SunstarTV Bureau: While India is under the grip of second wave of COVID-19 deadly virus, a third wave is now sweeping across Europe, forcing many countries to impose lockdown once again in order to curb the spread of deadly virus.
Since the beginning of February, Covid cases in the EU are now at its highest level and it is feared that the new variants of the Covid-19 is responsible for the sudden spike.

French HealthMinister Olivier Véran also expressed concern over rising coronavirus cases in the country. He described the situation in the greater Paris region as tense and worrying. “Every 12 minutes night and day, a Parisian is admitted to an intensive care bed,” he revealed.
French President Macron has already imposed curfews and other social restrictions in several regions to stop the surge of the third wave. Germany recorded 12,674 new Covid infections on Saturday. The head of Germany’s infectious disease agency acknowledged that the country was now facing a third wave of Covid-19.
