Germany is preparing for a new stage this Monday (20): part of the trade, closed for more than a month, is again in operation. To be successful, the government wants to keep decreasing the number of hospitalizations, further increase testing, and ensure that the population remains socially distant.

The decision was made by Prime Minister Angela Merkel, along with the governors, and made clear that the return to normality will be slow and cautious. It is Germany’s figures in the pandemic that support the new measures.

The cases of cured patients are already greater than those of hospitalized patients. The country performs between 500 and 600 thousand tests per week, much more than the United States and the United Kingdom, for example.

New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced that the country will remain in its strict blockade for another five days.

The country was planning to break out of its level 4 blockade, the highest level in the alert system, on Wednesday at 11:59 p.m. Local time, however, Ardern said Monday that the measures will continue until next Monday at 11:59 p.m.

This means that New Zealand will remain under strict lockout measures, which require all non-essential workers to remain in their homes, for the next three-day weekend. Next Monday is a public holiday in New Zealand for Anzac Day, a day of remembrance for soldiers killed in conflict.

The decision comes despite the fact that New Zealand has seen fewer and fewer cases of coronavirus in recent weeks. On Monday, New Zealand recorded nine new cases, bringing the country’s total to 1,440. Of these, 12 died and 974 recovered.

A total of 1,553 new cases of Covid-19 have been reported in India in the past 24 hours, the country’s largest one-day peak during the epidemic, according to CNN. A further 36 deaths were also reported.

India has confirmed a total of at least 17,265 cases of coronavirus, including 543 deaths, according to the country’s Ministry of Health. A total of 2,547 people recovered or were discharged.

The highest number of cases are reported in the states of Maharashtra and Gujarat and in the union territory of Delhi.
