OREANDA-NEWS. The British newspaper Guardian writes that European countries are preparing for the second wave of coronavirus epidemic.

“Europe is bracing for a second wave of coronavirus as continuing outbreaks raise the prospect of reimposed restrictions at a time when millions of people are travelling across the continent for their summer holidays,” the article reads.

The Belgian government warned of new restrictive measures following a spike in COVID-19 cases.

The Catalan authorities do not rule out that they would also take similar steps if they fail to control the outbreak of coronavirus within 10 days.

France called for increased vigilance following a sharp rise in COVID-19 cases among young people.

The publication notes that fear of a second wave of coronavirus is increasing in Germany. Some experts say that the country is on its doorstep, others claim that it has already begun, and some specialists report of a constant wave that will last until a vaccine is released.
