Europeans warned of more deaths

WHO says fall will get worse, fueling doubts over UK's fresh virus curbs

Europe will face a rising death toll from the coronavirus during the fall, the World Health Organization has warned, as the number of daily infections around the world reached a record high.

Globally, more than 29.27 million people have been reported to be infected by the novel coronavirus and 926,716 have died as of early Tuesday, according to a Reuters tally.

"It's going to get tougher. In October, November, we are going to see more mortality," WHO Europe Director Hans Kluge said in an interview on Monday.
