In Britain, however, more than 200 fewer new cases were reported than a day ago.

Coronavirus: the second wave

Half a year after the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic in the spring, the second wave of the pandemic has arrived. The radical increase in the number of infected is forcing more and more countries to re-impose restrictions, despite the fact that the world economy has not even recovered from the effects of the spring outbreak. According to the posters, the second wave also reached Hungary. Follow our news!

In Italy, the number of new infections recorded was 1,411 on Thursday and five died, while on Friday 1,462 new infections and nine deaths were reported, three in Lombardy, the old center. More and more people have contracted the virus during their holidays in Sardinia.

Sardinia is one of the Italian provinces where it has developed its own contact search system.

In Britain, 1,276 new coronavirus infections were reported on Friday, up from 1,522 the day before, with nine new deaths from virus-induced Covid-19 disease.

British Transport Minister Grant Shapps said it was time for people to go back to their jobs. Shapps told London-based LBC Radio on Friday that he thought the function of working from home would decrease with the start of the school year, which is also an important fact because many people’s mental health was not good because they had to work in your apartment.

At the same time, the British Confederation of Industry (CBI), representing 190,000 companies employing more than 7 million people, noted that the turnover of restaurants and bars commonly used by workers had dropped significantly because companies changed jobs from home, with layoffs in various places. CBI Executive Director Carolyn Fairbairn said urban centers had become “ghost towns” because of this, and that the closure of stores that tend to serve workers during working hours could have an impact on the UK economy as a whole.

Finance Minister Rishi Sunak has announced that the government will no longer pay the salaries of employees who lost their jobs since the end of October.

In March, London promised that the government would reimburse employers for nearly 80 percent of the wages of its employees who had lost their jobs due to the economic effects of the epidemic if companies did not fire them.
