Top German virologist says COVID-19 pandemic is over

Professor of virology at Berlin’s Charite hospital Christian Drosten told the daily Tagesspiegel's edition that the COVID-19 pandemic is over.

“We are experiencing the first endemic wave with SARS-COV 2 this winter; my assessment is that, with this, the pandemic is over,” he was quoted as saying.

He added that the only reservation about that would be a major new mutation, “but I don't expect that anymore at the moment either.”
