WHO Says Moldova Is Among the Countries with the Highest Covid-19 Transmission Rate

The World Health Organization has expressed concern about the accelerated transmission of coronavirus in Europe. WHO Regional Director for Europe, Dr. Hans Klüge, said that this surge was due to easing of quarantine restrictions. In particular, according to Kluge, in 11 European countries “the accelerated transmission has led to very significant resurgence that if left unchecked will push health systems to the brink once again”. Later, WHO stated that Ukraine, Moldova, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, as well as Sweden, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Northern Macedonia, Albania and Kosovo are among these countries, BBC reports. According to Kluge, there are already more than 2.5 million cases of Covid-19 in Europe, while about 20 thousand new cases are registered every day, more than 700 people die every day. In Russia, the number of new cases of Covid-19 continues to decline for the sixth day in a row.
