WHO head offers upbeat view of state of pandemic; ‘The world has never been in a better position to end it.’
The head of the World Health Organization offered an upbeat assessment of the state of the pandemic on Wednesday, telling reporters that the world has never been in a better position to end it.
“We are not there yet. But the end is in sight,” Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus told reporters at a virtual press conference. In another positive, the agency said deaths in the previous week fell to their lowest level since March 2020. It will also stop reporting testing numbers, because those numbers are no longer reliable, and start pulling data from other sources, such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, instead of directly from local health agencies.
The daily average for new cases stood at 64,598 on Tuesday, down 29% from two weeks ago. The tracker shows case counts rising in just four states — Connecticut, Maryland, Idaho and New Hampshire — and falling everywhere else.
