It's possible the pandemic could end, but the world could still see additional COVID-19 cases.
The entire world is eagerly awaiting an end to the SARS-CoV-2 public health crisis—but the end of the pandemic won't necessarily mean an end to cases of COVID-19.
Given that a pandemic relies on the global spread of a virus, it's possible it could end but there would still be additional new cases of COVID-19. In one scenario, COVID-19 could be brought under control in a localized area, but not another, making it an epidemic instead of a pandemic. If this happens, the WHO stressed a need to remain vigilant about keeping the virus under control as it's very transmissible and could have"recurrent pandemic potential.
Even after the end of the COVID-19 pandemic, the world may see additional cases of COVID-19.

Surgeon General Vivek Murthy recently told Politico that America's success with regards to the pandemic shouldn't be measured in terms of"no cases." Instead, it should be looked at as having"very few people in the hospital and very few dying."
