The Covid-19 pandemic will end "when the world chooses to end it", because "all the tools" are now available to fight the virus, declares the head of the WHO, on October 24, 2021 in Berlin.

Tedros Ghebreyesus deplores that so far "the world has not used these tools wisely", he thus renews his calls for a more equitable distribution of vaccines.
