Constant surges of coronavirus infections expected without a vaccine: ECDC director

BRUSSELS, Sept. 2 (Xinhua) -- The head of the European health advisory body warned on Wednesday that constant surges and decreases of COVID-19 cases will continue until a vaccine is available.

Andrea Ammon, director of the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control, said that the increase in cases in recent weeks was close to the numbers reported in March. Although transmission was on the increase, there were fewer hospitalisations this time around.
