states of emergency.

Andalusia maintains 260 municipalities in a situation of "extreme risk" for

exceeding 250

confirmed

coronavirus cases

in the last 14 days, 16 weeks after the end of the state of alarm, including four provincial capitals -Almería, Huelva, Málaga and Seville-, in addition to three other cities with more than 100,000 inhabitants;

specifically, Algeciras (Cádiz), Marbella (Málaga) and Dos Hermanas (Seville).

Compared to last week, the remaining four capitals (Cádiz, Córdoba, Granada and Jaén), in addition to Jerez de la Frontera (Cádiz), dropped this rate.

In total, there

are 156 fewer localities

-37.5% less- in "extreme risk" by Covid than there were seven days ago.

The percentage of citizens residing in one of these municipalities is reduced to half of the total, 52.86%, compared to 86.63% a week ago.

In addition, 18 of these 260 municipalities in a situation of "extreme risk" distributed among all the Andalusian provinces

exceed the rate of 1,000 cases

in the last two weeks, although only two exceed 5,000 population inhabitants;

specifically, Quesada (Jaén) and Cantillana (Seville).

The Sants festivities end with another night of altercations and crowds

The main festival of the Sants district of Barcelona has ended with another new night, the third, of crowds and altercations in the street, which

have forced the agents of the Urban Guard and the Mossos

d'Esquadra

to intervene

.

For the third consecutive night, a few thousand young people concentrated in the Espanya Industrial park to continue with the practice of drinking bottles and the security forces had to act to

evacuate the central part at around four in the morning due

to the refusal of the attendees to leave, when the official party had long since ended.

Police sources have confirmed that incidents have occurred again, such as the

throwing of objects at the police such as bottles

by young people concentrated in the square.

At least

one person has been injured

when falling from a height of a few meters while trying to jump a fence and the emergency services have intervened and transferred him to a health center.

8.14 Japan extends its fourth state of emergency to 21 prefectures due to the advance of the delta variant

The Government of Japan has expanded its fourth state of emergency due to the health situation derived from the

coronavirus

to now include a total of 21 prefectures in the face of the advance of the

delta variant.

These exceptional measures will last until September 12 and, in the same way, "intensive" measures will be applied to 12 prefectures, as the Japanese radio station NHK has pointed out.

This decision comes at a time when the delta variant continues to spread in the Asian country, while the number of patients in serious condition is approaching record numbers.

Many people, especially in the vicinity of Tokyo, cannot enter hospitals, as

the health system is at the limit of its capacity.

The latest count of infections nationwide registers

24,200 new infections

, while Tokyo has added 4,227 of them.

The figures for the capital are lower than those of the previous week, although health experts insist on being cautious as the situation is at a "disaster level."

07.44 The Australian city of Melbourne extends the lockdown

The

confinement

of the second Australian city, Melbourne, will be extended beyond Thursday, the date scheduled for its completion, as explained this Sunday by the leader of the state of Victoria, Dan Andrews.

After almost four weeks of confinement in that southeastern Australian state, the authorities registered 92 new cases of

Covid

in the last 24 hours.

"We still have too many cases in the community to allow us to open up and give back these freedoms that we long for," said Andrews, who did not indicate the timeframe for this extension.

The situation is worse in neighboring New South Wales, where the country's most populous city, Sydney, is located.

Only on Sunday they reported 1,218 cases.

Relatively safe from the

coronavirus

for most of the

pandemic,

Australia has faced several outbreaks of Covid since mid-June due to the entry of the contagious delta variant in mid-June.

The country has recorded more than 51,000 cases and nearly 1,000 deaths among its 25 million inhabitants since the start of the pandemic.
