80 million cases reported in the past 9 weeks.
The Covid emergency can come to an end this year, according to the World Health Organisation.
Almost 350 million cases have been reported over the past 24 months - with 80 million in the past nine weeks alone.
This Sunday marks two years since Covid was declared a global health emergency by the WHO.
Director-general, Tedros Ghebreyesus , says that can end this year - but Covid will still continue to circulate:
About three quarters of 5 to 11 year olds haven't been registered for a Covid vaccine.
Latest figures show 23 per cent of this age-group have been signed up by their parents or guardians.
The portal opened for these children early this month.
Newbridge GP Brendan O'Shea is urging more to register - to prevent 'chaos in schools'.
