WHO extremely concerned about increase in Covid-19 cases in Europe

Geneva, Nov 25 (UNI/Sputnik) World Health Organization's (WHO) Regional Office for Europe has expressed grave concerns about increase in the incidence of the Covid-19 disease in the region, a representative of the office told Sputnik.
"We are very concerned naturally. No country can afford to be complacent and several countries in the European Region are experiencing a surge in cases, hospitalization and deaths due to Covid-19. As a result, many health care systems are really starting to strain and it’s still only the start of the winter season," the office said.
The increase in Covid-19 infections in the region is due to the insufficient vaccination rates, the presence of the delta variant and adverse weather conditions, the WHO representative added in an interview with Sputnik.
