WHO declares end in sight for COVID-19 pandemic

The World Health Organisation has declared the end is in sight for the covid pandemic, but is urging countries to keep up their efforts against the virus, as death rates globally decline. While the announcement has been seen as positive by some, there is concern among others, including the AMA, that the pandemic is far from over with health systems still struggling.
