The World Health Organization's chief scientist, Soumya Swaminathan, said on Friday that the world was not yet at the end of the Covid-19 pandemic as there would be more coronavirus variants.

She said the world has seen the virus evolve and mutate. "So we know there will be more variants, more variants of concern, so we are not at the end of the pandemic," Swaminathan was quoted as saying by Reuters.
