Jan 30 (Reuters) - The World Health Organization (WHO) said on Monday that
COVID-19 continues to constitute a public health emergency of international
concern, its highest form of alert.
The pandemic was likely in a "transition point" that continues to need careful
management to "mitigate the potential negative consequences", the agency added
in a statement.
It is three years since the WHO first declared that COVID represented a global
health emergency. More than 6.8 million people have died during the outbreak,
which has touched every country on Earth, ravaging communities and economies.

However, the advent of vaccines and treatments has changed the pandemic
situation considerably since 2020, and WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom
Ghebreyesus has said he hopes to see an end to the emergency this year,
particularly if access to the counter-measures can be improved globally.
"We remain hopeful that in the coming year, the world will transition to a new
phase in which we reduce (COVID) hospitalisations and deaths to their lowest
possible level,” Tedros told a separate WHO meeting on Monday.

Advisers to the WHO expert committee on the pandemic's status told Reuters in
December that it was likely not the moment to end the emergency given the
uncertainty over the wave of infections in China after it lifted its strict
zero-COVID measures at the end of 2022.
