Governments in Europe are feeling the effects of a new wave of coronaviruses that could once again burden hospitals.
According to the British news agency Reuters, coronavirus cases are once again on the rise in countries that have curbed the spread of the virus through extraordinary lockdowns in March and April this year, and authorities from Poland to Portugal have put a strain on the health system. Expressing concerns about falling.
In Belgium, the health minister has called the new cases a "tsunami of infections" and suspended all medical services in the country, except for emergencies, to give priority to the treatment of people infected with corona.
According to Reuters, the situation in other European countries is similar to that in Belgium due to the rapidly increasing number of corona cases.
Julio Pascal, medical director of Barcelona's Dilmer Hospital in Barcelona, Spain, said that the rate at which new cases have been reported over the past week, if maintained, would require hospitals to suspend treatment for patients who are not urgent or priority. ۔
According to the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control, more than 5 million cases of the epidemic have been registered in Europe, while the death toll from the virus is more than 200,000.
According to the center's report last week, new cases of the virus are on the rise in 20 countries and the number of corona patients in hospitals is rising again.
According to Reuters, the situation is even more complicated because the lockout cannot be carried out as before to prevent the spread of the virus and the burden on hospitals, which is not supported by the general public due to its economic impact.
Governments that have not stopped doing business are now taking steps to reduce crowds in public places to strike a balance between preventing the spread of the virus and keeping the economy afloat.
