Coronavirus, Germany returns to April figures. UK, Johnson ready for new restrictions: record infections in 24 hours, cases total 4,422

I hope a new one emergency shutdown Hovering over‘Europe. In the last week, cases of coronavirus have grown exponentially in practically all the countries of the Old Continent and the very feared “Second wave” of the virus It also appears to be imminent, as noted by the British Prime Minister Boris johnson, inevitable. So much so that the premier says he is prepared for more restrictions, but in London a thousand protesters opposed to the measures of confinement, masks and social distancing due to the coronavirus epidemic, in the name of the slogan “Resist and Act for Freedom” gathered in Trafalgar Square, where there were tensions and some fights with the police. But the data is worrying and for two consecutive days Record infections in 24 hours: recorded 4,422 new cases, 100 more than the previous day. It is the highest number sinceMay 8. The global balance exceeds 390 thousand cases. The new victims are 27, 41,759 in total.

In GermanyMeanwhile, about 2,300 new cases have been recorded, such as it hadn’t happened since april, while in France infections and deaths (jumped to 13,215 and 123, records from this phase) are three times compared to the Kingdom of Elizabeth. There Spain he was forced to announce a new repression even in the capital Madrid. They are also concerned about Czech Republic, Denmark, Holland: the latter, Prime Minister Mark Rutte said, is studying “regional measures” after nearly 2,000 cases Thursday, many of them in the largest cities, the fourth consecutive record for daily infections. Also there Greece is ready to squeeze Athens.

What is worrying is not only the increase in infections but above all the number of hospitalized, of hospitalizations in intensive care and of deceased. Therefore, governments are intervening with increasingly restrictive measures on freedom of movement, pressured by warnings from theWorld Health Organization (WHO) which speaks of a “serious contagion situation in Europe” thus requesting the different countries different approach, taking the Sweden, criticized in recent months by numerous experts for the lack of restrictions imposed by the government, especially in terms of sustainability and citizen participation: “We must recognize – said the Catherine Smallwood – that Sweden has avoided the increase in cases “in the last period” that is occurring in other states, particularly in Western Europe, and I think there are lessons to be learned from the Swedish approach, particularly in sustainability and the citizen participation“.

And it does not go better beyond European borders: more than 951 thousand deaths worldwide and more than 30.5 million confirmed cases. According to the latest data from John Hopkins University, there have been another 230,884 infections worldwide in the last 24 hours. the Brazil rises to 4.4 million infections – third after U.S (6.7) e India (5.3) – e Israel opens the Jewish New Year celebrations under the hood of a second national blockade already in place (the first country on the planet to use it), as well as world record data in terms of population.

Germany – I’m almost 2,300 new coronavirus infections registered in the last 24 hours in Germany, the highest level since last April. This was reported by the Robert Koch Institut (Rki), the German epidemiological center: there are 2,297 infections, which the total number to 270 thousand. There are 6 deaths in 24 hours, for a total of 9,384. The cured, again according to the count of the Koch Institut, are 239 thousand. The highest level of daily infections was recorded between late March and early April, with about 6,000 infections. In August, only once did the 2,000 daily infections return.

UK – Boris Johnson will spend the weekend considering whether to decide on new anti-Covid restrictions after saying the UK is “now experiencing a second wave.” In recent days, infections have reached the 5,000 per day quota (+ 32% compared to last week) for the first time since last May 8. In the last 24 hours, infections have reached 4,422. For this reason, as Bed and breakfastc, the UK government is considering the prohibition of meetings between different family groups and the reduction in the opening hours of pubs and restaurants. At the moment, 13.5 million Britons, around a fifth of the population, are already subject to restrictions launched in recent days to try to slow the pace of the virus. On Friday, the prime minister said he does not “want to adopt lockdown measures” but that distancing measures should be strengthened. “Clearly, when we look at what’s going on, we wonder whether to do more than the six rules set for Monday“He added, referring to the provision that prohibits the meeting of more than six people.

Spain – Spain continues to be the country most in crisis: in the last two weeks 825 people have died here, an average of 60 per day, and the intensive care wards already host 1,331 10,000 hospitalized for Covid. The Madrid area is especially worrying: for this reason, starting Monday 37 districts will be subject to closure to stop the increase in Covid-19. The measure affects more than 850,000 people, who will be subject to travel and meeting restrictions. Residents will only be allowed to leave their area to go to work, school, or for medical care. Social gatherings will be limited to six people, public parks will be closed and companies will have to lower the blinds before 10pm. Spain has the highest number of coronavirus cases in Europe, and Madrid is once again the most affected region. According to the data of the Johns Hopkins University, the new cases are 625,651 e infection rates in the Madrid region are more than double the national average, as the Spanish government affirms. The country was already among the most affected by the first wave of infections with 30,000 deaths.

France – The coronavirus alarm is growing in France, where 13,215 new infections have been identified in the last 24 hours, a record number that has never been reached since last spring, when the country was totally blocked. to which are added 123 deaths. The Minister of Economy is also positive Bruno the mayorwhile mini-outbreaks continue to emerge across the country, especially in universities. Macron: “We only have one thing to do, fight, fight, fight”, but for now we tend to rule out a new total blockade.

Russia – The number of coronavirus cases detected in the last day in Russia exceeded 6,000 for the first time from July 19. The operational headquarters to combat the spread of the coronavirus said so. According to the headquarters, the daily growth was 0.56%, the total number of infected people reached 1,097,251. Instead, the number of deaths increased by 144 cases compared to 134 the day before and reached a total of 19,339 people. According to the center, the total number of deaths is 1.76% of all infected people in Russia.

India – For more than five weeks India set the daily record for cases in the world. In the last 24 hours they have registered 93,337 new cases, bringing the total to more 5.3 million infections in almost 1.4 billion inhabitants. As for deaths, there were 1,247 in one day. Scholars predict that within a few weeks it will become the country most affected by the pandemic, overtaking the United States. The government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi has faced strong criticism from the opposition in Parliament for handling the pandemic that has left millions of people unemployed. More than 10 million migrant workers have fled the big cities and returned to their villages with the announcement of the closure on March 24. These displacements have caused the virus to spread throughout the country, especially in rural and poorer areas.
