New measures in Germany

Several German states and cities are introducing new measures to slow the spread of the coronavirus after 2,828 new cases of infection were recorded in one day.

The increase is the strongest since April, when the pandemic in Germany was at its worst.

The German government warned on Wednesday that the country could lose control of the infection trail.

Among the new measures is the ban on staying in hotels in states where you do not live if you come from places with high infection.

Many acute patients in France

Although fewer people become seriously ill, there have been 80 deaths from corona in the last 24 hours.

Almost half of the emergency beds in Paris hospitals are now full of corona patients. In recent days, international agencies registered a new French record of infected and sick people.

All bars in Paris have been ordered to close. President Emanuelle Macron says it is relevant to introduce new and stricter measures in various places in the country.

Wave number two in Spain

Also in Madrid, more than 40 percent of intensive care beds are full of corona patients, reports El País. The country is in its second wave of virus infection, the newspaper writes.

Madrid and several other Spanish cities are closed. The inhabitants can only leave them in very special cases.

The official death toll in Spain is well over 32,000, but that doesn’t include many unrecorded cases from the first round.

The Spanish police maintain control of one of the roads in Madrid.  You are only allowed to inform the city if you have a particularly valid reason.

Increase in nursing homes in Sweden

From several Swedish cities, there are reports of an increase in infection among the elderly, reports Swedish Television. In week 39, authorities reported 51 cases in nursing homes, 20 more than the previous week.

Many are concerned that the infection will rise further when the visitation ban is lifted, SVT reports.

Mandatory with mask in Italy

Despite the infection being relatively low in Italy, authorities have issued a decree requiring bandages everywhere outdoors. Those who don’t risk a fine of around NOK 10,000.

– We must be strict to avoid even stricter measures that will slow down production and social activities, said Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte.

In Italy, there have been 36,000 deaths per corona, reports the AP news agency.

Record in Czech Republic and Poland

Before the first time, the Czech Republic had registered more than 4,000 new cases of corona in the course of one day.

The number of deaths is also increasing more dramatically than before.

The government declared a state of emergency and introduced strict restrictions on the number of people who can attend social gatherings, both indoors and outdoors.

Poland has detected more than 3,000 cases of infection and recorded 75 corona-related deaths in the last 24 hours, says the Health Ministry. The number of new cases of infection is a new 24-hour record in the country.

Authorities will likely expand the number of so-called yellow and red zones, where there are stricter infection control measures, such as bandages.

Prohibits getting off in several cities

Brussels and Scotland are tightening.

In the Belgian capital, bars, clubs and cafes are due to close next month.

All pubs in Glasgow and Edinburgh have been told to close their doors from Friday. In other parts of Scotland, restaurants must finish serving by 6pm

Millions of infected in Brazil

The Brazilian authorities have registered five million infected. They are soon approaching a dismal new record, Reuters reports. The country soon listed 150,000 deaths from covid.

While the country’s experts warn of large numbers of dark people and a high risk of infection, President Jair Bolsonaro has urged people to live normally.

Best development in Denmark

The strict measures appear to have had an effect in Denmark and infection rates are declining, the country’s health authorities report.

They maintain the current restrictions until October. This means, among other things, that travelers must wear bandages and that restaurants must close at 10 p.m.
