Several European countries, including Germany, France, Italy and Britain, lifted their COVID-19 curbs too 'brutally' and are now seeing a rise in cases likely due to the more transmissible BA.2 subvariant, the World Health Organization said Tuesday.

Tolga Akmen/ AFPSeveral European countries, including Germany, France, Italy and Britain, lifted their COVID-19 curbs too "brutally" and are now seeing a rise in cases likely due to the more transmissible BA.2 subvariant, the World Health Organization said Tuesday.
But in addition, "those countries are lifting the restrictions brutally from too much to too few," he said. That brings the number of cases since the start of the pandemic to almost 194.4 million and the number of deaths to more than 1.92 million."There is a very large capital of immunity...either thanks to the vaccination or due to the infection."
