According to a report by the Japan Broadcasting Association (NHK), the number of confirmed cases in Japan surpassed 200,000 at 12:40 pm on the 21st. As of 8:30 pm, there had been an increase of 1,804 cases. The number of infected people in Japan had exceeded 201,760. A 2,964 people died.

The Netherlands, Belgium, Italy and Germany have successively announced the entry ban of civil aircraft carrying British passengers.

The director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Robert Redfield, said on the 20th that the CDC has accepted the decision of the Advisory Committee on Immunization (ACIP) to recommend that US citizens over 18 years of age administer the Modena vaccine. In an interview with CNN on Sunday (12/20), the senior advisor to the US government’s Wuhan pneumonia vaccination program “Operation Warp Speed”, Moncef Slaoui said that the Modena vaccine is “It is very possible to“ give the first injection on Monday morning. ”He noted that because the Modena vaccine does not require low-temperature administration like the Pfizer vaccine, the administration process is simpler.
Furthermore, Schröwer said it is “unlikely” that the currently available vaccines will have no effect on the new variant of the coronavirus emerging in the UK. He said: “So far, I don’t think there is a variant of the virus that can resist the vaccine. We cannot rule out this possibility, but it does not currently exist.”
Schlowe also said that people who have been infected with Wuhan pneumonia should also get vaccinated. “We know that the infection does not cause a strong immune response and it will weaken over time.” For those who have passed Wufei, vaccination is safe. “This has already happened in clinical trials. The people who participated in the trial were infected or in the course of the disease when they started vaccination, so they are safe.”
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) published an updated version of the vaccination guidelines on its website last Saturday (12/19), recommending that people who have had a severe allergic reaction to any ingredient in the Wufei vaccine should not receive the Wufei vaccine. A severe allergic reaction is defined as hospitalization or treatment with adrenaline. Symptoms include shortness of breath, throat tightness, nausea, and dizziness. The CDC added that people with a history of other vaccines or allergies to injections should ask their doctors if they can receive the Wufei vaccine. People who are allergic to oral medications or have a mild reaction to the vaccine should be able to receive it. If an allergic reaction occurs after the first dose of Wufei vaccine, the second dose should not be given.
