Health threats. The report pointed out that although many European countries began to detect mild and asymptomatic patients, the number of confirmed cases has also increased, but some countries' epidemic prevention measures such as relaxation of interpersonal distance did cause the epidemic to rebound.

It has continuously published risk assessment reports since the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia epidemic.

The European Centers for Disease Control and Prevention stated that from December 31, 2019 to August 2, 2020, 17,841,669 confirmed cases and 685,281 deaths have been reported globally. The EU/EEA countries and the United Kingdom reported a total of 1,733,550 confirmed cases and 182,639 deaths, accounting for 10% and 27% of the total number of confirmed cases and deaths in the world, respectively.
Mike Catchpole, the chief scientist of the European Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said on the same day that the number of reported cases throughout Europe this summer has fallen after an earlier peak, but has risen again recently. He said that although the increase in testing is related to some reported confirmed cases, the overall situation should still be monitored and evaluated.
Mike Ketchbo said that the European Centers for Disease Control and Prevention maintains its previous risk judgment, that is, “in countries where appropriate interpersonal distance and sanitation and disinfection measures have been implemented, and a sufficient number of close contact tracking and testing has been carried out, the epidemic has further deteriorated. The risk is'moderate'; and in countries that fail to implement or enforce the above measures, the risk is'very high'."
He also reminded that as the epidemic continues, people's compliance with public health measures may decline, which is worrying. To this end, countries should continue to transmit information to remind the public that the virus is still spreading in the community, and remind the daily measures that can be taken to reduce potential infection risks.
