‘Alarming’: WHO warns Europe over 300,000 COVID-19 cases in week

The number of coronavirus cases globally has now passed 30 million, as the World Health Organization sounds an alarm over the rising rate of transmission across Europe.

More than 300,000 people have been infected there in the past week.
