The World Health Organization has warned lifting coronavirus lockdown measures too early could spark a "deadly resurgence" in infections.
Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus says countries should be cautious about easing restrictions, even as some struggle with the economic impact.
Europe's worst hit countries, Spain and Italy, are both relaxing some measures, while their lockdowns continue.
Globally there are 1.6 million cases of coronavirus and 100,000 deaths.
Speaking at a virtual news conference in Geneva, Dr Tedros said there had been a "welcome slowing" of the epidemic in some European countries.
He said the WHO was working with governments to form strategies for easing restrictions, but that this should not be done too soon.
