WARSAW, June 12 (Xinhua) -- The first wave of COVID-19 infection has passed its peak in all European Union (EU) countries except Poland and Sweden, the Polish Press Agency reported Friday, citing the latest EU report.
The report, issued by the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), said that thanks to restrictions, the EU countries managed to reduce the number of COVID-19 infections by 80 percent in comparison with the peak of the pandemic.
