Aside from closed closings and curfews, the Corona infection situation in Europe is still not under control. The number of patients infected with the epidemic is constantly increasing in different countries of the region. At the same time, the number of deaths due to Kovid-19 is increasing at a proportional rate.
On January 31, crown was found on the bodies of two Chinese tourists in Rome, Italy. Although according to many, the first patient with a crown was identified in Europe on January 21; In a place called Bordeaux in France. Outbreaks of the deadly coronavirus spread to almost all European countries in a month and a half.
Russia, the United Kingdom, Italy, Spain and France; The coronavirus infection and at the same time the death rate in these five European countries was much higher than in other European countries. And Belgium was at the top considering the death rate per lakh. British Prime Minister Boris Johnson did not escape the coronation.
Almost all countries in Europe, except Sweden, are blocked to prevent upstream transmission. In mid-May, the number of patients in different countries began to decrease. Little by little, all of Europe began to return to normal life. The period from March to June is known as the first corona wave in Europe.
However, from the last week of July to early August, the prevalence of the virus continues to increase in different countries in Europe. According to experts, this is the second wave of corona infection in Europe. Increased free movement of people is said to be the main cause of corona infection in Europe in the second phase, mainly after the relaxation of the blockade and at the same time the normalization of border connections with neighboring countries.
A survey of various media outlets, including the BBC, Deutsche Welle and STS, found that awareness of hygiene adherence and social distances among people in various European countries during the shutdown was less apparent after the shutdown. Furthermore, the increasing number of people visiting various tourist destinations, including beaches, during the summer holidays is also seen by many as another important reason for the increase in the second phase of corona infection in Europe.
However, many blame the Balkan countries for the increase in infections in the second phase. From ‘Eastern Thrace’ in western Turkey, Bulgaria, Greece, Macedonia, Albania, Serbia, Kosovo, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Hungary, and a small part of Romania are collectively referred to as the Balkans. The region is named after the local Balkan mountains.
The Balkans are very different from the way ordinary people define Europe. The Balkan countries are far behind economically and infrastructurally compared to other European countries. The level of corruption and crime is also high in these countries. Corona infections were slightly higher in all of these countries since last June, when corona infections fell significantly in Europe.
So when it was announced that border connections would be reestablished across Europe, the number of people infected with the coronavirus would continue to increase in many European countries as a result of the free movement of people from the Balkan countries, especially Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonia. and Croatia.
When the virus began to spread in the second phase in Slovenia, Austria, Switzerland, and even Germany, many of the Kovid-19 patients first identified in these countries were immigrants from countries such as Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonia, and Croatia.
Croatian seaside resorts are also favorites for summer vacations. So when many return from Croatia to their home countries after the holidays, the presence of Covid-19 is detected in the bodies of many of them.
Montenegro and Slovenia are the two most successful countries in the first phase of the Corona epidemic in Europe. On May 15, Slovenia became the first country in Europe to announce the end of the Crown. From March to mid-May, when the number of coronavirus patients in the country was just over 1,400, an average of 1,500 people are diagnosed with the virus every day.
On the other hand, on May 23, Montenegro became the first country in Europe to announce Corona’s victory. At that time, the number of newly infected or dead people in the country had dropped to zero. Almost everyone who was infected with the virus recovered. The country is now defenseless in the wake of the Second Corona Wave.
In this country of six lakh people, on average, more than 400 people are affected by the crown every day. Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia, Romania and Greece were quite successful in the first wave against Corona. ICUs and ventilators and even paracetamol are in crisis in many countries.
France is one of the most vulnerable countries in Europe to the second wave of coronavirus infections. On average, more than 30,000 people in the country are diagnosed with the Kovid-19 virus every day. On November 8, more than 60,000 patients were identified in a single day in the country.
In Italy, on November 17, 32,191 new cases of corona were detected in the country. Even in countries like Great Britain, Russia, Spain, the average number of people infected with corona every day is still fifteen to twenty thousand. Coronavirus infections are on the rise in almost all European countries, including Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Poland, the Czech Republic, Portugal, and Ukraine.
However, due to some measures taken by Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, Greece is still in a relatively advantageous position compared to other European countries. Even so, in the last 24 hours, 3,290 people have recently been infected with corona in the country and 60 people have lost their lives.
Based on sample tests, the average rate of corona infection in almost all European countries is around 25 percent. Some countries have adopted regional zoning plans to control the rising tide of infection. Areas with a relatively high infection rate are classified as red areas and those with a low infection rate are classified as green or orange areas.
The Yellow Zone is in the middle of the Red, Green or Orange Zone. Since European countries have not fully recovered from the economic catastrophe of the First Wave, most countries do not want to announce a new blockade with the economy in mind. Even now, most countries maintain border connections with neighboring countries; Flights are not completely prohibited.
People have also protested the closure in many places. While some European countries, such as Slovenia, have a complete lockdown, most countries have chosen a specific deadline to maintain the lockdown or curfew in order to control the epidemic.
In many European countries, masks have been banned in public places, from public transport to public gatherings. But none of the measures are working at the moment, but with the onset of winter, corona infection is increasing in different countries in Europe.
