China, India and Brazil are experiencing an alarming increase in the incidence of the emerging Corona virus, which continues to decline in Europe.
The Chinese authorities considered the situation in Beijing in relation to the pandemic "very serious", fearing a second outbreak of the epidemic.
After 31 new injuries were recorded in Beijing, the Chinese authorities on Wednesday canceled more than 1,200 flights from the capital´s major airports, reinforcing earlier restrictions on nearly 30 housing compounds.
In India, the situation is also alarming, with the death toll rising to two thousand in one day, raising the country´s total to 11,903 cases.
The sudden rise, albeit in part due to a review of the figures in Bombay and New Delhi, reflects the acceleration of infections at a rate of approximately 11,000 confirmed cases per day, while the Indian health sector has reached its maximum capacity amid expert warnings that the country has not yet reached the height of the epidemic.
New Delhi authorities expect to register more than half a million cases of Covid-19 by late July in the capital of 20 million people, an increase of nearly 20 times in less than two months.
And the pandemic continues to invade Latin America and the Caribbean, which has crossed the threshold of 80 thousand deaths, more than half of them in Brazil, which has 45,241 deaths, and is the second most-registered country in the world after the United States. Yesterday, Brazil recorded 37,300 injuries and 1,338 deaths.
In the United States, it recorded 116,963 deaths, a figure that exceeds the toll of the US military during World War I.
In the absence of an effective vaccine or treatment, closures are still somehow the main weapon for controlling COFED-19 in governments facing increased political and economic pressure.
Arab, Algeria announced 121 injuries and 11 new deaths.
Kuwait announced 575 new injuries and 3 deaths.
In Riyadh, the Saudi Ministry of Health announced 39 deaths and 4,919 injuries.
The Iraqi Ministry of Health announced that 1554 injuries and 61 deaths were recorded.
Meanwhile, good news has been welcomed on the scientific research front as the extensive British "Recovere" study concluded that treatment with dexamethasone, a widely available steroid stimulant, could reduce deaths among Corona patients.
WHO President Tidros Adhanom Gebresus congratulated scientists on "life-saving scientific penetration".
In Russia, clinical trials began on two prototype vaccines for two groups of 38 volunteer patients.
Moreover, another encouraging indicator has emerged, if Covid-19 is brought under control in Europe, the continent most affected by the pandemic with more than 2.44 million injured, 189 thousand and 155 deaths.
