FRANKFURT, April 28 (Xinhua) Europeans are longing for outdoor gatherings and sunshine as the weather turns warm. This week, in some parts of Europe, people once again crowded streets and parks as governments started to gradually lift coronavirus restrictions.
As the number of new infections is still running high and problems surrounding travel certificate and other issues remain unresolved, experts warned a too hasty exit strategy might risk another spike of the virus and that coordination among European countries is also needed.

It s not enough to ban misleading content: YouTube is fighting COVID-19 misinformation with a new series of public service announcements (PSA) encouraging folks to learn about the vaccines.
In partnership with the Vaccine Confidence Project at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, YouTube is launching its PSA campaign first in the US, with plans to reach other countries in the weeks to come. At YouTube, we are committed to making sure that people have access to reliable information about the vaccine, including how it was developed and tested, what they can expect when they get the vaccine, and how every person plays a part in the public s health, Garth Graham, director and global head of healthcare and public health partnerships at YouTube, wrote in a blog post.
