The European Commission wants countries and citizens to wake up to the pandemics second wave \u2014 warning that otherwise, the EU will have to resort to strict lockdowns again.<\/p>\n

Coronavirus cases are spiking in many EU countries, with some posting rates even higher than in March.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt might be our last chance to prevent a repeat of last spring,\u201d warned Health Commissioner Stella Kyriakides in a press conference Thursday.<\/p>\n

Measures have neither been effective enough nor properly enforced, she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe must prevent a situation when governments feel they have no choice but to impose generalized lockdowns,\u201d Kyriakides said. \u201cThis will be detrimental to our mental health, detrimental to our economies, detrimental to the wellbeing and the education of our children, detrimental to our working and daily lives.\u201d<\/p>\n

Andrea Ammon, director of the EUs infectious disease agency, the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), presented the agencys latest risk assessment<\/a>, which described three different situations unfolding across Europe.<\/p>\n

The first are \u201cstable\u201d countries like Belgium<\/a>, which have low numbers of cases among elderly people, as well as a low incidence of severe disease and death. These countries are considered low risk, according to the ECDC.<\/p>\n

The second are \u201cconcerning\u201d countries like Luxembourg, which have increasing case numbers due to increased testing. Transmission is primarily among young people, and there is a low number of severe cases and deaths. These countries are at a moderate risk.
<\/strong><\/p>\n

The third are countries of \u201chigh\u201d concern like Spain, which see cases increasing for all groups. It also has a high proportion of hospitalized and severe cases, along with a rising death toll. The risk is considered elevated.
<\/strong><\/p>\n

Still, the risk for vulnerable populations in all these countries is \u201cvery high,\u201d Ammon added.<\/p>\n

The Commission is doing what it can, the health commissioner said, jointly procuring remdesivir<\/a> \u2014 a medicine authorized, along with dexamethasone<\/a>, to treat COVID-19 patients \u2014 and will procure more medicines. Its also publishing a \u201clessons learned\u201d package in November.<\/p>\n

Kyriakides also urged countries to \u201cmove ahead\u201d with harmonized travel rules \u201cto ensuRead More \u2013 Source<\/a>
