A World Health Organisation chief has warned that Europe is "only passing the halfway mark" of the pandemic - and said Covid should not be likened to flu.
The WHO says governments "should not suggest to people that the data has suddenly changed or the virus has suddenly got incredibly weak".
Dr David Nabarro, the WHO's special envoy for Covid-19, said that the "end was in sight" but said that Europe was only "passing the halfway mark in a marathon".
