The reason is stated to be the rapid spread of infection with the omicrom variant, in combination with the vaccination.
< - It will cause infection rates to fall, because it is simply more difficult for viruses to find susceptible in our society, says chief epidemiologist Tyra Grove Krause to TV2.
The World Health Organization, WHO, also expects the pandemic soon is over in Europe with the ongoing omicron wave.
– It is likely that the region is moving towards a kind of pandemic playoffs, said WHO's European head Hans Kluge to AFP the other day.
