O B S: crucial measures “obsolutely needed” to save lives

The crucial measures are the necessary “to save lives”, warns the World Health Organisation (OBSH) as Europe faces the second wave of the-19vida epidemic.

Coronavirus is the fifth leading cause of death in Europe, where he takes more than 1,000 lives a day, O director said. BSH in Europe Hans Kluj at a press conference Thursday.

It's time to step up the effort. The message to governments is: Do not hesitate to take softer measures to prevent the adoption of painful and harmful measures as we saw in the first wave,” he said.

The declaration comes at a time when millions of people in European capitals and other cities must live under new austerity measures.

But the situation is not as bad as it was in March and April, O adds BSH.

The number of deaths now five times lower than in March and April, when the first wave hit the continent”, Cluj said.

One reason for increasing the number of infected in recent weeks is that more young people are tested positively for the virus, he said, adding that the death rate is lower as fewer young people die from COVID-19 than the elderly.

The situation in Europe is becoming disturbing, but EU countries have agreed at least to a joint system “sephorus” that tells them whether passengers come from safe or dangerous regions.
