In Czech Republic the number of people infected with corona continues to skyrocket. With nearly 15,000 new cases in 24 hours, authorities reported a daily record Thursday. In total, more than 4,400 people are receiving treatment at the hospital.
In the Czech Republic, almost all stores have been closed since 6 am on Thursday morning. Grocery stores and pharmacies are excluded. In addition, exit restrictions are imposed: citizens only have to leave the house or apartment to go to work, buy essentials or visit the doctor and family. The state of emergency has been in force since October 5. The Czech Republic has almost 10.7 million inhabitants, of which a total of almost 194,000 have been infected by the corona virus.
He too Slovak Prime Minister Igor Matovic does not rule out a lockdown for his country after a record increase of 2,202 new corona infections in one day. To avoid an equally rapid increase in the number of cases as in the neighboring country of the Czech Republic, it can only help to “seal the whole country”. Corona’s national crisis team will make a decision on Thursday. The number of new infections was 322 per 100,000 inhabitants in 14 days.
Ireland he hardened his measurements considerably. Since that night, the highest of the five levels of measures has been in effect there for six weeks. Concretely, this means: if you can, you have to work from home in Ireland before 1 December. Stores that do not sell essentials are closed. Meetings with other households are prohibited with some exceptions. Schools remain open. Outdoor sports are allowed within a five kilometer radius. In Ireland, around 52,000 infections have so far been recorded among the approximately 5 million inhabitants. In terms of new infections, Ireland is in the middle (270), so it is not as affected as the Czech Republic.
In Italy the Lombardy region is particularly affected. Due to the rapid increase in the number of infections there, night-out bans have been in place since Thursday night for the roughly 10 million citizens. The northern Italian region also includes Milan and Bergamo. People can only leave their home between 11 pm and 5 am for important reasons such as work or illness. It has been proven that a total of almost 450,000 people have been infected with the corona virus in the Mediterranean country. In ECDC statistics, Italy (172) still performs reasonably well in a European comparison.
Spain (ECDC value: 347) meanwhile, it surpassed the one million mark for corona infections. The Health Ministry announced that 1,005,295 people in the country of 47 million people have tested positive for the virus since the start of the pandemic. In the capital Madrid, despite high figures from the Crown, the two-week shutdown ordered by the central government against the will of the regional government ends on Friday. The city is considering closing severely affected urban areas and a night curfew. This possibility was also discussed for the whole of Spain. However, the parliament would have to accept the declaration of the state of emergency, which was considered unlikely.
In Bulgaria It is mandatory to wear protective masks outdoors from Thursday. The measure, which is highly controversial in the country (ECDC: 136), should initially apply until the end of November.
too Poland has a record number of new corona infections. 12,107 new cases were reported in 24 hours, the Ministry of Health announced in Warsaw on Thursday. During this period, there were 168 deaths related to Covid 19 disease. More than 4,000 people have died since the pandemic began. The entire country is expected to be declared a Red Zone soon, as reported by the PAP news agency, citing government spokesman Piotr Mueller. This is accompanied by other restrictions, such as limiting meetings to a maximum of ten people. There are no plans for exit restrictions nationwide, he said in Warsaw. (SDA)
