The France has returned from today October 30 in closure, the national “closure” launched by Macron until at least December, but on the day of the debut of the new regime of restrictions approaches 50,000 daily cases of positivity at COVID-19. Like at the end of last week. According to data released by Santé Publique, positive cases in the last 24 hours have been 49,215, against 47,637 from yesterday.

The positivity rate has now reached 20%. Weekly swabs are now approaching 2 million (1,930,783). There have been 256 deaths since yesterday, up from 235 yesterday. The total amounts to 36,565, including victims in nursing homes and institutions for the disabled.
Germany “closes” Italy
Meanwhile, the internal borders of the EU remain formally open, but the pandemic is so out of control that protective barriers between countries have been re-established. This is the case of the Germany, who has ordered quarantine for anyone arriving fromItaly, with the sole exclusion of Calabria. Yet another sign that the autumn virus is keeping Europe apnea. Since Belgium, which is one step away from emergency shutdown, to Spain, where schools have closed 10,000 classes. To Austria, where the Kurz government will announce tomorrow a newor lockdown: hospitals are now at their limit, so stop at restaurants, cinemas, theaters, weddings and curfews from 8:00 pm to 6:00 am Schools will remain open. All European countries are preparing to face the same dire scenario as last spring. Germany is also forced to do so. There, the daily figures are less worrisome than those of the others, but the growth is exponential: more than 18,600 new infections in 24 hours, 2,000 more than the previous day. In November, the country will enter the so-called ‘light confinement’ regime, with the closure of bars, restaurants and all entertainment venues, leaving shops and schools open. As an additional containment measure, the list of risk areas has been updated. COVID-19.
The grip on travel
Almost all of Italy, which has passed the threshold of 30,000 daily infections, is part, along with Austria. This means that as of November 1, the German authorities advise against traveling to the peninsula, with the exception of Calabria. Those who decide to leave, upon returning must observe the quarantine, or undergo a test and wait for a negative result to be able to leave home again. The German travel restriction, which has already been applied to Croatia, Slovenia, Hungary, Bulgaria and Cyprus, shows once again that in the face of the emergency the tendency of governments is to act unilaterally. Despite calls from the EU for a joint approach to restrictions: “The only way forward – underlined Health Commissioner Stella Kyriakides – is to win the trust of citizens.”
The confinement in France
Paris, like Berlin, also goes its own way. In France, the light lockdown has already come into effect, after weeks of steady increases in infections. The majority of the French, more than 70%, seem to approve of a return to a state of almost total confinement. The figure came from a study by the Odoxa-Dentsu consulting institute for Le Figaro and France Info. President Emmanuel Macron got 9 more points of approval than when he announced the curfew two weeks ago. The blockade is also upon us in Belgium. Prime Minister Alexander De Croo has announced tougher new measures to try to contain the spread of infections, which have grown 38% in a week. “Last chance measures,” he warned. Starting November 2, all non-essential stores will be closed for a month and a half. The same will happen with contact professions such as hairdressers and beauticians. Schools will be closed until November 15. Teleworking will be mandatory.
Spain
Spain, on the other hand, still hopes to avoid total closure. “With the measures adopted for the moment, it will not be necessary to resort to home confinement,” said Health Minister Salvador Illa, considering that the restrictions adopted by regional autonomies can “stabilize” the contagion curve. National data, however, continues to deteriorate: nearly 25,600 infections a day, a new record. And since the beginning of the school year, 10,000 classes in 159 schools have already been forced to close. A new repression is also expected in Greece. The announcement was only delayed one day due to the earthquake that struck the Aegean.
