Biden says 'pandemic is over' despite rising infections
Although there are problems with the corona situation, US President Joe Biden has commented that the 'pandemic is over'.

He made this comment in an interview, which was broadcast on Sunday (September 18). And on Monday (September 19) in a report, The Guardian reported this news.
In an interview with the American media CBS, Biden said, 'We still have a problem with the corona virus. We are still working on it a lot. But "the epidemic is over".
He further said, 'If you notice, no one is using masks now. As a result, everyone seems to be in pretty good shape. So I think the situation is changing.'
Earlier, World Health Organization (WHO) chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus indicated that the corona epidemic is 'coming to an end'. In a speech on September 14, he said, 'The world has now come to a relatively good position by fighting against the corona epidemic. The world has never been in a better position. We are seeing the end of the corona epidemic.' At the same time, he urged the member countries to continue the fight against the virus.
