WHO Ends Global COVID Emergency, But Experts Warn of Continued Vigilance
TL;DR
The World Health Organization has declared Covid as no longer a "global health emergency," but it remains a "global health threat." The pandemic has been on a downward trend for the past year, allowing "most countries to return to life as we knew it before Covid-19." The disease is "here to stay," and future waves may occur, but the tools are in place to ensure they do not result in more severe disease or waves of death. Covid will remain a "public health priority."
