Europe's Coronavirus crisis is now entering a new phase after Spain’s decision to go public about the
coronavirus outbreak in Tenerife despite the EU and ECDC objections based on technicalities involving the definitions and classifications of
coronavirus infections. What followed suit was many other European governments started to also announce cases in the last 24 hours and despite the low figures of confirmed cases, there is in reality a huge number of suspected cases that are being ‘investigated’ or are pending testing or tracing. Some of these countries are refusing to give details about these figures concerning suspected cases.
