The COVID-19 pandemic is far from over as new variants of the novel coronavirus are likely to emerge given current high levels of transmission, World Health Organization (WHO) officials said on Tuesday.
The Omicron variant, which is highly transmissible, is unlikely to be the last strain of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, as the virus is still “circulating at a very intense level” worldwide, Maria Van Kerkhove, the WHO’s technical lead officer on COVID-19, said at a briefing in Geneva.
