The WHO is concerned about the increase in the incidence of COVID-19 in Europe. WHO European Director Dr. Hans Kluge warned that another 500,000 deaths could be recorded by March if urgent action is not taken.

Dr. Kluge noted that increasing the number of wearing masks should help significantly.
The announcement comes amid reports that several European countries are reporting record high levels of infection and are introducing a full or partial lockdown.
Dr. Kluge said factors such as the winter season, inadequate vaccination coverage and the prevalence of the more contagious Delta strain also affect the spread of the disease.
He called for more vaccinations and the implementation of basic public health measures and new treatments to help counter the spread of the coronavirus.
