In Europe, the number of COVID-19 cases has decreased, which has affected the overall incidence statistics. However, the World Health Organization warned that the decline in the spread of the disease may be short-lived, as new cases continue to rise in most other regions of the world, as well as the rise in deaths.

Last week, for the first time since the beginning of September, there was a global decrease in the number of coronavirus infections in the world. This was stated by the Director General of the World Health Organization, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, notes WHO on Twitter.

“Last week, the number of newly diagnosed cases worldwide fell for the first time since September, reflecting a decline in the number of cases in Europe thanks to the effectiveness of the complex but necessary measures introduced in recent weeks.” , said.



However, in WHO warnedthat the decline in the spread of the disease may be short-lived, as there was still an increase in COVID-19 cases in most other regions of the world, as well as an increase in mortality.



An outbreak of coronavirus infection began in late 2019 in China. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the spread of the coronavirus a pandemic.
