Three WHO scenarios for how pandemic will evolve this year [View all]

The World Health Organization has laid out three possible paths that the Covid-19 pandemic might follow in 2022.

The WHO said the most likely way forward was that the severity of disease caused by the virus would wane over time, due to greater public immunity.

But the UN health agency also said a more dangerous variant of concern than Omicron could be lurking round the corner.
