A top World Health Organization (WHO) official believes the world has never been in a better position to end the coronavirus pandemic as deaths from COVID-19 last week were the lowest since March 2020.

“We are not there yet. But the end is in sight,” WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus told reporters at a virtual press conference Sept. 15.

Dr. Michael Head, senior research fellow in global health at Southampton University, added “It’s probably fair to say most of the world is moving beyond the emergency phase of the pandemic response.”

Finish the Job

The virus, which emerged in China in late 2019, has killed nearly 6.5 million people and infected 606 million. Ghebreyesus comments come as vaccines and therapies have helped to stem deaths and hospitalisations in the last year and a half, and the Omicron variant which emerged late last year cases were less severe disease.

Continue Vaccine Programs

 “Now is the time to run harder and make sure we cross the line and reap the rewards of all our hard work,” said Ghebreyesus.

The WHO urged nations to vaccinate 100% of their high-risk groups and keep testing for the virus as a way to be prepared for the inevitable spikes in cases.

“We expect there to be future waves of infections, potentially at different time points throughout the world caused by different subvariants of Omicron or even different variants of concern,” said WHO’s senior epidemiologist Maria Van Kerkhove.
