The novel coronavirus pandemic has killed at least 1,189,892 people worldwide since the WHO office in China reported the onset of the disease in late December 2019. After a first wave in the spring, many countries are once again forced to take new measures in the face of the deteriorating health situation.
In France, the reconfinement began this Friday, October 30.
But the first to be imposed this measure are the Palestinians.
Our correspondent Alice Froussard gives us an update on Ramallah.
We will go to China, where the epidemic appeared, where our correspondent Stéphane Lagarde is located.
We will also join Frédéric Faux in Sweden, a country which deplores an outbreak of new cases, but which has not imposed drastic measures and Florence Labruyère in Hungary, a country which has not decreed any emergency measures, unlike its neighbors .
