Europe in Most Acute Phase of COVID-19 Transmission, WHO Says

Lisa Schlein

   GENEVA - The World Health Organization warns the European region is
   probably in the most acute phase of COVID-19 transmission and drastic
   measures must be taken to control the spread of the pandemic.
   More than 26 million cases of COVID-19 have been confirmed in the
   European region, including over 580,000 deaths. The World Health
   Organization reports levels of transmission remain extremely high. As a
   consequence, it notes countries and territories across the region are
   enacting full lockdown measures, affecting more than 230 million
   people.
