París. Fronteras cerradas y confinamiento general en Europa, la economía al borde de un abismo y una gran incertidumbre mundial. La pandemia del nuevo coronavirus, que ya ha dejado más de 7.000 muertos, sigue avanzando inexorablemente y paralizando la vida de millones de personas.

"Todos los países, sin excepción, deben tomar las medidas más audaces posibles para parar o frenar la amenaza del virus", dijo este martes Hans Kluge, de la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS), en un llamado a Europa, actual epicentro de la pandemia.
