WHO senior official: The second wave of the most deadly coronary than the first, the winter will appear

In an exclusive interview for the British media media, Dr Hans Kluge, director of the WHO European region, issued a stern warning to countries that start to ease their restrictions, saying it is now “koha for preparation, not”, broadcast news.

Dr Cluj stressed that since the number of cases of Covid-19 dropped cases in some European states does not imply that pandemic is in the end. The European outbreak is now in the east, with the number of growing cases in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus and Kazakhstan, he warned, writes The Telegraph.

Countries should use this time wisely and start strengthening public health systems, as well as building skills in hospitals, primary care and intensive care units, he said.

“Singapor and Japan realized that early this is no time to celebrate, it is time for preparation. That's what Scandinavian countries are doing. They don't rule out a second wave, but they hope the virus is located and they can throw it as quickly as possible”, Dr Cluj said.

He also warned that a second wave could coincide with an explosion of other infectious diseases.

Many experts, including England's leading medical chief, Professor Chris Whitty, have warned that a second wave of pandemic can be even more deadly than the first, displaying the Spanish flu pandemic of 1918-20.

“We know from history that over the pandemic countries that were not hit early could be hit in a second wave,” said Dr Cluj. “What will we see in Africa and Eastern Europe? They're near the curve some places are saying:” We're not like Italy “and then, two weeks later, boom! They might unfortunately get hit by a second wave, so we have to be very careful”.

In the past two weeks, many European countries have begun unblocking their economies and allowing a resumption of normal life.
