The coronavirus has taken over the last continent: the frozen Antarctica, write the British newspapers “Guardian” and “Daily Mail”. For the first time since the beginning of the pandemic, cases were registered there, after 36 Chileans in a scientific base were infected, 26 soldiers and 10 maintenance officers. Three people from a ship that supplied the base with provisions also tested positive.

The pandemic in Europe can be controlled by the end of 2021, but it all depends on how fast the immunization process goes, says an expert report from the European Commission.

To control the infection, it is necessary to vaccinate 70% of the population. The European Commission and WHO also worked on creating a vaccine certificate.

Emmanuel Macron, infected with coronavirus, who has isolated himself at his Versailles residence, has complications, a source close to him said on condition of anonymity. The 42-year-old French president was very exhausted and had difficulty breathing.

At Christmas, Hungary will ease the measures slightly. The evening will be canceled on December 24 and 25. Children under the age of 14 will be excluded from the 10-person limit at the meeting. In Slovenia, there will also be a similar relaxation of the holidays. Up to six adults from two households will be able to get together for Christmas. The ban on travel throughout the country is also lifted. Massive coronavirus testing with rapid antigen tests, which is already equated with PCR tests, begins today in Slovenia.

Infected in the United States surpassed 18 million After the House of Representatives, the Senate also approved a new rescue package of $ 900 billion, which provides direct aid of $ 600 for every American in need.
