Europe faced with dilemma between reopening and COVID-19 resurgence
Change language:
NEW NORMALITY
Yet the WHO official saw a light of hope in the messages he received from health ministers in Europe that more and more people have become socially responsible and adhered to physical distancing and wearing facial masks.
Two months after France’s gradual exit from the COVID-19 lockdown, the circulation of the virus is now “under control” in the country despite the recent identification of more than 200 new infections, Health Minister Olivier Veran said Thursday.
He noted the French government is doing everything to avoid a resurgence of the epidemic” and has asked companies to provide stock of masks that can support ten weeks’ use in face of a possible rebound.
Both Serbia and Montenegro have been handling a new peak of COVID-19 caseload with new measures including bans on gatherings and fines for people not wearing masks. Four Serbian cities and towns again declared emergency. Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic announced Thursday new measures for capital Belgrade, where more than 80 percent of new infections have been recorded recently.
Romania has to postpone further relaxation measures scheduled for Wednesday amid the recent rise of infections, Prime Minister Ludovic Orban said this week.
“It has become clear that in many places the rules are not followed, and there is an increased risk of transmitting the virus due to non-compliance with the rules,” he stressed.
When, for the sake of honesty, will news sources draw a distinction between the virus and the reaction *to* the virus ? It is the LOCKDOWNS that have savaged economies worldwide.
That aside, I do enjoy and appreciate this website!
