lowest level since March 2020.
世界衛生組織公布全球因新冠病毒死亡人數是自2020年3月以來最低，宣布新型冠狀病毒肺炎的大流行疫情結束「在望」。

people died from Covid-19.
然而，世衛提醒，新冠病毒仍造成「全球緊急狀態的急性階段」，並強調在2022年前8個月內，有超過100萬人死於此病毒。
The director
general of the international health body, Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, told a
press conference: “We have never been in a better position to end the pandemic
– we are not there yet, but the end is in sight."
這個國際衛生組織的秘書長譚德塞在記者會上說，「現在是這場大流行疫情最有可能結束的時候，我們還沒達到那一步，但是結束在望」。
“A marathon
runner does not stop when the finish line comes into view, she runs harder,
