The World Health Organisation has reported over a month ago that there is a risk of new cases bringing in the 4th wave of COVID-19. Although, we have a good uptake of vaccinations and restrictions are easing down, it appears that the Delta variant is a bit more persistent than our efforts in tackling the virus altogether.
Dr Hans Kluge, the head of WHO European Region, advised reporters during a press conference in Copenhagen on 1 July that, scientists are registering signs of the new wave bringing in excess hospitalisations and potential deaths before the autumn.
Dr Kluge said that the the three signs are “new variants, deficit in vaccine uptake, increased social mixing. There will be a new wave in the WHO European Region unless we remain disciplined, and even more so when there are less rules in place to follow – and unless we all take the vaccine without hesitating when it is our turn. “
Back then, it appeared that this may just be a pessimistic view on how things are developing. Ignoring the advice, Europe started removing restrictions. In some places, governments fully eliminated precautions such as face masks and social distancing rules. UK, for example, celebrated the 19th July as the end of the Corona crisis with clubs and sports events opening to the wider public at full capacity and new countries entering the so-called green list.
The difficulty is that the virus mutates unpredictably and has given rise to new cases. 4th waves have been recorded around the globe with some countries either entering or about to go into it. Canada has officially announced ir. US states have gradually informed officials one by one. Germany has given a warning. Whether the risk is high or a reality, preparation for it may be key for businesses to keep going.
