According to dailymail.co.uk she is officially stepping down from her duties on June 30, while in the relevant letter she sent, she did not explain the reasons she is leaving.
However, she said she had “mixed feelings” about her decision and said the nation was in a transitional moment and the state of emergency was ending.
Previously an infectious disease specialist at Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital, she had no experience running a government health agency when she was sworn in on the first day of the Biden administration.
Also, a little earlier the World Health Organization announced the end of the pandemic of the coronavirus, saying that Covid is now under sufficient control. This is an important step towards ending the pandemic that has killed more than 6.9 million people.
“It is with great hope that I declare that Covid-19 no longer constitutes an international health emergency,” said WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, estimating that the pandemic has led to “at least 20 million” deaths, a number of almost three times the official report of the Organization.
