COVID-19 cases in Europe up again after 10 weeks of decline: WHO Europe

NNA - 

The World Health Organization (WHO) on Thursday (Jul 1) said COVID-19 cases were on the rise again in Europe after two months of decline and warned a new wave would come "unless we remain disciplined".

"Last week, the number of cases rose by 10 per cent, driven by increased mixing, travel, gatherings and easing of social restrictions," WHO's regional director for Europe Hans Kluge told a press conference.
