The WHO has warned that coronavirus cases are surging alarmingly in Europe, as a “very serious situation” unfolds across the continent, CNN reports.
“As Covid-19 infections spike to record numbers, European governments are imposing strict local measures and weighing up further lockdowns in a bid to halt a second wave of the pandemic.”
But WHO regional director Hans Kluge said that the increase in cases should serve as a warning of what is to come: “Weekly cases have now exceeded those reported when the pandemic first peaked in Europe in March. Last week, the region’s weekly tally exceeded 300,000 patients.”
