Following the meeting of the World Health Organization (WHO) Emergency Committee, held yesterday, its Director General, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, today announced the end of the Intentional Emergency situation for the COVID-19 pandemic. .
Although it seemed that this decision could have been made at their last meeting, three months ago, it was decided to postpone it a little longer. Fortunately, since then the figures have improved so much that, this time, they are no longer considered an emergency situation.
Of course, Adhanom has remembered that the virus has not gone away. A possible new variant is currently being studied and more will continue to emerge. Right now, the numbers of infections and deaths from COVID-19 continue to drop, but it will be necessary to continue monitoring the disease, in case it is necessary to take measures again. The end of SARS-CoV-2 may never come, but we have come a long way.
