WHO delivers Europe death warning as infections hit new high
Israel is among the countries battling a new spike, announcing a three-week lockdown from Friday when people will not be allowed more than 500 metres from their homes. “They didn’t stop the big gatherings in synagogues, the weddings and the other events, and now I can’t be with my children and grandchildren during the holidays?”
“COVID-19 has brought to light the weaknesses and strengths of European society. It has bluntly revealed the reality of our health systems.” WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus told the meeting by video-link: “We are by no means out of the woods.” On the other hand, millions of schoolchildren in other affected countries have returned to their classrooms for the first time in months.
While Europe battles with rising infections, other parts of the world are tentatively easing restrictions. The need for a vaccine was underlined by a study from the country’s Institute for Employment Studies showing how coronavirus may cost one million jobs in Britain this year.
