Sandra Ciesek, head of virology at the Frankfurt Nniversity Hospital, has warned that southern European countries, such as Spain and Italy, could register a

rise in the Covid incidence rate

high percentage of its population vaccinated

, coinciding with the drop in temperatures

"There may be climbs

if it is much colder there

. You have to stay vigilant," says Ciesek in a Ndr podcast.

Spain, Malta and Italy have still enjoyed mild weather.

He gives as an example, the

worrying situation that Belgium is going through

, badly in northern Europe, which, with a

vaccination rate higher than 74%

, has an

incidence of about 280 cases

per 100,000 inhabitants.

In fact, Belgium, which is already administering a

third booster dose to its health workers

, in addition to the fact that boosters have already begun to those over 65 and individuals with reduced immunity.

lowest incidence rate

(49.86 cases of Covid-19 per 100,000 inhabitants) although it is adding slight increases, with 0.24 points more in one day.

Malta ranks first in this ranking, according to data from the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), followed by Italy, with an incidence rate of 59.27.
