🎥🔴 Watch LIVE as @hans_kluge and experts from WHO/Europe provide a situation update on #COVID19 in the European Region before answering questions from journalists. pscp.tv/w/cw9UeTFwempN…
Good morning, last week, new cases of #COVID19 in Europe rose 9% to just above one million. This brought a promising six week decline in new cases to an end, with more than half of our region seeing increasing numbers of new infections @hans_kluge
We are seeing a resurgence in central and Eastern Europe. New cases are also on the rise in several western European countries where rates were already high @hans_kluge

Even though we’re still seeing more than one million cases reported every week across the European Region, the overall case incidence of #COVID19 has been declining for four consecutive weeks, and for two weeks in a row, the number of new deaths has decreased. @hans_kluge
Whilst this is good news, the decline in cases conceals increasing numbers of outbreaks and community spread involving variants of concern, meaning that we need to watch overall trends in transmission carefully and avoid rash decisions. @hans_kluge

First and foremost, wishing you a happy and healthy new year for 2021. We were prepared for a challenging start to 2021 and it has been just that. @hans_kluge
One year on from @WHO’s first news report about this virus, we have new tools at our disposal and considerably more knowledge, but we remain in the grip of #COVID19, as cases surge across Europe and we tackle new challenges brought by the mutating virus. @hans_kluge

We have a very serious situation unfolding before us. Weekly cases have now exceeded those reported when the pandemic first peaked in Europe in March. Last week, the region’s weekly tally exceeded 300,000 patients. @hans_kluge
More than half of European countries have reported a greater than 10 per cent increase in cases in the past two weeks. Of those, seven countries have seen newly reported cases increase more than two-fold in the same period. @hans_kluge
