In a recent interview with ABC News, the WHO’s Dr Margaret Harris said that “people did believe” that they would get a “break” in the summer during the pandemic, which may in part explain why cases have risen since Europe opened up.玛格丽特，世界卫生组织·哈里斯博士最近接受了ABC在新闻采访中，人们确实相信他们今年夏天能在疫情期间喘息，这可能部分解释了为什么欧洲开放后病例增加。
“And, unfortunately, people sort of did behave as if it had gone away and it hadnt, and thats why numbers have been steadily increasing since the middle of June,” she said.不幸的是，疫情似乎已经过去，但事实并非如此。这就是为什么6月中旬以来新确诊病例数量稳步增加的原因。”
