The world has so far witnessed over 24 crore confirmed COVID-19 cases including 49 lakh deaths.
New Delhi: World Health Organization (WHO) Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus on Sunday (October 24, 2021) said that the COVID-19 pandemic 'will end when the world chooses to end it'. During his address at the World Health Summit in Berlin, the WHO Chief said that 'When will the COVID-19 pandemic end?' is one of the questions he is asked most often.
"The pandemic will end when the world chooses to end it. It is in our hands. We have all the tools we need: effective public health tools and effective medical tools. But the world has not used those tools well," Tedros said.
He added that with almost 50 thousand deaths a week, the 'pandemic is far from over'.
