The WHO chief has previously said the end of the pandemic is in sight.
In his statement Monday, Tedros said the world is in a far better place than it was a year ago when the omicron variant first swept the globe. The WHO has estimated that at least 90% of the world's population has some level of immunity to Covid due to vaccination or infection.
Tedros on Friday said surveillance and genetic sequencing has declined dramatically, making it difficult to track Covid variants and detect new ones. Too few older people are fully vaccinated and many people do not have access to antivirals, he said.
