Director-General of the World Health Organization, Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, declared COVID-19 “over as a global health emergency” at a Press Conference today (Friday 5th May 2023). According to Dr. Ghebreyesus, “Yesterday, the Emergency Committee met for the 15th time and recommended to me that I declare an end to the public health emergency of international concern. I have accepted that advice. It is therefore with great hope that I declare COVID-19 over as a global health emergency.”
However, he cautioned, “that does not mean COVID-19 is over as a global health threat. Last week, COVID-19 claimed a life every three minutes — and that’s just the deaths we know about. As we speak, thousands of people around the world are fighting for their lives in intensive care units. And millions more continue to live with the debilitating effects of post-COVID-19 condition.”
Below are the full remarks by Dr. Ghebreyesus at today’s COVID-19 Press Conference:
