• Coronavirus: the map of Covid-19 outbreaks in Spain

Does heat affect coronavirus ? What is the ideal temperature for the virus? According to scientists from the University of Oxford who have analyzed the high concentration of coronavirus in wastewater at different temperatures, the ideal temperature for Covid-19 is 4ºC, the temperature of a refrigerator in any home. Little by little, more is being learned about the virus, which keeps the Basque Country and Catalonia in check for the active outbreaks detected.

08.42. Delirium, psychosis, or brain inflammation are some of the neurological effects of the coronavirus

The neurological complications of the coronavirus can include delirium, nerve damage, strokes and a rare type of brain inflammation, although the researchers are not clear, in the latter case, whether it is caused by the coronavirus or the immune reaction, according to a study published by the Brain magazine.

The study of University College London (UCL) and its University Hospital (UCLH) was made with a sample of 43 patients, some of whom did not experience severe respiratory symptoms, but the first and main ones were neurological. According to the research, "it appears" that the prevalence of a "rare and sometimes fatal" inflammatory condition, acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM), is increasing due to the pandemic, a UCL statement said.

08.32. Education authorizes the EvAU to be virtual for students abroad

Students studying outside Spain will be able to take the university entrance exam (EBAU / EvAU) virtually if they reside in countries whose health conditions prevent the application of the usual face-to-face procedure before July 31, the maximum date set for its celebration. . This is established in a resolution of the Secretary of State for Education published in the Official State Gazette (BOE), which regulates alternative measures for conducting the tests. When they are in countries where exceptional sanitary measures are in force that prevent them from being carried out in person under the usual conditions before July 31st, all or part of the students may do them virtually.

Federal deputy for the Socialism and Freedom Party (PSOL) Marcelo Freixo has announced that a lawsuit is being prepared before the Prosecutor's Office against the Brazilian president, Jair Bolsonaro , for a crime against public health, after he appeared before the media without mask once it was made public that he had tested positive for coronavirus .

"The president already knew that he was infected when he took off his mask during the interview, deliberately putting the lives of others in danger," Freixo wrote on his personal Twitter account. This "flagrant crime", as Freixo has described it, occurred on Tuesday, when Bolsonaro appeared before a small number of journalists, previously selected, to assure them that he was "fine" after having tested positive for the Covid-19 .

The coronavirus pandemic has caused at least 677 deaths in Honduras, while infections rose to 25,428 in the Central American country on Tuesday, the state-run National Risk Management System (Sinager) reported. Of 1,537 new PCR laboratory tests in the last 24 hours, 763 were positive, most of them -388- in the department of Francisco Morazán, in the center of the country, where Tegucigalpa, the capital, is located, the national chain said. radio and television.

The Chinese National Health Commission has announced that the Asian country registered 7 new infections with coronavirus , all of them diagnosed to travelers from abroad, the so-called "imported" cases.

06.06. The Melbourne reconfinement will cost nearly € 3.7 billion

The confinement for the outbreak of the coronavirus in the city of Melbourne will cost Australia about 6,000 million Australian dollars (4,168 million US dollars or 3,695 million euros), said the head of the Treasury office of the oceanic country, Josh Frydenberg. The second most populous city in the country, with around 5 million people, will be placed in isolation again this morning and for six weeks, although on this second occasion the confinement will be harder than that experienced between mid-March and Month of May. In addition, the authorities of the state of Victoria, whose capital is Melbourne, also implemented the measure in the municipality of Mitchell, about 77 kilometers north of the regional capital and with about 44,000 inhabitants.

05.50. Oxford scientists assure that the ideal temperature of the coronavirus is 4ºC

"The ideal temperature for the coronavirus to stabilize and activate is 4ºC," says Tom Jefferson of the Center for Evidence-Based Medicine (CEBM) at the University of Oxford, in an interview for The Daily Telegraph . Jefferson has analyzed the high concentration of wastewater at this temperature. Furthermore, their theory coincides with an investigation by the University of Hong Kong in which the researchers cultivated the viruses for 14 days, checking their life time on different surfaces and concluding that the coronavirus is very stable when it is at 4ºC. . At that temperature the coronavirus can last up to two weeks.

05.45. Investigation of whether EPO could attenuate severe coronavirus progression

Erythropoietin (EPO), a medicine for anemia, could attenuate the severe progression of COVID-19, according to researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Experimental Medicine in Göttingen (Germany), who point out that the growth factor could mitigate the serious progression of disease and protect patients from long-term neurological effects when coronavirus attacks the brain.

Initial case studies indicate a positive effect of Epo. For this reason, researchers are planning a randomized clinical trial to systematically investigate the effects of Epo treatment in patients with Covid-19 . In late March, a patient with severe Covid-19 symptoms was admitted to an Iranian hospital. Because the patient also had low blood values, doctors prescribed hematopoietic growth factor Epo. Seven days after the start of treatment, the patient was able to leave the hospital.
