Europe now expects a longer wave without a big spike in the corona crisis. The European office of the World Health Organization (WHO) takes this on, as regional director Hans Kluge explained Thursday in an online statement in Copenhagen. He called for specific, regional and temporally limited measures to be taken to avoid “collateral damage” to health and society. “The pandemic will not stop by itself, but we can do it,” he said.
Local closings
Kluge stressed that local “closures” were still necessary. However, this had nothing to do with the total “closure” in March, which was imposed in many European countries, “because it surprised us,” said the European director of the WHO. “We must do everything in our power to keep the schools open.” In addition, it is necessary to maintain health care, especially in relation to cancer, preventive vaccines and cardiovascular diseases. Mental health was also highlighted by Kluge.
