virus by the end of the year. "What we can finish with, if we are smart, is hospitalisations, deaths and the tragedy associated with this pandemic." Ryan said WHO’s focus at present was to keep transmissions as low as possible and vaccinate more and more people.
