<p>However, the head of the continent’s disease control centre said it is too early to relax current virus restrictions.</p>
<p><!--Ads1--></p>
<p>Andrea Ammon, director of the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control, said it is alarming that the death rate caused by Covid-19 is still rising across Europe — it was 95 per one million people last week compared with 84 the week before.</p>
<p>Ms Ammon also noted that occupancy of intensive care units was at 91% last week, meaning that “some countries are probably already at the limit”.</p>
<p>She spoke at at a virtual gathering of politicians responsible for European affairs in all the EU member states and at the European Parliament.</p>

<p>Ms Ammon also said there are still challenges when it comes to testing and contact tracing and that EU nations need to harmonise their medical data.</p>
<p>As of Monday, more than 13 million coronavirus cases have been reported in the EU and more than 319,700 people in the bloc have died of Covid-19.</p>
