World Health Organization (WHO) special coronavirus envoy David Nabarro predicted a third wave of the pandemic to hit Europe in early 2021 if governments repeat what he said was a failure to do what was necessary to prevent the second wave, according to Reuters.

In an interview with Swiss newspapers, Nabarro said: “They (Governments) missed establishing the necessary infrastructure during the summer months, after controlling the first wave.”

Moreover, Nabarro added, “Now we have the second wave. If they don’t build the necessary infrastructure, we’ll have a third wave early next year."

It is worth mentioning that, Europe briefly witnessed a decline in infection rates that are now increasing again.

On Saturday, Germany and France saw a surge in new cases by 33,000 combined. Switzerland and Austria are reporting thousands of coronavirus cases daily.
