WHO sees no end to COVID-19 pandemic

WHO Chief Scientist Sumiya Swaminathan: The world is not close to the end of the COVID pandemic

It is premature to say that the COVID-19 pandemic is over, says WHO Chief Scientist Sumiya Swaminathan. According to her, the Sars-Cov-2 virus mutates, so the organization is waiting for the emergence of new dangerous strains.

The COVID-19 pandemic is not over, the World Health Organization (WHO) is waiting for the emergence of new strains of the virus. This was announced by the chief researcher of the organization Sumiya Swaminathan, reports Reuters.

“We have seen the virus evolve, mutate … so we know there will be new variants of concern, so we are not at the end of the pandemic,” Swaminathan told reporters in South Africa, where she and WHO chief Tedros Ghebreyesus visited vaccine manufacturing companies.
