Covid-19 health emergency could be over in 2022? Here's what WHO has to say

WHO said that if Covid-19 vaccines and other tools aren't shared fairly, the tragedy of the virus would continue.

Geneva: The worst of the coronavirus pandemic - deaths, hospitalisations and lockdowns - could be over this year if huge inequities in vaccinations and medicines are addressed quickly, the head of emergencies at the World Health Organisation (WHO) said Tuesday.

Dr Michael Ryan, speaking during a panel discussion on vaccine inequity hosted by the World Economic Forum, said 'we may never end the virus' because such pandemic viruses 'end up becoming part of the ecosystem.'

But 'we have a chance to end the public health emergency this year if we do the things that we've been talking about,' he said.
