The World Health Organization on Friday said that the high coverage of Covid-19 vaccines in some countries, combined with the lower severity of the Omicron variant, is driving a “dangerous narrative” that the pandemic is over.
WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said that present conditions in the pandemic were in fact ideal for more transmissible and dangerous variants of coronavirus to emerge.
