Health: Few psychologists and many drugs: the drama of mental health in Spain
The European Region of the World Health Organization (WHO) has warned Spain that, like the rest of European countries, it is at risk of a rebound in cases of coronavirus infections, so it has asked that they be complied with with the measures agreed by the health authorities.
Thus, and after highlighting the "efforts" that Spain has made to reduce cases of contagion, the body has recalled that
more contagious
variants of the virus are circulating,
such as
the British one.
"Controlling these variants may be more challenging,
so all possible efforts must continue
, especially in the face of next Easter," they have said from the WHO European Region, to urge the population to continue complying with health measures that have proven to be effective in preventing infections.
And, as they have detailed, vaccination against Covid-19 is not yet being administered to the population groups that most favor coronavirus infections.
"Therefore, we must trust the public health measures
that we have since there is still the risk of an increase in infections and the burden of care," they have emphasized.
"Three weeks of transmission"
On the other hand, the regional director for Europe of the World Health Organization (WHO), Hans Kluge, has warned that European countries have
"three consecutive weeks"
experiencing increases in the transmission of Covid-19.
Specifically, as detailed, the current situation is more worrying in the European areas that controlled infections in the first six months of 2020. "It is in Central Europe, the Balkans and the Baltic States where the incidence of cases, hospitalizations
and deaths now have the highest rates in the world,
"he warned.
In this sense, Kluge has reported that last week
more than 1.2 million new coronavirus infections
were registered in Europe
, and that each week more than 20,000 people die as a result of Covid-19.
In fact, he has stressed that some 48 of the 53 European countries or territories have reported
a "worrying" increase in the British variant
, which is already becoming predominant in the European WHO region.
