Coronavirus: ECDC, peak passed but pandemics not over

(ANSA) - BELGRADE, 12 GIU - The initial wave of transmission of Covid-19 "has passed its peak in all countries apart from Poland and Sweden," the European Centre for Diseases Prevention and Control (ECDC) said in an updated rapid risk assessment.

"The pandemic is not over, and hypothetical forecasting indicates a rise in cases is likely in the coming weeks," ECDC added.

"Just before the summer holiday period, as Member States relax limitations, there is a risk that people will not adhere firmly to the recommended measures still in place due to 'isolation fatigue'. Therefore, continuous efforts are needed to ensure that the remaining physical distancing and infection prevention control measures continue be observed to limit the spread of the disease," the assessment reads.
