Covid-19 infections, hospitalizations and deaths are falling rapidly across Europe, but the risk of rising infections in the fall remains high as states have eased anti-Covid measures and Delta 's most transmissible variant is advancing, the World Organization said. of Health (WHO).
Urging people and governments to be cautious over the summer, WHO Regional Director for Europe Hans Kluge said today (Thursday, June 10) that community broadcasting is still widespread and will continue as travel and social gatherings increase.
"We've been here before. Last summer, cases gradually increased to the younger age groups, then shifted to the older age groups, leading to a devastating loss of life in the fall and winter of 2020. Let’s not we make that mistake again. "
Kluge said a new WHO campaign, Summer Sense, would encourage people to "enjoy the summer, but safely." If you want to travel, think if necessary. If you decide to travel, travel "Safe." Governments should "use the good epidemiological situation to further increase testing, tracking, hospital capacity."
Despite the fact that Europe is pursuing a rapid vaccination process, vaccination is far from enough to protect the population from a Covid "revival".
