Covid deaths down 95%: WHO

THE WHO said Wednesday (Thursday in Manila) that Covid-19 deaths had dropped by 95 percent since the start of the year — but warned the virus was still on the move.

The World Health Organization said Covid-19 was here to stay and countries would have to learn how to manage its ongoing nonemergency effects, including post-Covid-19 condition, or long Covid.
