The World Health Organization said the world isn’t at the end of the COVID-19 pandemic, just days after President Joe Biden declared it’s over in the United States.
“Being able to see the end does not mean we are at the end,” said WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus in an online briefing Thursday.
Tedros, who said last week the end of the pandemic is in sight, warned there are still large gaps in vaccination in poor countries, risks of the virus evolving into more dangerous variants and hardly any access to life-saving COVID-19 drugs in low-income nations.
