COVID-19: WHO says Europe becomes the epicenter of Coronavirus

New Delhi: Corona has once again become the epicenter of the pandemic in Europe. The WHO has warned that European countries have reported the highest number of cases in a week for the first time since the start of the corona pandemic last week. During this, about 20 lakh cases were reported and about 27 thousand people also died. Corona cases are increasing again in China and America too.

Corona Pandemic

WHO Director-General Tedros Ghebreyesus has said that the recent death of 27 thousand people due to corona virus in Europe is a big matter. This is more than half of all covid-19 deaths in the world in the past week.

He said, COVID-19 cases are increasing not only in countries with low vaccination rates in Eastern Europe, but also in countries with some of the highest vaccination rates in the world in Western Europe.

According to the WHO's weekly report, the European region recorded 19,49,419 new cases from 1 to 7 November, a 10 percent increase in the new week. On the other hand, the epidemic continues to spread in China as well. The infection has spread here in 21 provinces. The situation in Russia and Canada is also very bad. In the US, close to 2,000 deaths have occurred in the last one week from Corona.

What is happening in Europe is 'a warning to the world'

Michael Ryan, executive director of the WHO's health emergencies programme, said a major reason for the rise in cases in Europe is also the fall in temperature. Ryan said, despite the availability of vaccines, what is happening in Europe is 'a warning to the world'.

He said, 'I think every country needs to look at their epidemiology now, protect their health workers or their health system and make sure that it doesn't get worse again in the next few months without the system. Lets do it.'
