The situation in Italy and Spain, which were the most serious in Europe, is improving. The factory is planning to turn around again, and the restrictions on going out are also easing. But in Russia, the opposite is true, with more than 6,000 patients a day.

<Reporter> On the

26th of the local time, the number of Corona 19 deaths in Italy increased by 260 from the previous day.

Cumulative deaths are still the second after the United States, with 2,600 deaths, but it is only six weeks that the number of deaths per day fell to 200.

With 220,000 confirmed people, Spain, the second largest in the world, has also spread.

[Salvador Iya / Spanish Health Minister: Today we have the best figures so far. The increase rate of confirmed patients decreased from 35% to 0.8% on March 14th.] As the

Corona19 growth slumped, the Italian and Spanish governments began to ease mitigation measures.

Italy has agreed to normalize the operation of many companies and factories from the 4th of next month, and Spain has eased some restrictions on going out to children under the age of 14, which have been in effect since last month.

On the other hand, the situation in Corona19 in Russia is getting worse.

In Russia, yesterday (26th) more than 6,300 additional confirmed persons per day occurred, the highest number per day since the end of January.

In the capital city of Moscow alone, more than 2,900 confirmed people, and in St. Petersburg, 50 medical personnel were infected.

Russian health officials say they will keep restrictions on movement, including self-containment, by mid-May.

The number of corona19 confirmed cases in Africa has exceeded 30,000, and the death toll was over 1,300.
