Figures for insects

More than three years ago, local time on 30 January 2020, WHO announced that the new coronary epidemic constituted “an emergency public health event of international concern”, the highest level of early warning that WHO could issue under the International Health Regulations.

In the early hours of 6 May 2023, the Director of the Infection Section at the Wa hill Hospital, affiliated to the University of Jordan, wrote “The virus is still in existence and the pandemic has passed”. In his humble spirit: “We leave the way for the moment to move to normal working life, whether it is difficult or easy to live, and we will see the future we look forward to if we do not drop out.”

Why is this decision now announced by WHO? What does this decision mean for the world and China? Has the new coronary epidemic been a past? What should be done next? On 6 May, infrared journalists interviewed a number of experts who wanted to answer the “preliminary past” how to embrace normal life.

Why is this?

Experts: morbidity, severity and mortality rates are decreasing

Over the past several months, WHO has discussed whether the new coronary epidemic continues to constitute “an emergency public health event of international concern”. At the end of last year, the Director-General of WHO, Ms. Daes, expressed the hope that some time this year would be able to declare that the new crown would no longer be a global public health emergency.

According to the International Health Regulations, there are three criteria for “emergency public health events of international concern”, the first is unusual, the second is that international transmission of diseases poses a public health risk to other countries, and the third is that a coordinated international response may be required.

WHO has announced seven public health emergencies of international concern: the new coronary epidemic, the Congo Ebola epidemic, the epicentre of the epidemic, the Ebola epidemic in West Africa, the polio epidemic, the H1N1 influenza pandemic and the epidemiology.

The above decision of WHO was taken following acceptance of the recommendation of the meeting of the Emergency Committee on International Health Regulations of 4 May. The Emergency Committee stresses that new coronary hospitalizations, severe illness and death figures are currently declining, while population immunization is high. While there is some uncertainty about the evolution of the new coroner virus, the Emergency Committee recommends that the transition be made to “long-term management of the new coroner pandemic”.

Data published by WHO show that, as at 2 May this year, at 2331 hours, a total of 687 million new coronal infections, of which 659 million people were rehabilitated and 6867,000 were killed.

“Thus three years later, the new coroner’s variant has changed, without too much room for variability, and has remained relatively stable in the last half of the year, which is different from the new variants that have occurred every two or three months before, and the new coroner virus is now at the end of force.” • The President of the Third People’s Hospital and the first team of public health experts in the deep-rooted city, Luun, were interviewed by Red Star journalists.

Professor Mohammed, School of Public Health, University of Yemen, said that the global incidence of epidemics had been declining, which had become more apparent at the end of the previous year, but had not been announced at that time that it might be possible to take into account the inadequacy of vaccination rates in some developing countries and the sustainability of funding for developing countries by the sponsors of immunization. Over a few months now, new coronary morbidity, serious illness and mortality rates are declining, and WHO considers that the new coronary epidemic is no longer a global threat.

He stated that the new coronary epidemic was no longer a public health emergency of international concern, but that it could not be said that the new coronary epidemic was in the past. Although the incidence of new coronary viruses has not increased, the new coronal virus is still changing.

The team leader of the National Health Commission’s Leading Group on Response to the Epidemic, who was also interviewed by the New China Society, said that a more balanced state of human resistance and virus had been achieved. The end of the “emergency public health event of international concern” does not mean that the epidemic is totally unharmed, but rather indicates that it can be effectively controlled by human capacity at present.

What impact?

Return to normal business activities and tourism

What is the global implications of the above-mentioned decision of WHO? What are the implications for my country, which is currently in the control of the epidemic, into the “Category Bet” regularization control phase?

When interviewed in the past year, the new coronary epidemic no longer constitutes “an emergency public health event of international concern”, and restrictions on transnational transport, trade, travel, etc. will be further reduced.

The Chinese press said that the new coronary epidemic was not just a global health problem, but also had a significant impact on all aspects of the global economy, society and human psychology. Following the announcement of this decision by WHO, in addition to the maintenance of disease surveillance by specialized health-care institutions, productive life, such as commercial activities and tourism, has returned to normality, and people have “the drying up”.

In the autumn, Professor of Virus, Department of Medicine of the University of China, also told red-star journalists that, as an authoritative body at the world level, the decision of WHO had psychologically informed peoples that there was no need for fear of the disease, as in the past. The new coronary epidemic is no longer a global problem, turning to a geographical problem.

“There is no possibility of dying after the virus, and there is no worldwide vaccine to control respiratory infections. We should coexist with the virus with a common mentality, with new corons as common diseases. Our country is already implementing the scientific management of the new coroner, “Case Bet’s” (Yan fall).

Are there any concerns about “second wave”?

Less likely, even reinfection symptoms,

“The sudden public health incidents of international concern” have come to an end, but will there be no “second wave” in the country? Experts interviewed indicated that the possibility was currently low.

We are of the view that, after the peak of infection last year until the beginning of this year, my country has become a strong group of immunizations, together with vaccinations, and that there is still a national immunization force. “I feel, therefore, that there may be a small epidemic among high-risk populations that are uninfected and inexpensive, and generally not serious, but that there will not be a “second wave” epidemic in the near future.”

The same view was shared in Luun. He indicated that there was a continuing presence.
