0:55Now PlayingThe head of the World Health Organization on Monday declared 2022 must be the year "we end" the coronavirus pandemic.
Speaking at a news conference in Geneva, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said it should also be the year "all countries invest in preventing a future disaster on this scale".
The WHO's director general affirmed the United Nations health body's commitment to "end the pandemic and to begin a new era in global health".
While Tedros has sounded a warning about the omicron variant of the virus and recommended cancelling events over the festive period, he appeared optimistic about tackling the pandemic in 2022.
"We know the virus better and we have better tools. It's a matter of implementing properly," he said.
