INTERNATIONAL: The head of the World Health Organization (WHO) has said on Monday ,January 24, it would be dangerous to assume that the highly transmissible Omicron was the last variant to emerge and that the world was in the 'end game' of the pandemic.

The World Health Organization General-Director,Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus has said it’s possible this year to exit the acute phase of the pandemic where COVID-19 constitutes a global health emergency if strategies and tools such as testing, and vaccines are used in a comprehensive way.

Speaking at the opening of Executive Board meeting, Tedros has mentioned since Omicron was first identified a little over nine weeks ago, more than 80 million cases had been reported to the U.N. agency, more than were reported in the whole of 2020.

"Conditions are ideal for more variants to emerge," he added.
