Sumario:The World Health Organization is the global coordinating agency for the response to the COVID-19 pandemic. In March 2023, the WHO announced the end of the COVID-19 emergency phase. The end of the Public Health Emergency of International Concern does not mean that COVID-19 has ceased to be a health threat. The worldwide spread of the disease continues to be characterized as a pandemic. The significance of this decision is aimed at public health systems everywhere for countries to transition from emergency mode to management of COVID-19 along with other infectious diseases. The COVID-19 pandemic is not over. The population got tired of the virus, however, the virus did not get tired of the human population. Non-pharmacological preventive measures, vaccination and health education continue to be the arsenal we must control this disease today.
