GENEVA, Switzerland- Posibleng ituring ang COVID-19 pandemic ngayong taon bilang na katumbas ng trangkaso, ayon sa World Health Organization nitong Biyernes.

Inihayag ng WHO ang kumpiyansa na madedeklara nito ang wakas ng  emergency ngayong 2023, at sinasabing umaasa ito na matatapos na ang pandemya.

“I think we’re coming to that point where we can look at COVID-19 in the same way we look at seasonal influenza,” pahayag ni WHO emergencies director Michael Ryan.

“A threat to health, a virus that will continue to kill. But a virus that is not disrupting our society or disrupting our hospital systems, and I believe that that will come, as Tedros said, this year.”

“I am confident that this year we will be able to say that COVID-19 is over as a public health emergency of international concern (PHEIC),” ayon naman kay WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus. RNT/SA
