WHO warns of three difficult months of pandemic

Experts have the opportunity to talk about the emergence of hopes for the end of the pandemic, but this will be preceded by a very difficult time, and the next three months will be difficult. David Nabarro , World Health Organization (WHO) spokesman for COVID-19, told Sky News.

According to him, there is a version that the virus will continue to mutate and new strains will appear. At the same time, the situation remains difficult in poor countries, where people have to work anyway, and the state is unable to impose serious restrictions.

Different European countries predict the development of the situation in the near future in different ways. For example, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said that due to the sharp drop in mortality, the pandemic should be considered rather as an endemic. In this case, you do not need to do daily counting of the number of cases and do not test people with minor symptoms for COVID. According to Sanchez, the head of the Spanish Ministry of Health, Carolina Darias, has already discussed this proposal with European colleagues.

The UK takes a different position. The official government statement indicated that it is too early to say when the pandemic can be called endemic, although there are signs of a decrease in the number of hospitalizations.
