– We see a second wave, says Swedish state epidemiologist Anders Tegnell according to Aftonbladet about the coronavirus.
According to Tegnell, the Netherlands, Germany, France, Spain and Denmark have the highest spread of the infection.
– There are many indications that it will be a record week internationally. There is no evidence that this calms down, he says.
It is heading into a dark autumn in Europe. Germany, the Czech Republic, Italy and Poland have recorded record levels of infections in the last 24 hours.
Tegnell believes that France, Spain and the Netherlands are experiencing a second wave.
Infection logs
The fact that infection registries are established in several European countries worries experts that the virus could spiral out of control in Europe.
Denmark reported 430 new cases of infection on Thursday, a day after 492 cases of infection were recorded.
On Wednesday, France announced that the national health crisis will be reintroduced as of Saturday due to rising infection rates. On Thursday, the country crossed the border for the first time in 30,000 new cases in one day.
British health authorities have reported 18,980 registered cases of infection and 138 deaths related to coronary heart disease in the last 24 hours. The high infection rates come at the same time that the British have introduced stringent new measures this week.
Extends indoors
The head of the European branch of the World Health Organization, Dr. Hans Kluge, says that European authorities must be uncompromising in complying with infection registries. He says the infection spreads mainly indoors and where infection control measures are not followed.
– The measurements will help us to get ahead of the curve and, of course, to flatten it. So it’s up to us to accept them while they’re still relatively easy to follow, Kluge says.
On Wednesday, Germany introduced new measures, such as increasing bandage requirements, closing hours for bars and reducing the number of people who can meet socially.
In Sweden, infection rates increased by 1,075 on Thursday and three new deaths were reported. The Swedish crown’s strategy received harsh criticism Thursday in a reading post by 80 researchers in the medical journal The Lancet. Researchers strongly caution against belief in herd immunity.
– The Swedish strategy has led to nothing but death and depravity. And this situation has not been honestly described to the Swedish population or to the rest of the world, writes researcher Zoë Hyde. Twitter.
