Despite the rules on masking and estrangement, it is feared that the end of the summer season will cause a wave of infections.

LONDON – Despite all the demanding situations to control the spread of coronavirus, Europe’s initial strategy was simple: almost universal and strictly applied blockages.
It all over it, it worked. And in the two months since the highest countries opened, advanced testing and tracking has largely managed to control new epidemics, and with fundamental regulations on the use of masks and social distance, life has been able to resume with an appearance of normality.
But in recent days, France, Germany and Italy have noticed their highest number of cases since the spring, and Spain is in the midst of a primary epidemic. Government and public health officials warn that the continent is entering a new phase of the pandemic.
There is no widespread chaos or a general sense of crisis in March and April. And the newly detected infections, consisting of another 100,000 people across Europe, still account for about one-fifth of the number in the United States in the following week, according to a New York Times database.
But there is a growing fear that until the end of the summer season, the virus may locate a new location as others move their lives to closed places and the fall flu season begins.
Countries that employ a variety of methods, and with regulations that change suddenly and guidance that vary from country to country, it remains to be noted which tactics will be applicable and effective.
The virus is also spreading in a very different landscape than what it discovered in the spring, with many urban centers still largely empty of workplace staff and an on-guard hearing.
Accumulation in cases in Europe, as in many other parts of the world, is driven by other young people: the proportion of other people over 15 to 24 years inflamed in Europe has increased from about 4.5% to 15% in the last five years. months, according to the World Health Organization.
Dr. Hans Kluge, its director for Europe, said Thursday that he was “very concerned” that other people under the age of 24 were among the new cases.
