"Europe has once again become the'epicenter' of the new crown epidemic!" The WHO Regional Office for Europe warned, and said, "The spread of the epidemic in 53 countries in the European region is rapidly increasing. The situation is difficult to control, worrying, or facing 'Destructive Winter'."

u3000u3000If the spread of the epidemic has not slowed down, according to the current situation, as of February 2022, there will be 500,000 deaths due to the new crown epidemic in the European region. This is not alarmist. If the European epidemic is not controlled in time, the consequences will be disastrous.

u3000u3000 Marco Cavaleri, vaccine manager of the European Medicines Agency, said at a press conference that the number of cases and deaths in Europe has increased at the same time as the number of intensive care units in the past few weeks.

u3000u3000 According to data released by the World Health Organization recently, there were approximately 3.1 million new confirmed cases of new crown in the world in the past week, an increase of approximately 1% over the previous week.

u3000u3000 Among them, Europe added about 1.9 million new cases a week, accounting for nearly two-thirds, an increase of 7% over the previous week, and death cases increased by 10%, making it the only region in the world where both confirmed and fatal cases increased.

u3000u3000 Nearly 40,000 new cases in a single day in Germany

u3000u3000 Among them, the German epidemic situation is the most severe. According to data released by the Robert Koch Institute (RKI), the German Federal Agency for Disease Control and Prevention, on November 10, nearly 40,000 new cases were added in a single day in Germany, the highest record since the outbreak of the new crown, with 236 new deaths.

u3000u3000 As of now, Germany has confirmed nearly 4.9 million diagnoses and nearly 100,000 deaths. There are as many as 232.1 new confirmed cases per 100,000 people in Germany in 7 days.

u3000u3000 The incidence rate is higher than the highest record of 197.6 set on December 22, 2020. At that time, Germany had not yet been widely vaccinated against the new crown. Two weeks ago, the incidence of new crowns in Germany was only 95.1.

u3000u3000 It is reported that the most severely affected areas are Saxony, Thuringia and Bavaria in central-eastern Germany.

u3000u3000 Currently, 67% of the population in Germany has been fully vaccinated. The vaccine has effectively reduced the number of severely ill hospitalized patients. The current hospitalization rate per 100,000 people is 4, lower than the 15 in December 2020.

u3000u3000 Hans Peter, president of the German Teachers Association, said that the infection rate of children and young people is particularly worrying, and that the epidemic is very likely to get out of control in schools.

u3000u3000France may have entered the fifth wave of epidemic

u3000u3000 French government spokesman Attar confirmed the deterioration of the new crown epidemic when reporting the situation in France on the same day. In response to the current epidemic situation, the government will strengthen inspections of health passes.

u3000u3000 11,883 new confirmed cases in a single day in France on the 10th, which exceeded 10,000 for two consecutive days; the average number of new confirmed cases in a single day increased to 9,030, an increase of 56% within a week; the total number of confirmed cases was 7,244,040.

u3000u3000 At present, the cumulative number of deaths in France is 118,056, the number of inpatients with the new crown is now 6,906, and the number of severely ill patients is 1,154.

u3000u3000 French Minister of Health Weiland said in an interview that France is likely to have entered the fifth wave of the epidemic, and the current epidemic is worsening, and the new crown infection rate and hospital admission rate are rising. Wayland said that it will take two weeks to clarify whether France has fully entered the fifth wave of the new crown epidemic.

u3000u3000 Wayland emphasized that vaccination made this year’s epidemic different from last year’s first wave. At present, 76.3% of people in France have received the first shot of the new crown vaccine, and 74.7% have received two shots of the vaccine.

u3000u3000 In this regard, French President Macron recently issued a national television speech, calling on the French people to maintain a high degree of vigilance against the epidemic and continue to accelerate the process of new crown vaccination.

u3000u3000 New crown cases in many European countries hit a new high

u3000u3000 In addition to Germany and France, Austria, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary and many other European countries reported on the 10th the number of new crown cases reported broke or approached the highest national record. According to WHO statistics, the number of new crown cases in Europe has increased for 6 consecutive weeks.

u3000u3000 The number of confirmed cases in Austria in a single day exceeded 10,000 for the first time, with 11,400 new cases.

u3000u3000 Hungary notified 8,434 newly confirmed cases in a single day, double the number a week ago and reaching the highest level since the beginning of April.

u3000u3000 The number of new confirmed cases in the Czech Republic reached 14,539 in a single day, an increase of about 4,500 from a week ago, the highest since mid-March; the 7-day COVID-19 infection rate reached 558 new cases per 100,000 people. The highest record of new cases in a single day in the Czech Republic was 17,776 reported on January 7.

u3000u3000 Slovakia notified 7055 new confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia, which once again hit a record high in a single day.

u3000u3000 Less than two months after the removal of all new crown restrictions, the number of infections in Denmark has skyrocketed. There are more than 2,000 new infections every day. The epidemic is raging and the epidemic prevention measures have to be restarted.

u3000u3000According to the local newspaper on the 10th, most members of the Danish Parliament’s Epidemic Committee supported the government’s position and re-introduced the “new crown passport” from November 12. At the same time, this "new crown passport" also lowered the age limit from 16 to over 15 years old.
