THE ESSENTIAL

  • Almost a month after the start of confinement in France, the drop in hospitalizations and the number of people in intensive care cannot be denied: there are 12,479 people in hospital (-217) and 1,059 in intensive care (-35).
  • The number of cases recorded worldwide should reach 7 million today: while it is slowing sharply in Europe, the pandemic is accelerating in the rest of the world. The 400,000 death mark should also be reached.

8:31 a.m .: It gets worse and worse in South America

Brazil has been the third most bereaved country in the world since Thursday (35,930 deaths), behind the United States (109,791 deaths) and the United Kingdom with 40,465 deaths. Despite this, the governor of Rio de Janeiro announced the relaxation of containment measures from Saturday. The political situation is still tense in Brazil. Regional health officials accused the government of Jair Bolsonaro on Saturday of "making invisible" the dead of the coronavirus, after an official of the ministry for Health questioned the official assessment.

In Peru, which has officially more than 5,000 dead, the Machu Picchu site is developing protocols to reopen the Inca city, the country's tourist jewel, on July 1. Peru, the second most affected country in Latin America by the coronavirus pandemic behind Brazil, is at the same time facing a shortage of medical oxygen. And in Panama, the government on Saturday ordered a return to containment in the capital and a neighboring province after an outbreak of cases of new coronavirus, a week of relaxation of measures.

8:22 a.m.: 399,789

This is the official number of deaths linked to Covid-19 in the world according to figures from the American Johns-Hopkins University, which refers to the matter. The 400,000 mark should therefore be crossed today.
