To date, the new Corona virus has infected approximately 3.4 million people worldwide, of whom more than 241,000 have died and 1,231,900 patients have recovered, according to figures reported by Agence France-Presse.
Over the past 24 hours, the United States witnessed 1,453 additional deaths from the newly created Corona virus, bringing the total number of deaths in the country to more than 66,000, and the number of infections has exceeded 1.1 million.
Although the number of victims is still high, 35 of the 50 states have begun to lift, or are about to do, the strict isolation measures they have imposed, at a time when the protests are multiplying to “reopen America”.
But New York Governor Andrew Como confirmed Saturday that he opposed “premature” demands.
He reopened the state, noting that he knows that people suffer in the absence of jobs, but stressed the need to further understand the Corona virus.
New York is the epicenter of the epidemic in the United States, and so far has recorded more than 17,000 deaths.
With governors in nearly half of the states moving to partially reopen economic activity, Como said he needed more information about the impact of the pandemic in New York before easing restrictions on his mandate.
“When you are in a situation that you are not used to, this does not mean that you are going blind.”

To schools and markets
So far, the European continent has registered more than 1.4 million HIV infections, while more than 138,000 deaths are concentrated in Italy, the United Kingdom, Spain, France and Belgium.
But many affected and affected countries began to relax isolation and closure measures, and some allowed them to return to school.
In Germany, the authorities decided to open schools starting Monday morning in some states. In Austria, Vienna’s shopping streets have come to life with some stores open, as segregation continues in Scandinavian countries that still impose social restrictions and divergence.
In the capital Rome, Domenico Arcori, the cell official responsible for fighting the epidemic, called on citizens to exercise caution with the start of measures to reduce isolation starting Monday.
Italy will begin easing some restrictions tomorrow, opening stores, allowing family visits, and meeting in limited numbers.
“The second stage begins on Monday. We have to realize that it will be the beginning of a bigger challenge,” Arcori said, warning the Italians that the “relative freedom” that will be granted to them tomorrow will be reviewed if the epidemic spreads again.
In France, the government decided to extend the current health emergency until July 24, considering that lifting it would be “premature.”
In Britain, the epidemic has peaked, according to Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who promised to present a plan to lift isolation next week.
Heroes face death
Yesterday, the Spanish returned to enjoy outdoor sports and hiking, and many residents of Madrid, Barcelona and other cities went for a run, sometimes in groups.
Marcus Abitoa, the 42-year-old financial adviser, related that he woke up exceptionally at seven in the morning. “After weeks of isolation, I really wanted to go out, run and see the world … I was like a child on Christmas Eve,” he said.
The lifting of isolation in the country is expected to continue in stages until the end of next June.
Starting Monday, some small stores, such as hair salons, which can welcome customers individually and at an earlier date, are open, and bars and restaurants will have the right to sell their products.
However, the placement of masks will be mandatory on public transport starting Monday, as announced by Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez.

As recovery begins, the heroic role of taxi drivers in Spain is revealed, which has saved the lives of large numbers of patients and doctors alike.
Although the role of these drivers remains largely unknown, health workers consider it essential in efforts to combat the epidemic that has claimed the lives of some 25,000 people in the country.
In Madrid, the most affected region of the country, more than five hundred taxi drivers volunteered through the “Baid Taxi” application and made more than one hundred thousand free trips.
One of these soldiers, Gabby Seth, has spent the past six weeks behind the wheel. “The app alerts me when they need help, and if I’m closer to where I’m going,” he says.
Despite the risks, he says he is not afraid but very careful as he always wears masks and gloves and carefully sterilizes the car after each trip.
“Right now, we all have to contribute, even if there is something limited we can do,” added the hero’s driver.
As a result of providing free transportation services at 266 health centers in the region, medical personnel were able to visit patients in their homes to ease the pressure on health institutions.
Andrés Vega, president of Paid Taxi, says that health centers require a taxi to visit the elderly and those who need treatment and those with Covid-19.
The idea is to reduce the number of people who go to health centers, so that they do not become infected or pass it on to medical personnel.
“A taxi driver can make ten to twenty trips a day for medical personnel. Instead of patients going to health centers, doctors or nurses visit them,” added Vega.
“This has contributed greatly to stopping the spread of the virus, helping to contain the virus and protecting healthcare workers from infection,” he added.
For her part, nurse Sarah Del Carmen Vincente says: “For me, her role is absolutely necessary.”
“They take you to people’s homes, they wait for you and then they take you to your next destination. They are always on duty, always present, with a smile on their faces.”
“They always ask about our situation, about our psychological state and the condition of the sick, and if the situation improves, as if they were part of their family.”
Videos of doctors and nurses greet live video clips of taxi drivers waving at their work, and drivers cry when medical staff greet them when they arrive at medical centers.
The driver, Saith, whose wife also works in the same profession, says: “It was sad to see the health workers fall apart.”
