Italy has the highest rate of illness and death: the spread of neocoronaviruses in Europe
Neocoronaviruses have spread rapidly across the globe since the outbreak in China in early 2020. The European region is one of the worst affected by the outbreak, with Italy having one of the highest rates of illness and death, making it one of the hardest hit areas of the global outbreak. In this article, we will explore the spread of the new coronavirus in Europe and the reasons why Italy has the highest rate of illness and death.
Causes of the outbreak in Europe
The European region is a global center of transportation and tourism, and as such, faced significant challenges in the early stages of the outbreak. In addition, the relatively open borders between European countries and the high level of travel and trade accelerated the spread of the virus. In addition, there were certain problems with the healthcare systems of European countries, which made it impossible to control the spread of the virus in a timely and effective manner after the outbreak.
Causes of Italy's highest disease and death rates
Italy has one of the worst outbreaks in the European region, and its disease and death rates are among the highest in the world. This is mainly due to the following reasons:
1. Weak healthcare system: Italy's healthcare system was overwhelmed in the early stages of the epidemic, with insufficient healthcare resources, which prevented many patients from receiving timely treatment.
2. High degree of aging: Italy is one of the oldest countries in Europe, with a high proportion of elderly people, who are more vulnerable and prone to infection and severe symptoms.
3. Social habits: Italians like to kiss and hug in public ****, and this social habit also accelerates the spread of the virus.
European countries' response
European countries have taken a variety of measures to control the spread of the virus after the outbreak, including:
1. sealing off city and national borders: Many European countries have taken measures to seal off city and national borders to restrict the movement of people and slow down the spread of the virus.
2. Strengthening detection and isolation: European countries have strengthened measures to detect and isolate infected people in time to prevent the spread of the virus.
3. Strengthening medical resources: European countries have strengthened their investment in medical resources, increasing hospital beds and medical equipment such as ventilators to meet the challenges of the epidemic.
