Europa teme segunda oleada de coronavirus

July 30, 2020 - Europa vive un aumento de casos de coronavirus y la renovación de medidas de confinamiento, mientras la Organización Mundial de la Salud advierte que los jóvenes podrían estar impulsando los picos en las infecciones en todo el continente.

Dr Hans Kluge, WHO’s regional director for Europe, said that “we see from reports both nationally and sub-nationally that now the spike in cases in quite a number of countries is primarily in age cohorts between 20 and 39”.

In several countries, including France and Germany, health experts have said that more young people are testing positive for the virus. Officials said that young people have been social distancing less often and have more contacts.

Several countries in Europe have tightened restrictions once again amid fears that a second wave of Covid-19 is approaching.

Germany’s public health agency, the Robert Koch Institute, said Wednesday it was very concerned about rising cases of coronavirus in the country. It has already introduced tests for travellers returning from high-risk areas.

Belgium has reimposed stricter social distancing rules after a spike in infections, while France had consecutive days with more than 1,000 new cases.

Spain, meanwhile, has seen a rise in cases in Catalonia, prompting the region to go into lockdown.
