✍️This emergency isn’t over for everyone - for those clinically vulnerable, it may never be.
✍️It’s no longer a #PHEIC, @who, but COVID is still responsible for millions of infections, #LongCOVID, and thousands of deaths each week globally. @ConversationUK

End of the #PHEIC for the #COVID19 but it remains under surveillance and it continues to kill (thousands per day). 7 millions of confirmed deaths, probably 12 millions in the reality.
No other major hazards (including geologicial or climated related hazards) can kill as much as epidemic, by far.

On 9 February the 4th meeting of the @WHO #IHR Emergency Committee occurred for #mpox.
Despite great progress, there are still over 30 countries reporting cases. The DG accepted the recommendation to continue with the #PHEIC
#WHO: #IHR #EC considered various options to sustain attention & resources to control #mpox #outbreak & advised maintaining the #PHEIC status, while beginning to consider plans to integrate mpox prevention, #preparedness & response within national #surveillance & control programmes, including for #HIV and other #STIs, https://www.who.int/news/item/15-02-2023-fourth-meeting-of-the-international-health-regulations-(2005)-(ihr)-emergency-committee-on-the-multi-country-outbreak-of-monkeypox-(mpox)

''The #WHO #DG concurs with advice offered by the Committee regarding the ongoing #COVID19 #pandemic and determines that the #event continues to constitute a #PHEIC. The DG acknowledges the Committee’s views that COVID-19 pandemic is probably at a transition point and appreciates the advice of the Committee to navigate this transition carefully and mitigate the potential negative consequences.''

The #Covid #PHEIC isn't over. But the end is probably in sight. https://www.statnews.com/2023/01/30/who-extends-public-health-emergency-over-covid-but-signals-end-could-come-soon/

On Friday the @WHO
's Emergency Committee on #Covid19 met for the 14th time. Their report was just published and they recommend keeping #covid19 as a public health emergency of international concern (#PHEIC) for now:

Does #COVID19 still meet the criteria to be a public health emergency of international concern? Probably not. Will WHO decide to end the #PHEIC after its outside experts debate the issue Friday? Probably not yet. https://www.statnews.com/2023/01/25/is-who-ready-to-end-covid-global-health-emergency/
