Several European countries have revealed gradual and reversible plans to revitalize the economy, but without risking a new wave of the Corona virus epidemic (Covid-19), which is still hitting the world healthily and economically, while China, the cradle of the epidemic, announced yesterday that the annual cycle The parliament, which has great importance in the communist regime, will open on May 22, in a sign of victory over the virus.
In Europe, the need to limit economic and social damage has prompted many countries to put forward progressive, reversible plans to revitalize social life and economic activity.
But again allowing children to go out, as in Spain, and back to school, as in France, raises concerns.
And the British authorities are seeking in the meantime to know whether there is a link between the epidemic and a serious disease that has so far affected a small number of children, as confirmed yesterday the Minister of Health Matt Hancock.
The disease resembles Kawasaki syndrome, which affects blood vessels in young children, the causes of which are still not specified. About 20 unconfirmed cases of this disease have been detected in the Parisian region, according to the local newspaper, La Depeche de Midi.
In France, Prime Minister Edouard Philippe presented a road map the day before yesterday to gradually restart the country from May 11, warning that "we must live with the virus."
This plan includes extensive checks, gradually reopening schools, reopening shops (but without cafes and restaurants), and enforcing protective masks on public transportation.
But the French Prime Minister also stressed that "unless there are indications available, we will not begin to exit from isolation on May 11th."
And in Germany, wearing a protective mask became obligatory, as of yesterday, in Berlin in the shops, after imposing it previously put masks on public transport.
However, the German authorities called on the population to be cautious in the face of the epidemic, for the first time since mid-April, the rate of transmission of infection rose again to 1.0, which means that each patient transmits the infection to one other person.
In Spain, where children were allowed out again from Sunday, the roadmap approved by the government is to lift the isolation starting May 9 in "stages" that will continue until "late June", based on the path of the epidemic's development. But schools remain closed until September.
Schools will not be opened in Italy, too, before September. Italy, the European country most affected by the epidemic, is imposing strict arrangements to start the exit from isolation as of May 4, as gatherings will remain prohibited, and movement between regions as well, and wearing the mask will be mandatory in public transport.
Other European countries have also launched a gradual lifting of restrictions, with some stores open.
After China announced the overcoming of the emerging corona virus, the annual session of the Chinese parliament will be held finally in late May to celebrate the country's return to normal.
The meeting, which usually involves about 3,000 deputies and takes place annually at the People's Palace in Beijing, will be held on May 22, according to the official Xinhua news agency announced yesterday.
This annual meeting of the Chinese parliament was scheduled for early March. But he was put off in the midst of the epidemic crisis, in an unprecedented event for decades.
It was still inconceivable to gather 3,000 deputies in Beijing, while the country was subject to strict isolation measures and a large portion of the Chinese were isolated in their homes for fear of catching the infection.
The new China News Agency emphasized that at the present time the health situation is "gradually improving", and "the economic and social life is gradually regaining its natural paths."
