The situation of the Coronavirus in Europe remains delicate, where 5 million cases have been touched. Of special concern are France, Spain and the United Kingdom, while in Germany, the virologist Christian Droste said that “we must be vigilant because the pandemic for the German country is just beginning.”

Covid, German virologist: “In Germany only now will the real pandemic begin”

SPAIN In Madrid, the spread of the virus keeps the population and the government in suspense, to the point of requesting “urgent military logistical support”, the objective is to install tents and mobile garrisons to carry out the largest possible number of tests in the population. Requests for help from the vice president of the Community of Madrid Ignacio Aguado also to the Police to “ensure compliance by citizens as a whole of the rules to limit contagion.” The Deputy Minister of Health Antonio Zapatero also specified the situation: «We are studying the extension of the restriction measures to new areas. The final decision will probably be made on Friday, ”he told Pais. The measure should result in a 50 percent reduction in the capacity of hotels, a ban on the consumption of products in bars and a remodeling of the opening hours of the premises. Spain registered 241 deaths and 10,799 cases yesterday.

UK There is concern across the English Channel around the city of Liverpool and its university. In a few weeks, a real outbreak has exploded, with 87 positive Covid among students, teachers and non-teaching staff. This is also why Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced new restrictions yesterday. The prime minister has never questioned, however, the opening of schools and universities in Britain, unleashing the ire of the compact university union by demanding an early return to central government online lessons and exams. Some trade unionists have pointed the finger at the Liverpool rectory. The response of the academic leaders was dry, for which all the necessary measures would have been adopted and despite the large number of positives there would be no serious cases. Teacher
Louise Kenny, vice dean of the Faculty of Sciences, threw water on the fire in this regard, stating that there are no situations in the university that are different from the rest of the city and defending the importance of face-to-face teaching.

The data is not very comforting and today’s data speak of 6,178 new cases, compared to almost 5,000 yesterday. Fortunately, the increase in deaths did not follow the increase, which as in the last 24 hours, is 37, by many. There were 181 admissions to intensive care, identical to the day before. Swabs number 220,000, more than 19 million since the start of the pandemic.

FRANCE Paris becomes a scarlet or “super red” zone, along with other transalpine metropolises. It is the decision of the French government, for the application of more restrictions aimed at limiting coronavirus infection. This is reported by the newspaper France 24, highlighting that in the French capital the incidence of covid is 204 inhabitants per one hundred thousand. The Minister of Health, Olivier Veran, will present today around 6:00 p.m. a map of the epidemic, in which the new areas and related measures will be distinguished.
