Europe is 'once again' the epicentre of the COVID-19 pandemic as the World Health Organisation warns new infections and deaths are of 'grave concern' as the Delta variant spreads across the continent.

WHO Europe’s head, Hans Kluge, warned the current rate of spread across 53 European countries was of “grave concern” as COVID-19 cases again approached “record levels”.

Insufficient COVID-19 vaccination rates and the relaxation of public health measures are being blamed for the rise in cases. An alarming resurgence of COVID-19 cases across Europe means the continent has again become the epicentre of the pandemic. Picture: Chesnot/Getty Images “Preventive measures, when applied correctly and consistently, allow us to go on with our lives, not the opposite. Preventive measures do not deprive people of their freedom, they ensure it. In other words, the best way to avoid lockdowns – which are an absolute last resort – is to apply such measures and keep COVID-19 transmission low.”Mr Kluge also informed the press that Europe was"once again" the epicentre of the COVID-19 pandemic with trends developing across all age groups.

Just read the article. Not sure it is accurate. Has Hans Kluge or Sky News been incompetent. The article stated that Europe accounted for 59% of all cases and Central Asia accounted for 48%. That equal 107%, and we know there were cases in AUS that must be -ve 7%.

That's interesting, when a lot of virologists are saying that variants are made up rubbish...WHO has lot there credibility long ago..

I think you will find that this once again is media spin.The increase in serious cases is amongst the unvaccinated.The media like to scare - it sells newspapers and the UN (WHO) want to rule the world. Just get vaccinated and enjoy your life.The pandemic will pass, they always do

Because we can all trust the WHO!

So it's working then?

Oh the WHO can suck my who who
