For the past few months, the rate of corona infection around the world has been decreasing. Many countries are completely free of covid and have returned to normal life. However, the rate of infection is increasing again in Europe for some time.

The World Health Organization (WHO) and the European Center for Disease Control and Prevention (ECDC) fear a new wave of Covid-19 as infections continue to rise across Europe. In a statement on Wednesday, ECDC said that although the number of corona infections is lower than a year ago, the epidemic is not over yet.
The WHO and ECDC point out that the number of people across Europe who have not been vaccinated against Covid-19 is still in the hundreds of thousands.
Public health experts warn that reluctance to vaccinate is causing infections to rise. Experts have urged authorities in European countries to start vaccination programs against flu and coronavirus before the start of the influenza season.
Meanwhile, in a joint statement, WHO and ECDC emphasized the importance of getting influenza and Covid vaccinations for people over 60, pregnant women and others at risk.
