Covid deaths down 95 percent this year: WHO

The WHO says that Covid-19 deaths have dropped by 95 percent since the start of the year -- but warned the virus was still on the move. Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus says the WHO remains hopeful of declaring an end to Covid-19 as a public health emergency of international concern, with the committee that advises him on the status due to convene next month for its regular quarterly meeting.
