Sharjah24 – Reuters: The World Health Organisation's (WHO) Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus warned Monday that it would be dangerous to assume that the highly transmissible Omicron was the last variant to emerge and that the world was in the 'end game' of the pandemic.
Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus also said the acute phase of the pandemic could still end this year if some key targets are met.
Speaking at the opening of the Executive Board meeting, Tedros said since Omicron was first identified a little over nine weeks ago, more than 80 million cases had been reported to the U.N. agency, more than were reported in the whole of 2020. "Conditions are ideal for more variants to emerge," he added.
