According to the WHO, the total number of infected people per day in Russia and Europe exceeded 120,000 for the first time on the 9th and 10th of this month, and each country is tightening regulations one after another.
"I am very concerned about the worsening infection situation in Europe. The number of infected people and the number of hospitalized people are increasing every day," said Kruge, the secretary general of the WHO European Regional Secretariat, at a press conference on the 15th. "It's time to take additional regulatory measures," he said, praising each country's introduction of new regulations.
According to the WHO, the number of newly confirmed cases in Russia and Europe has doubled to tripled compared to April, but the number of deaths is less than one-fifth. The background is that the number of tests has increased and the oxygen inhalation system has been put in place.
