Covid, in Great Britain 17 thousand infections and record deaths since June: 143 in 24 hours. Paris, “intensive care at 80% for October 24”

Closures directed at United Kingdom, where even today they were registered 17 thousand almost and the low registration starting in June, night curfew on Belgium, towards the closure of restaurants in Netherlands, where a new record of 7,400 cases in one day, and Emmanuel Macron that in France prepares to announce new restrictions to the nation. Governments across Europe, where this week the highest weekly incidence of new cases was reached since the start of the pandemic with 700 thousand positives, run to take refuge from the increase in infections of COVID-19 and increased pressure on hospitals. While in Italy, the new dpcm foresees a reduction in nightlife and parties at home in a similar way to what is happening Bavaria, the measures introduced in some EU countries are even more stringent. Starting from France, where a curfew is being considered in the highest risk areas. Only in Paris, warns the director of the consortium that brings together the city’s hospitals Martin Hirsch, the explosion in the number of Covid patients in resuscitation “is inevitable”. The places in intensive care are already 50% occupied, but on October 24 the percentage could rise “between 70 and 90% of our current capacities.” Meanwhile, the Russia registered the low registration daily since the beginning of the pandemic: there are 244, compared to 125 yesterday.

New restrictions are also being prepared in the British capital. It is “inevitable” that London overcome the tipping point of the coronavirus epidemic and enter a new regime restrictions “in the next few days”the mayor said Sadiq khan. “All the indicators, hospital admissions, intensive care, the number of infected among the elderly, the spread of the disease, everything is going in the wrong direction,” he warned.

Even outside of Europe, several countries have introduced stricter measures to counter the spread of the virus. In South Korea Mandatory masks starting today at all crowded venues and events, in all “high risk” situations. As of November 30, those who violate the provisions, the agency writes. Yonhap, he will face fines of up to 100,000 won, the equivalent of about 74 euros. Sanctions that, the South Korean media emphasize, can also affect those who are caught with the mask under their nose. The penalty for those who manage structures or organize events and do not guarantee compliance with the provisions then reaches 3 million won (more than 2,200 euros).

France – Worry, in fact, not only about the exponential increase in new infections, which overall France have almost reached height 30 thousand before the weekend (and then drop to 8,500 like it happens every Monday). According to Hirsch, “the situation in the French capital is tomb“: In the next two weeks there will be” at least 800 to 1,000 patients Covid in resuscitation services ”in Ile-de-France. The consequences can already be seen today: in the 39 hospitals of the consortium, Hirsch specified, on the “20% of non-priority interventions“They are currently suspended or postponed. It is no better in the rest of the country: after cities like Paris, Lyon and Marseille, starting tonight too Montpellier me Toulouse they passed through the ‘maximum alert’ zone along with several neighboring municipalities. In 24 hours they were registered 96 dead, according to data published by Santé Publique France. 1,539 hospitalizations for resuscitationand (56 more), the highest level since last May. Faced with this situation, President Macron has asked for a new one for today Health Defense Council to organize the response to the coronavirus. As it reveals Pointhowever, there is no agreement between the institutions. “On the one hand there are the tough guys on avenue de Ségur (Ministry of Health, ed), on the other the hesitant Elysium ”but at the same time looking for a way to give a strong signal. The knot will dissolve on Wednesday night, when the president will appear on unified networks in France 2 me TF1.

Germany – Monday also to Monaco, as in Italy, there is a limit to “private parties”: in the capital of Bavaria they cannot be found in the same house more than 5 people. The measure was activated because the city exceeded the limit of 50 infections per 100,000 inhabitants in the last week. Exceeding this threshold, valid throughout the Germanyin fact, it requires municipalities to introduce stricter restrictions than those in force at the national level. The number of new cases in the country is increasing again in significantly, especially in large cities: today they are registered 4,122 positives and 13 other people died. Only in Bavaria, in addition to the capital, the districts of Fürstenfeldbruck, Regen and Berchtesgadener Land, as well as the cities of Memmingen and Rosenheim also exceeded the critical threshold and introduced new restrictions. The new rules, which are now also valid in Monaco, provide for themandatory outdoor mask (at least in pedestrian and crowded areas), the prohibition for the premises of sell alcohol then mineral 22, the prohibition of meeting between more than 5 people (in homes but also in restaurants) and a maximum limit to the number of Participants everybody celebrations which can be a maximum of 25 indoors and 50 outdoors. These measures, which also provoked reactions in Bavaria controversy. in particular of merchants – are valid for at least two weeks: then the epidemiological situation will be reassessed.

Britain – The United Kingdom has registered 17,234 cases of Covid-19 and 143 victims in the last 24 hours, the latter the highest number since last June. The total number of victims in the country has risen to 634,920 infections and 43,018 deaths. London, at the moment, is in the first of three levels of restrictions, that “means, medium”, but the Municipality has already alerted citizens that the situation “could change very quickly, potentially this week as well”, and move to the second level, the “high”, which makes it impossible for people to meet with other nuclei family members in the interior, including pubs and restaurants. London currently has a rule of 6 caps for meetings and closing at 10pm for clubs and restaurants. According to Khan, London should pass the strictest level of restrictions at the general level and not take a “local” approach with different restrictions in different districts. “Many Londoners work in one district, live in another, study in another, go to a restaurant in another,” he explained.

Belgium – The rules that just went into effect are even tougher Belgium, where between October 3 and 9, according to the latest official data available, people positive for the coronavirus were on average 4,449 per day, 79% more compared to the previous seven days.
