WHO DECLARES A 'CEASEFIRE' IN THE COVID PANDEMIC ACROOS EUROPE

  • 03/02/2022

According to the World Health Organization's (WHO) Europe director, the continent may soon enter a "long period of quiet" amid the Covid-19 pandemic. Dr. Hans Kluge noted high immunisation rates, the end of winter, and the Omicron variant's less severe character. "This period of increased protection should be viewed as a 'ceasefire' that could bring us lasting peace," he told reporters. It comes as a number of European countries lift the Covid-19 limitations. According to Dr. Kluge, 12 million new viral cases were reported across Europe last week, the greatest number ever recorded, yet officials have not witnessed a major increase in individuals requiring critical hospital treatment.
