COVID-19: Endemic status doesn’t mean virus is not dangerous, WHO says

December 22, 2021

Dr. Maria Van Kherkhove, COVID-19 technical lead for the World Health Organization (WHO) Health Emergencies Programme, said Wednesday that COVID-19 is “on its way” to becoming endemic, but cautioned that we’re still in a pandemic and said there will be “a long transition into how this pandemic ends.” She added that just because a virus is endemic doesn’t mean it is not dangerous.
