Daily Covid infections have hit an all-time high in Germany as the World Health Organization warned that another 500,000 people could die across Europe, with cases once again on the rise.
Europe registered a 55% rise in Covid-19 cases in the last four weeks, despite the availability of vaccines, which should serve as a "warning shot" to other regions, according to officials from the WHO.
WHO emergency director Mike Ryan said that some European countries have "sub-optimal vaccination coverage" despite availability. "It's a warning shot for the world to see what is happening in Europe despite availability of vaccination," Dr Ryan told a news conference.
