One person dies from the coronavirus every 17 seconds in Europe, said the regional head of the World Health Organization, as the pandemic continues to threaten national health systems on the continent.
Dr. Hans Kluge said the 53 countries that make up the WHO European region have registered more than 15.7 million cases of Covid-19 - including 4 million this month alone - and nearly 355,000 deaths.
"As a result, we are seeing growing signals about overloaded health systems," he said.
