WHO alerts of 700,000 deaths from coronavirus in Europe between now and March

Around 700,000 people could die between now and March from coronavirus covid-19 on Europe if the current contagion trend continues, the regional office of the World Health Organization (WHO) warned on Tuesday.

The forecasts of the WHO point out that 25 countries in the European region – which includes 53 from this continent and Central Asia – risk suffering from a lack of hospital beds and that 49 would reach a situation of high or extreme stress in ICUs between now and March.

“To live with this virus and go about our daily lives we need an approach that goes beyond the vaccine. That means receiving standard doses and a booster dose if offered, but also incorporating preventive measures into our routines “WHO-Europe director Hans Kluge said in a statement.
