The European Commission has urged member nations to step up preparations against the new surge of coronavirus infections and recommended common measures to roll out vaccines should they become available, Reuters reported.
“Time is running out,” said EU Health Commissioner Stella Kyriakides, urging greater coordination in tracing infections.
“Everyone's first priority should be to do what it takes to avoid the devastating consequences of generalised lockdowns.”
With new cases hitting about 100,000 daily, Europe has by a wide margin overtaken the United States, where an average of more than 51,000 Covid-19 infections is reported every day.
