(CNN) Europe has missed its chance to stop the third wave of the coronavirus epidemic before it got out of control. The German capital of Berlin has halted the planned easing of its lockdown too, quoting a rising number of Covid-19 cases. World Health Organization warned about this nearly two months ago, when it became clear the UK variant was circulating in most of Europe. He observed that after promising declines in Covid-19 numbers, some European countries "pulled back on public health measures" which has led to the new spikes. The new wave of higher case numbers isn't limited to Europe.
