The organization considers it sufficiently under control almost a year after the beginning of its outbreak. The announcement comes exactly one week after the lifting of the WHO's highest alert level for Covid.
So far, about 87,400 cases have been recorded in 111 countries and the disease has killed 140 people, according to the latest count, cited by the director-general. The disease is characterized by rashes, which can appear on the genitals or in the mouth, and can be accompanied by outbreaks of fevers, sore throat or pain in the lymph nodes.
