COVID-19: WHO Sees ‘Encouraging Signs’ In Coronavirus Spread in Europe

The World Health Organization’s (WHO) European office said Thursday it saw “encouraging signs” as Italy reported a lower rate of infections of the new coronavirus, cautioning it was too early to say whether the worst had passed.

“While the situation remains very serious, we are starting to see some encouraging signs.

Italy, which has the highest number of cases in the region, has just seen a slightly lower rate of increase, though it is still too early to say that the pandemic is peaking in that country,”
