O B SH: Next crucial week for Europe

Europe has reached nearly a million people affected by coronarys and must take extremely cautious action when countries consider easing the measures, the World Health Organisation's regional director has warned on Thursday.

The number of cases in the region continues to rise. In the last ten days, the number of cases of the infected in Europe has almost doubled, to approach one million people”, the director of the O BSH for Europe, Hans Kluj, reports “Reuters”.

This means that nearly 50 percent of the world's cases are in Europe. More than 84 thousand people on this continent have died as a result of the virus.

The storm of pandemic still stands over Europe”, Cluj said.

As some countries have begun to think whether the measures should be eased and whether schools or jobs should start opening, he has said it is critical to understand the complexity and uncertainty of this transition.

World companies and politicians have been worried about the economic impact of long-term closures and some countries in Europe like Germany, Denmark, Spain and others have started to think about how to ease the measures.

“People are asking correctly: How much should we endure? How long? In response, we, governments and health authorities, have to come up with solutions to show when, under what conditions and how we can see the transition” safely, he has said.

According to him, any steps for reducing the measures should come after there is full security that the movements are controlled, the explosion is not possible, and that health systems have sufficient capacity to identify, test and isolate cases with Avid-19.

“Trust in the storm... If you cannot ensure that these criteria are in place before the easing of the measures. I recommend you reconsider”, he added.
