The war between the US and China over the

coronavirus

coronavirus

in the US long before what was said, has urged that the origin of the

coronavirus

in the US

be investigated

, since "with the

biological weapons

that the country has, they must be subject to scrutiny."

has had a "notable impact" on the levels of conflict and violence in the world by generating more incidents of civil unrest and political instability, according to the Institute of Economy and Peace in a report released this Thursday.

The annual document - now in its 15th edition -, which evaluates 163 states and territories and covers 99.7% of the world's population, reveals that the average level of global peace deteriorated in 2020 by 0.07%, with improvements identified in 87 countries and impairments in 73.

Their findings show "a world in which the conflicts and crises that emerged in the last decade have begun to subside, but only to be replaced by a new wave of tension and uncertainty, a result of the

Covid-19

pandemic

and growing tensions. among many of the major powers. "

Australia limits use of AstraZeneca coronavirus vaccine to people over 60

Australia will

recommend that only people over 60 receive the vaccine against the

coronavirus

of

AstraZeneca

, as announced by

the Minister of Health of the country, Greg Hunt, after a series of blood clots in those who received inoculation.

Australia has administered 3.3 million doses of the

AstraZeneca

vaccine

and has been linked to 60 cases of blood clots, the government said.

So far, two people have died, which, according to Hunt, has prompted the policy change.

"The government puts safety above all else," Hunt told reporters in Canberra.

"This updated advice received today is based on new evidence demonstrating an increased risk of very rare disease (thrombocytopenia syndrome) in the age group 50 to 59 years."

In April, Australia took steps to limit the use of the AstraZeneca vaccine to people over the age of 50.

China focuses on the US and ensures that now it is time to investigate the origin of the coronavirus there

A high-level Chinese expert said the United States should be the priority in the next phase of investigations into the origin of the coronavirus after a study showed that the disease could have been circulating there as early as December 2019, state media said.

The study, published this week by the

US National Institutes of Health

(NIH), showed that at least seven people in five different US states were infected with

SARS-CoV-2

, weeks before the first official report.

Zeng Guang

, chief epidemiologist at the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, told the state tabloid

Global Times

that attention should now shift to the United States, which was slow to test people in the early stages of the outbreak, and that it is also doing it in the home of many biological laboratories.

The Japanese government has announced that it plans to lift the state of emergency for the

coronavirus

in the capital Tokyo on June 20, a month before the start of the

Olympic Games.

Tokyo and other cities have been under emergency measures for the virus since April 25, with provisions that force bars and restaurants to close early and prevent the sale of alcoholic beverages.

The government indicated that Tokyo and the other cities will be left with more lax measures, when the state of emergency expires on June 20.

"We would like to consult today (with the experts) on putting 10 prefectures ... under quasi-emergency measures," Yasutoshi Nishimura, minister in charge of the coronavirus response, said at the beginning of a meeting with doctors.
