　　WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus also said at the United Nations COVID-19 summit that the progress of vaccine research and development has made people begin to see the “light at the end of the tunnel”. However, WHO’s concern is that more and more people think that “the epidemic” It has passed".

Tan Desai reiterated the importance of a fair distribution of vaccines around the world.
