COVID-19 update for April 28: Second wave of Omicron has not peaked in B.C. | Quebec health institute forecasts decline in hospitalizations | Health Canada is actively tracking the Omicron sub-variant XE in the country
The European Commission said that between 60 per cent and 80 per cent of the EU population was estimated to have been infected with COVID-19, as the bloc enters a post-emergency phase in which mass reporting of cases was no longer necessary.
The EU public health agency said reported cases had covered about 30% of the European population so far, but if unreported infections were added, cases could be as high as 350 million, about 77 per cent of the European population. Scientists looked for specific antibodies produced in response to the SARS-CoV-2 virus that are only present after an infection and are not generated by COVID-19 vaccines.Masks are not required in public indoor settings though individual businesses and event organizers can choose to require them.
