Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Covid global health emergency is over, WHO says
On May 4, the World Health Organization (WHO) announced that COVID-19 is now an established and ongoing health issue which no longer constitutes a public health emergency of international concern. It is now dependent on each country to manage Covid in the way it thinks the best. Covid-19 was first declared the outbreak a global health emergency on January 30, 2020, and referred to as a pandemic on March 11. The pandemic caused over 765,000,000 cases and around seven million confirmed deaths, but it is estimated that as many as 20 million people have died of the virus. Thanks to 13 billion vaccine doses and preventive measures, including social distancing, wearing masks, improving ventilation and air filtration, and quarantining, one of the deadliest outbreaks in history has waned, and businesses, social activities, and traveling have resumed to nearly normal. However, be warned that even though the emergency may have ended, Covid-19 is still a pandemic and the threat is still there.
