India Like Covid Storm Could 'Happen Anywhere': WHO Tells European Countries to Not Relax Measures

News 18  

The World Health Organization issued a stark warning to European nations Thursday, saying that relaxing Covid measures could spark a “perfect storm” allowing cases to spiral — as seen in India. “When personal protective measures are being relaxed, when there are mass gatherings, when there are more contagious variants and the vaccination coverage is still low this can create a perfect storm in any country,” Hans Kluge told reporters Thursday. Kluge said European nations must keep in mind that “individual and collective public health and social measures remain dominant factors in shaping the pandemic’s course”. He noted that while the number of new cases in the region fell “significantly” last week for the first time in two months, “infection rates across the region remain extremely high”.
