The organization also encouraged people to get vaccinated. WHO European Director Hans Kluge said the European region is once again the epicenter of the Covid-19 pandemic with nearly 60% of new Covid-19 cases worldwide. However, this has not yet had a major impact on the rise in deaths and serious illnesses.
Hans Kluge on the increase in morbidity
“In the second week of October, the European region accounted for nearly 60% of new covid cases in the world and 42% of all deaths recorded in the world. But this wave so far has not led to the number of deaths and severe cases experienced. previously, and the number of people admitted to intensive care units has only grown slightly, “says Klüge.
“We also haven’t experienced the devastating effects on the economy and socialization. But this is not the right time to relax.
In the last month we have seen an increasing number of patients with seasonal flu. This has led to an increase in the number of hospitalized patients with severe acute respiratory infections. With Covid-19 and seasonal flu in circulation, the health of the most vulnerable is at serious risk. Vaccination remains one of our most effective measures against influenza and Covid-19 “.
