‘Covid-19 will be there forever but Worst phase is over’: White House official

Washington: The worst phase of the Corona epidemic is now gone. However, “Covid-19 will always be there in some ways, but the worst of the pandemic is over,” Dr Ashish Jha, white house coronavirus response coordinator in the US, said today.

Jha said, “Given the high level of immunity in the population due to vaccination and past infection, even if we face the bad form of this epidemic, its worst phase has passed.”

It is important to take protection measures, Dr Ashish Jha said adding that, “Covid is not over and in some ways it will always be with us and we just have to continue to protect it”. Noting that more variants of the virus that beat immunity have emerged, he said, “But the good thing is that as the virus variant is changing, humans are also changing themselves.

We can reshape vaccines and are capable of doing things like that and we have also been able to live with the virus. We don’t find ourselves helpless in dealing with it.”
