People Should Avoid Travelling to Europe as Covid-19 cases are increasing over there
New Delhi: The people who are planning to travel to the European countries – should avoid their plan for the next few days of weeks – as covid-19 cases are steadily increasing in Austria, Germany, and other European countries.
According to a media report, Europe may become the epicenter again as cases are noticeably reported in all countries. Ahead of the Christmas celebrations, which will start kicking in next month and rising debate over the significance of vaccines to lower down Covid-19 impact, countries including the Netherlands, Germany, Austria, and the Czech Republic are taking or planning measures to curb the spread.
Europe accounts for more than half of the average 7-day infections across the globe and about half of the latest deaths, the highest levels since April last year when the virus was at its initial peak in Italy.
Austria’s government, earlier in the day, announced that unvaccinated people in two regions will only be able to leave home for specified reasons starting next week.
The World Health Organization (WHO) in its November 7 report mentioned that Europe, including Russia, was the only region to record a rise in cases, up 7 percent, while other areas reported declines or stable trends. Likewise, it reported a 10 percent increase in deaths, while other regions reported declines.
European countries such as The Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Russia have tightened restrictions to curb the spread.
