The World Health Organization (WHO) has officially announced that Covid-19 is no longer considered a global health emergency. With efforts from governments, healthcare professionals, and communities around the world, the situation has seen significant improvements, leading to a decline in both infection rates and mortality rates. However, WHO emphasizes the need for continued efforts to prevent any resurgence and maintain the progress made thus far in the face of any potential future challenges.
