The number of people infected with the Corona virus around the world approached two and a half million at a time when several European countries began to reduce isolation measures while preserving social divergence measures, while the World Health Organization recommended that any lifting of general isolation measures be done gradually.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel indicated that "moving ahead quickly would be a mistake, which is what worries me," calling for maintaining discipline. "We are still at the beginning of the epidemic and also far from getting out of the impasse," she said.

The famous "beer" festival in Munich, which was to be held next September, was canceled, as local authorities considered that "the stakes are very high", with more than six million visitors, a third of them from abroad, especially Asia.

In most of the countries concerned, cultural centers, bars, restaurants and gyms remain closed, as well as the banning of concerts and sports competitions that usually witness large gatherings, until late August. Schools and high schools will gradually reopen.

France, Spain and Italy, the three countries most affected by the epidemic on the European continent, are also preparing to take the first measures to lift the isolation in the coming days and weeks.

Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte announced on Tuesday that he will show in detail "before the weekend" the measures that the country will take to ease restrictions imposed on relaunching the economic wheel and gradually getting out of the crisis caused by the emerging Corona virus.

Italy, the country worst hit by the new Corona virus in Europe, has been implementing isolation measures since 9 March. Conte will speak on Tuesday about the crisis before Parliament before the European Council on Thursday.

On Monday, France took its first step towards easing restrictions, allowing again to visit inmates in elderly homes, but within conditions. 

In the United Kingdom, the isolation imposed on March 23 has been extended for at least three more weeks.

In total, the virus infected until Tuesday morning, more than two million and 482 thousand people in the world, of whom more than 170 thousand died, and more than 652 thousand recovered, according to the Worldometer website specializing in monitoring the victims of the virus.

Spain deaths For
its part, Spain on Tuesday calculated 430 deaths from the newly created Corona virus in 24 hours, a slight increase compared to 399 deaths recorded on Monday as announced by the Ministry of Health, raising the total death toll to more than 21 thousand.

The daily death toll in Covid-19 is generally high on Tuesday, due to the late arrival of regional data on mortality at its weekend.

The total death toll has reached 21,282 in Spain, one of the countries hardest hit by the epidemic in the world, and the number of confirmed cases has exceeded 204,000.

Treatment for all.
The General Assembly of the United Nations unanimously adopted its 193 members on Monday, a resolution calling for "fair access to future vaccines" for the "Covid-19" pandemic.

The General Assembly resolution affirmed the "critical leadership role of the World Health Organization", which recently faced an unprecedented attack from Washington.

This demand comes to enable the countries of the world to obtain a vaccine for this deadly pandemic, at a time when many drug manufacturers and research laboratories are running a race against time to find a successful vaccine, with such a huge financial burden on it.

For its part, the World Health Organization recommended today, Tuesday, that any lifting of the general isolation measures imposed to contain the new Corona virus should be done gradually. She said that if the restrictions were eased prematurely, there would be a return to infection. 

"The general isolation measures have proven effective, and everyone should prepare for a new lifestyle that allows society to work while continuing to contain the virus," said Takashi Kasai, regional director for the Western Pacific region at the World Organization.

President against Doctors
In Brazil, President Jair Bolsonaro announced his desire to end the social isolation policies imposed in his country due to the outbreak of the Coronavirus.

Nearly all Brazilian states are subject to domestic quarantine measures, and some have even announced that measures will continue until mid-May.

The Brazilian president, described as the far-right, sacked Health Minister Luiz Henrique Mandita last week, after differences of opinion over the crisis of the outbreak of the Coronavirus.

Bolsonaro has consistently recommended to citizens to use non-WHO drugs to treat the virus, while the Minister of Health has always called for the observance of international warnings in this regard.

The Brazilian president has described Corona as just a "small flu" and criticized the governors who announced quarantine measures, and took his supporters to the streets at a time when it was proposed to impose social isolation policies.

Corona virus deaths in Brazil reached 2,045, while the number of infections reached 40,581.

Wuhan
In the Chinese city of Wuhan, where the virus originated and spread globally, life is slowly resuming as social and wedding photos of the beaches spread on social media.

Even if a full return to normalcy would not take place immediately in the city of 11 million people, who had been isolated from the outside world for 76 days and removed from isolation on April 8.

The commission responsible for preventing corruption within the Council of Europe warned that "the emergence of a Covid-19 epidemic increases the risk of corruption" and the health sector is particularly vulnerable to this.
