As Omicron spreads, Europe cautioned over rising Covid-19 cases, deaths

A major European health agency warned on Tuesday that the number of deaths and hospitalizations due to Covid-19 in Europe will continue to rise in the coming weeks because vaccination rates are still insufficient to cope with this trend.

European countries have adopted a series of different measures to combat the spread of the virus, including the lockdown of unvaccinated people and the early closure of restaurants and bars. But Andrea Amon, director of the European Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said the death toll is still increasing. “In the coming weeks, the parameters of cases, deaths, hospitalizations and ICU admissions will increase,” she said at a meeting of the EU Health Minister in Brussels. “The variant of Omicron makes the whole situation even more worrying.”

ECDC stated that it has recorded at least 274 Omicron cases in 19 European countries. The agency added that there are no reports of serious illnesses or deaths, but it is too early to draw conclusions.

EU Health Commissioner Stella Kyriakides stated that the overall vaccination rate in the six EU countries is still below 55%.

Austria confirmed on Tuesday that it will end the nationwide lockdown of people who have been vaccinated with Covid-19 or who have recovered from the virus this weekend, while continuing to restrict participation in public life for those who refuse to be vaccinated.

Poland switched to online education during the extended holiday on Tuesday, and required medical staff and teachers to be vaccinated.

The Omicron variant has brought wider uncertainty to the African continent, and the Norwegian Institute of Public Health has warned that it may become the country’s main strain within a few weeks.

Jennifer Lopez ‘let go of her’ high-heeled ego while working with Ben Affleck

As Jennifer Lopez navigates her separation from Ben Affleck, she prioritizes her career, notably in the film Unstoppable.

Jennifer Lopez has “let go of her ego” to prioritise her career and personal growth as she navigates her separation from Ben Affleck.

The 55-year-old actress and singer, during an interview with Amazon/MGM, opened up about working on the upcoming film Unstoppable, a project she co-starred in while estranged from her husband.

“It was an honour to be a part of Anthony [Robles] and to play Judy,” Jennifer shared. “I approached the role with a complete lack of ego where you have to go in there and have so much respect for the person you are playing because it’s her story.”

“I disappeared, there was no Jennifer, no J. Lo. That person on the screen is just Judy. Luckily, I got to spend time with her and see who she was alone and as a mother.”

“Unstoppable is a very different movie than [Small Things Like These], but in a way it’s similarly rooted in the passion of really talented artists,” Ben told Entertainment Toninght just couple of weeks back. “Billy Goldenberg and Jennifer and Don Cheadle and Jharrel and Bobby Cannavale – all of whom were really passionate about this film.”

After reuniting and marrying in 2022, Jennifer filed for divorce in August 2024. Reports of marital struggles, including living separately, surfaced months before the filing.

“He’s focusing on his work and his kids now,” an insider told InTouch Weekly. “Ben already moved out … They’ll never stop loving each other, but she can’t control him, and he can’t change her.”
