WHO to decide if COVID remains an emergency. What will this mean for Canada?
“As long as the label isn’t ‘COVID is gone,’” he said.
However, changing the definition could have implications for some countries, Conway said, as it may have been the tool that unlocked allocation of resources and compelled measures to protect the public from COVID. “I think we still face issues of vaccine inequity and whatever the World Health Organization says, that will be part of their message — that we really need to continue to vaccinate the world to prevent the emergence of the next variants. That may be a game changer.”Regardless of what the WHO decides, Canadians should be aware that there is no “off-ramp” for COVID yet, as the virus continues to circulate, mutate and infect people in Canada — and will for some time, Conway said.
