08.54. Illa assures that all regrowths in Spain "are under control"
The Minister of Health, Salvador Illa, assured in an interview on the Cadena Ser that all the outbreaks detected in Spain "are under control" and the most worrying, the one detected in Aragon, "we are very pending". Regarding the data on the numbers of deaths from coronavirus , Illa has insisted that the Health data are those transmitted by the Autonomous Communities. "As of May 11, we move to individualized information that allows more precision. It is true that at the peak of the epidemic the priority was to save lives," said the minister. As for the 13,000 deaths that Fernando Simón claimed not to know how to locate last Friday, Illa has reiterated that they are indeed 13,000 more dead, but that they cannot be linked to the coronavirus because the test had not been performed.
Asked why the worst day of these 98 days of state of alarm has been, the minister has assured that there were many, but that probably the worst of all was "the day that the presence at the wake had to be restricted and the day there was than asking the president to extend the state of alarm on March 28. "
Illa has also insisted that caution must be maintained because "we have not defeated the coronavirus, we have controlled it. In Europe we have controlled it, but the virus is still with us." Thus, he explained regarding the arrival of travelers from third countries that do not belong to the Schegen area, that "at this time only third countries that have residence can travel to Europe. That is, from America only those who have residence or I work or they are our compatriots. This week we are working with the groups of which countries to put controls on. "
08.27. The Government extends the controls at internal borders with Portugal until June 30
The Government has extended the controls at internal borders with Portugal, which were reinstated due to the health crisis caused by the coronavirus until June 30. According to the order published in the BOE, this measure seeks to add a "reasonable time" once Spain has completely passed the new normal, recovering full mobility between provinces this Sunday. The measure has been taken after having carried out consultations with neighboring Member States, taking into account the necessary bilaterality of the measures adopted.
08.26. South Korea has the fewest number of coronavirus infections in almost a month
South Korea has reported 17 new cases of coronavirus registered on Sunday, the lowest number in nearly a month, although health authorities warned that they are still concerned about the appearance of large outbreaks in Seoul and other areas. The 17 cases - six were imported and 11 were locally transmitted - represent the lowest number in the Asian country since last May 26, bringing the total number of infections detected to 12,438, as reported by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention Infectious Diseases of Korea (KCDC).
08.18. They create a test to detect coronavirus antibodies with technology to search for life in extreme places
Antibody tests to find out if we have had the coronavirus have become popular during de-escalation and with them, terms such as seroprevalence, herd immunity, marker or immunoglobulin, reports Teresa Guerrero . The immune system makes different types of antibodies that circulate in the blood to protect us from attacks by bacteria or viruses such as Sars-CoV-2. Most of the commercial analyzes that are being carried out in Spain to find traces of Covid-19 in our body are of the ELISA type (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) and allow the detection of IgM type antibodies (immunoglobulins) (they are generated to combat infection and reveal if it is still active) and IgG (provide protection and usually take time to form after infection or being vaccinated).
When the pandemic began, a team of scientists from the Center for Astrobiology (CAB / CSIC-INTA) came up with the idea of applying the test that they have been using in their studies of extraterrestrial life for years to detect the coronavirus in people. Not only has it worked, but, as stated by Víctor Parro, director of the CAB, his analysis has a greater ability to detect antibodies than other methods because it uses various virus proteins as a "hook".
07.47. Madrid children play again in the playgrounds of the parks from this Monday
The children's areas of the capital's parks, which had been closed as a preventive measure against the advance of coronaviru s, as well as the parks themselves, will be able to be used again starting this Monday and will be disinfected daily. It was the last park space left to open during the de-escalation after the City Council allowed entry, first in the small ones (the district ones), and later in the 19 large parks in the capital, such as El Retirement. Now it will be the smallest who enjoy these areas, which will be cleaned and disinfected daily, although the City Council has asked parents to be "vigilant" to prevent minors from being in them in safe conditions.
07.13. Germany confirms 537 new coronavirus cases in one day

The Chinese National Health Commission has reported 18 new cases of coronaviruses detected on Sunday, 7 of them from abroad and 11 locally, of which 9 were registered in Beijing for 22 the day before. Beijing increased the level of emergency response by Covid-19 last week in an attempt to curb the massive spread of the outbreak detected in the capital's main market, which so far has left 236 confirmed cases. The chief of epidemiology at the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Wu Zunyou, said last Thursday that the outbreak was already "under control" thanks to measures taken to contain it and that the curve would "gradually flatten out." .
