– World Health Organization (WHO) Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, announcing the end to the coronavirus crisis as a “public health emergency of international concern”—its highest level of alert—which has been in place since January 30, 2020. The battle, however, is not over. “We still have [systemic] weaknesses,” notes WHO’s emergencies director Michael Ryan. “And those weaknesses will be exposed by this virus or another virus. In most cases, pandemics truly end when the next pandemic begins.”
