The World Health Organization (WHO) chief scientist Somya Swaminathan said on Friday that the world has not yet seen the end of the COVID-19 pandemic, as more mutated strains of the coronavirus are expected to emerge.
“We’ve seen the virus evolve and mutate… so we know there will be more mutated strains, interesting mutated strains, so we are not at the end of the pandemic,” Swaminathan told reporters in South Africa.
Swaminathan was visiting vaccine manufacturing facilities in South Africa with WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.
