The coronavirus pandemic could be entering the "end game" in Europe as case numbers continue to stabilise.
This positive update was issued by the WHO's Europe Director Hans Kluge this week who predicted that a future wave of the disease "could no longer require the return to pandemic-era, population-wide lockdowns or similar measures".
His comments were echoed by leading immunologist Prof Luke O'Neill who believes that the disease can cease to be a global health emergency this year.
