The meaning of WHO saying the COVID emergency ahs ended

Fri, 2023-05-05 18:18 — mike kraft

WHO says COVID emergency is over. So what does that mean? The World Health Organization says COVID-19 is no longer a global emergency but the coronavirus is here to stay. The action Friday by the United Nations agency doesn’t mean much for the average person. The classification is meant to warn countries that there’s an “extraordinary” event that could pose a health threat and requires a coordinated response. Health officials say the virus isn’t going anywhere and advise people to get vaccinated, including getting booster doses if they qualify. WHO has previously declared global emergencies for outbreaks of swine flu, Zika, Ebola, polio and mpox, formerly called monkeypox.

Fri, 2023-05-05 11:35 — mike kraft

Public health leaders warn dwindling COVID data risks less preparation for 'the next outbreak' While COVID-19 ebbs -- and many of the pandemic-era policies on surveillance data and funding wind down with it -- the nation's public health leaders warned senators on Thursday that a return to "normal" should not mean forgetting the hard lessons learned over the last three years. When the federal government's public health emergency expires next week, COVID-19 data collection tools will also end.
