The Minister of Health and Social Services Dr. Kalumbi Shangula says, although the World Health Organisation has declared the end of the COVID-19 pandemic as a global health emergency, and Namibia has seen a decline in the positive rate, the country will not ignore its existence.

More than 775 million people were affected, while close to 7 million people died from the pandemic globally. 

Namibia had its fair share of infections and fatalities.
