he World Health Organisation reported Wednesday that coronavirus deaths rose by 10 per cent in Europe in the once week, making it the only world region where both Covid-19 cases and deaths are steadily adding. It was the sixth successive week that the contagion has risen across the mainland.

In its daily report on the epidemic, the UN health agency said there were about3.1 million new cases encyclopedically, about a 1 per cent increase from the former week. Nearly two-thirds of the coronavirus infections–1.9 million– were in Europe, where cases rose by 7 per cent.

The countries with the loftiest figures of new cases worldwide were the United States, Russia, Britain, Turkey and Germany. The number of daily Covid-19 deaths fell by about 4 per cent worldwide and declined in every region except Europe.

Out of the 61 countries WHO includes in its European region, which includes Russia and stretches to Central Asia, 42 per cent reported a jump in cases of at least 10 per cent in the last week.
In the Americas, WHO said that new daily cases fell by 5 per cent and deaths declined by 14 per cent, with the loftiest figures reported from the United States.

On Tuesday, pharmaceutical company Pfizer asked the US Food and Drug Administration to authorise supporter shots of coronavirus vaccines for all grown-ups. WHO has contended with countries not to administer further boosters until at least the end of the time; about 60 countries are laboriously rolling them out.

In Southeast Asia and Africa, Covid-19 deaths declined by about a third, despite the lack of vaccines in those regions.

WHO’s Europe director, Dr Hans Kluge, said last week that Europe was formerly again “ back at the epicentre of the epidemic.” He advised that if further conduct were not taken to stop Covid-19, the region could see another deaths by February.
