Europe's Corona19 spread has not diminished. In France, where the cumulative number of confirmed patients has increased by nearly 60,000, the entrance exam, equivalent to the Korean national university entrance exam, was canceled. Italy and Spain now have a population of 120,000. The World Health Organization called for “a situation beyond the health crisis” and actively requested responses from each country.

The spread of corona in Europe is seldom diminished.

Italy's cumulative number of confirmed cases was 119,000, and the cumulative number of deaths was 14,000.

In Spain, the number of confirmed cases was 117,000 and the number of deaths was 1,900 respectively.

WHO, the World Health Organization, said that the situation is more than a “health crisis,” and emphasized that countries should actively respond to free tests and treatment.

[Governor Yeosu / WHO Secretary-General: All countries must remove financial barriers to treatment. If people delay or give up treatment because they cannot afford it, they not only harm themselves, but also make the pandemic more difficult to control, putting society at risk.]

The WHO warned, however, that withdrawal of the restrictions promptly could lead to more serious economic damage from virus re-proliferation.
