STOCKHOLM, Sept 24, 2020 (BSS/AFP) – Seven European Union countries —
Spain, Romania, Bulgaria, Croatia, Hungary, Czech Republic and Malta — are
of “high concern” due to rising Covid-19 death rates, the European Centre for
Disease Control and Prevention warned Thursday.
The Stockholm-based EU agency’s latest assessment report said these
countries had “an increased proportion of hospitalised and severe cases”, and
“increasing or high death notification rates are already observed … or may
be observed soon,” owing to a spread among older people.
