Some European countries are reporting coronavirus spikes
The World Health Organization has warned that a “very serious situation” is unfolding in Europe, as "alarming rates of transmission "of the coronavirus surge across the continent.
Here's a look at some of the European countries reporting increases in coronavirus cases recently:
Portugal reported 770 new Covid-19 cases on Thursday, the highest daily increase since April 10. The country’s health authorities also reported 10 deaths, the highest single-day death toll from Covid-19 since July 9.
The number of people testing positive for Covid-19 in England has risen by 167% since the end of August, the national public health body reported today. Positive cases have been rising since the start of July and are now double the number recorded when the country's Test and Trace initiative launched on May 28.
On Saturday, France recorded more than 10,000 new cases of coronavirus for the first time since the start of the pandemic.
At least 1,210 Covid-19 cases were recorded in Italy on Sunday — the highest figure since May 12, according to government data. That spike came after 1,071 cases were recorded Saturday.
