Yesterday, the #COVID19 Emergency Committee met for the 15th time and recommended to me that I declare an end to the public health emergency of international concern. I have accepted that advice.
With great hope I declare COVID-19 over as a global health emergency.
Happy #WorldHandHygieneDay2023! 👐🫧🧼
❓Did you know❓: Appropriate hand hygiene prevents up to 50% of avoidable infections acquired during health care delivery (WHO, 2021)
