The number of newly reported Covid-19 cases has dropped dramatically, the World Health Organization said on Wednesday, urging the world to seize the opportunity to end the pandemic.
“We have never been in a better position to end the pandemic,” he told reporters. “We are not there yet, but the end is in sight.”
But the world needed to step up to “seize this opportunity”, he added.
“If we don’t take this opportunity now, we run the risk of more variants, more deaths, more disruption, and more uncertainty.”
