«Back off, Ayuso! Back off! »It sounded in Madrid on Sunday. Thousands of Madrilenians roam the streets with masks, little distance and anger in the stomach. Anger against regional president Isabel Díaz Ayuso (41). The city has been closed due to the dramatic Corona numbers, but only partially: In 37 of the so-called health zones, residents can only leave the house for good reason. More than 850,000 people are affected by the restrictions. The harsh measure especially affected the south of the city: the poor neighborhoods.
“This is Crazy! We should stay inside, but we can go downtown to work!” A young Spaniard criticized the partial closure of Madrid to television reporters; this should initially apply for two weeks. On Monday, regional president Ayuso He also met with the president of the Spanish government, Pedro Sánchez (48), to find a common strategy: the situation in Corona is out of control throughout the country.
Spain and its capital Madrid are not the only ones. “We are facing a serious situation,” warned WHO regional director Hans Kluge (51) with a view to all of Europe. In Switzerland, too, the Federal Office of Public Health (FOPH) reported 1,095 new infections in 72 hours on Monday.
Shortly before the fall break, the second wave has particularly large cities under control. As far as possible, governments try to avoid a total lockdown, but sometimes there is no other way.
Tel Aviv had rejoiced too soon
Despite about 30 degrees of sun: a visit to the beach will be nothing. “Drink coffee, drink beer, have fun!” – Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s (70) appeal on May 26 came too early. Israel has been locked up again since Friday, initially for three weeks. The population is fine: According to media reports in Tel Aviv, there were hardly any cars or people during the weekend. Only a hundred people demonstrated against the closure.
Paris doubts about the second wave
Oral and nasal protection has been mandatory almost everywhere in and around Paris for the past three weeks. But that did not save the French capital from disaster. There are currently about 415 new infections per 100,000 inhabitants each day (average 7 days). And in other parts of the country it also looks bleak. The crown rules have already been tightened in Toulouse, Nice, Bordeaux and Marseille, for example, with regard to going out, bars and the sale of alcohol late at night. But the government is still hesitant to take action at the national level, fearing the effects on the economy.
Quarantine list for Vienna
Vienna is colored deep red on the Corona map, especially compared to the surrounding areas. Vienna is the only Austrian city on the FOPH quarantine list. While Austria still has the general spread under control, the Danube city is severely affected. In the last two weeks, an average of 233 people were infected per 100,000 inhabitants.
It was O’zapft in Munich
Oktoberfest was canceled, but the people of Munich insisted on celebrating: 54 restaurants in the city center blew up the Wirtshaus-Wiesn over the weekend. The Bavarian capital has long had a crown problem. On Monday, Munich decided to require a mask in certain public places and streets in the city center. The number of people who can meet in Munich will also be reduced: just five people or two households, either privately or in a restaurant.
London is shaking with the lock
The British capital is furious. Some 1,000 protesters protested against Corona’s measures in central London on Sunday. There were clashes with the police in Trafalgar Square. Tensions could intensify in the coming days, because the policy signals are clear: new crown rules are coming. Just which one? And for how long? It is not clear. In any case, the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan (49), had already said that he no longer wanted to wait in view of the rapidly increasing number of cases. Boris Johnson (56), for his part, said on Sunday that “measures should be intensified to reduce the infection rate.”
