Covid-19 pandemic End
Subject – Science and Tech
Context – world deciding when the Covid-19 pandemic is over
Concept –
- There’s no clear-cut definition for when a pandemic starts and ends, and how much of a threat a global outbreak is posing can vary by country.
- The pandemic may be widely considered over when WHO decides the virus is no longer an emergency of international concern, a designation its expert committee has been reassessing every three months.
- But when the most acute phases of the crisis ease within countries could vary.
- Scientists expect Covid-19 will eventually settle into becoming a more predictable virus like the flu, meaning it will cause seasonal outbreaks but not the huge surges we’re seeing right now.
