LONDON – Despite all the demanding situations posed through the control of the spread of coronavirus, Europe’s initial strategy was simple: almost universal and strictly applied closures.
Despite everything, it worked. And in the two months since the peak countries opened, testing and tracking has largely managed to control new outbreaks. With fundamental regulations on masking and social estating, life was able to resume with an appearance of normality.
But in recent days, France, Germany and Italy have noticed their highest number of cases since the spring, and Spain is in the midst of a primary epidemic. Government and public aptitude officials warn that the continent is entering a new phase of the pandemic. .
There is no widespread chaos or a general sense of crisis in March and April, and recently detected infections, consistent with another 100,000 people across Europe, still account for only about one-fifth of the number in the United States last week, according to a New York Times. database.
But there is a growing fear that until the end of the summer season, the virus may locate a new location as other people move their lives to closed places and the fall flu season begins.
Countries employing a variety of methods, and with regulations suddenly replacing and guidance varying from country to country, it remains to be seen which tactics will prove applicable and effective.
The virus is also spreading in a very different landscape than what it discovered in the spring, with many urban centers still largely empty of workplace staff and an on-guard hearing.
Accumulation in cases in Europe, as in many other parts of the world, is driven by other young people. The proportion of other people over the age of 15 to 24 inflamed in Europe has increased from about 4. 5% to 15% in the last five years. months, according to the World Health Organization.
Dr Hans Kluge, his director for Europe, said Thursday that he was “very concerned” that other people under the age of 24 would be among the new cases.
