ALMERE, Netherlands (AP) — A bright yellow helicopter rose into a blue sky Friday carrying a COVID-19 patient from the Netherlands to a German intensive care unit, the first such international airlift since the global pandemic first threatened to swamp Dutch hospitals in the spring.
The head of the World Health Organization warned that countries in the Northern hemisphere were at a “critical juncture” as cases and deaths continue to rise.
“The next few months are going to be very tough and some countries are on a dangerous track,” WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said at a media briefing from Geneva.
The U.N. health agency had recorded about 445,000 new coronavirus cases in the past 24 hours and that nearly half of those were from Europe, Maria Van Kerkhove, WHO’s technical lead on COVID-19, said.
