The World Health Organization (WHO) declared a worldwide public health emergency over the spread of coronavirus two years ago, but the UN body’s director-general, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, stated on Sunday that the pandemic might be finished by 2022.
“On this day two years ago, I declared the Covid-19 outbreak a public health emergency of international concern to alert the world to this threat. WHO had been sharing advice with countries to help them respond since early January 2020 and we have not stopped since,” said Tedros in a Twitter post.
