中文報道：世衛公告 2021 年 11 月 4 日

在過去的7天裏，世衛組織所有區域有56個國家報告的新增死亡病例數量增加了10%以上。
………

在今天發布的一份聲明中，世衛組織歐洲區域主任表示，目前世衛組織歐洲區域53個國家的疫情傳播速度“令人嚴重關切”。

克魯格（HansKluge）表示，病例再次接近創紀錄的水平，這主要是由於傳播性更強的德爾塔變體造成。

在過去的4周裏，非洲大陸的新病例增加了55%以上。上周，歐洲和中亞占全球所有新增病例的59%，占報告死亡人數的48%。

克魯格說：“我們再次處於震中。”他還表示，歐洲和中亞的新冠住院率在一周內增加了一倍多。

所有年齡組都有感染增加的趨勢，但75%的死亡病例發生在65歲及以上的人群中。

一項估計預測，如果這些國家沿著這一軌跡發展下去，到明年2月1日，歐洲和中亞可能還會有50萬人死亡。

News: WHO warns Europe once again at epicentre of pandemic

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-59160525

Europe is once again "at the epicentre" of the Covid pandemic, the World Health Organization (WHO) has warned, as cases soar across the continent.

…………
The rate of vaccination has slowed across the continent in recent months. While some 80% of people in Spain are double jabbed, in Germany it is as low as 66% - and far lower in some Eastern European countries. Only 32% of Russians were fully vaccinated by October 2021.

……………

It came as Germany recorded more than 37,000 daily Covid cases on Friday, a record high for the second day running. The incidence rate per 100,000 people is now higher than it was in April, at 169,9, but well below the level in the UK.

German public health officials are worried that a fourth wave of infection could lead to a large number of deaths and pressure on the health system. In the past 24 hours 154 deaths have been recorded, up from 121 a week ago.

Lothar Wieler of Germany's RKI institute spoke on Thursday of terrifying numbers. "If we don't take counter-measures now, this fourth wave will bring yet more suffering," he said. Among the many Germans who have not been vaccinated are more than three million over-60s, seen at particular risk.

Romania recorded its highest number of deaths in 24 hours this week at 591 while in Hungary, daily Covid infections have more than doubled in the past week to 6,268. Mask-wearing is only required on public transport and in hospitals.

"At the moment we seem to be hell-bent on a course that says the pandemic is over, we just need to vaccinate a few more people. That is not the case," said Dr Ryan, who called for every country to plug the holes in their response.

This week the Dutch government said it would reimpose mask-wearing and social distancing in many public settings as it emerged that hospital admissions had gone up 31% in a week.

Croatia recorded 6,310 new cases on Thursday, its highest number so far. Slovakia has reported its second highest number of cases and Czechinfections have returned to levels last seen in spring.

England's deputy chief medical officer Prof Jonathan Van-Tam said on Wednesday that too many people believed the pandemic was over.

However, in countries with the highest vaccination rates, infection rates are still relatively low.

Italy has one of the highest vaccination rates for over-12s but even here new cases are up 16.6% in the past week.

Portuguese infections have risen above 1,000 for the first time since September. Spain is one of the few countries not to see a rise in transmission with 2,287 cases reported on Wednesday.

歐洲再成疫情“震中”，主要是這兩個原因

https://www.jiemian.com/article/6783387.html

一是疫苗接種的緩慢，二是防疫措施的放鬆乃至解除。

新冠疫苗繼續拯救著成千上萬的生命，但歐洲和中亞地區的疫苗接種進度仍然緩慢，且不同國家之間很不平衡。截至目前，該地區累計已接種疫苗10億劑次，但僅有47%的人口完成了疫苗接種。區域內有8個國家疫苗接種率超過70%，但仍有2個國家接種率不到10%。

在疫苗接種率較低的中歐、東歐和巴爾幹半島地區，新冠住院和死亡率均較高。11月4日，俄羅斯新增確診病例40217例，死亡1195例，新增死亡病例連續兩天打破疫情暴發以來的紀錄。俄羅斯目前僅有33%的人口完成了疫苗接種。

…………

一些歐洲國家此前急於“解封”、放鬆乃至解除了防疫措施，是近期歐洲疫情反彈的一個重要原因。

據估算，如果歐洲和中亞地區95%以上的民眾佩戴口罩，從現在到明年2月的死亡人數將減少18.8萬人。克盧格認為，與其在疫情反彈後再作出反應，不如一開始就采取合適的防疫措施以預防疫情反彈。包括核酸檢測、密接者追蹤、室內通風、社交隔離等防疫措施都能在日常生活正常進行的同時有效防控疫情，避免不得不再度“封城”損害經濟。

世衛組織歐洲區域高級應急事務官員凱瑟琳·斯莫伍德（Catherine Smallwood）表示，大多數解除了防疫措施的國家近期都出現了疫情反彈。雖然疫苗能夠降低住院率和死亡率，但感染人數的增多抵消了疫苗的積極影響。她還表示，一旦大規模放鬆乃至解除防疫措施，即使在疫苗接種率較高的國家，高危人群也會導致疫情的局部暴發。
