The World Health Organization (WHO) claimed on Sunday that there might finally be an end to the Covid pandemic in Europe, after the rapid spread of the Omicron variant.
“It is plausible that the region is approaching an end to the pandemic,” Regional Director Hans Kluge told the AFP news agency.
As he also said:

"There is a lot of talk about endemic but endemic means ... that it is possible to predict what's going to happen. This virus has surprised (us) more than once so we have to be very careful."
