The Telegraph (Nov. 19, 2020) ~ One Person Every 17 Seconds Dies From Covid-19 in Europe, WHO Warns
More.New coronavirus cases might have dipped across the region, but the fatality rate remains worryingly high
Europe is once again the epicentre of the Covid-19 pandemic, with one person dying from the disease every 17 seconds, the World Health Organization has warned.
Hans Kluge, the WHO’s regional director for Europe, delivered the sobering message at a briefing on Thursday.
“Europe accounts for 28 per cent of global cases, and 26 per cent of deaths cumulatively in the region,” he told the briefing.
“Last week, Europe registered over 29,000 new Covid-19 deaths. That is one person dying every 17 seconds.”
In the last week deaths jumped by 18 per cent, he said.
However, there are some promising signs that actions governments have taken to try stem the spread of the virus are working.
The number of weekly coronavirus cases in Europe went down last week for the first time in three months.
New weekly infections decreased by 10 per cent, to 1.8 million. Dr Kluge suggested that the strict lockdowns re-imposed in a number of European countries, including the UK, France and Spain, are having an effect.
