Corona ... fierce competition for the production of an anti-virus vaccine and a new outcome for victims worldwide

Competition for the production of an anti-Coronavirus vaccine is heating up amid American and European expectations that this may be possible by the end of this year, and as European countries ease the isolation measures, the epidemic continues to claim more victims around the world.

On Friday, US President Donald Trump said he expects to reach the Coronavirus vaccine at the end of this year.

Trump added that his administration will invest in the best candidate vaccines to treat the virus, adding that a list of 14 promising vaccines has been prepared with the possibility of reducing the list.

He added that access to this vaccine is an essential pillar of the strategy to keep the United States open.

The US president’s remarks come at a time when global laboratories in the United States, Europe and China are racing to produce a vaccine against the Coronavirus, which spread late last year from the Chinese city of Wuhan and covered various parts of the world.

There are currently more than a hundred projects in the world and more than ten clinical trials of the vaccine, including five in China to try to find a cure for the disease.

The European Medicines Agency, known as "Emma", said that a vaccine for the Corona virus could be approved in the most optimistic scenario early next year.

The agency indicated that it is in the process of cooperating with 33 experts to develop a treatment for the virus, and the agency is testing about 115 possible treatments, and it is not known which of them may be ready in the deadlines.

In this context, the researchers at the University of Oxford announced that the results of the clinical trial that they are carrying out to develop a vaccine may be available within a month, and the researchers began testing the vaccine last month in the form of five hundred volunteers.

The researchers believe that the challenge after the vaccine leave is the ability to manufacture it in large quantities, noting that they will cooperate with the drug company "AstraZeneca" to ensure the vaccine reaches poor countries.

Britain has given the green light to Abbot Laboratories to manufacture an anti-coronavirus antibody test. The antibody test involves analyzing a sample of a person’s blood in order to detect the presence of an antibody in the Coronavirus.

Experts say that this type of test will reveal the size of unregistered injuries, as it will reveal individuals who passed or passed the disease in silence.

But the US Food and Drug Administration cautioned that Abbott's Corona Diagnostic Test is not entirely accurate.

Globally, Corona virus infections exceeded 4.6 million, while deaths exceeded 308,000 cases, according to the latest statistics published by the "WorldMeter" site.

The pattern of deaths and injuries continued to be relatively high in the United States, despite its retreat from previous record levels, with about 1700 new deaths recorded, raising the total deaths to more than 87,000, and more than twenty thousand new injuries, bringing the total closer to 1.5 million injuries.

While the US President called on citizens to return to work under record unemployment affecting about 15% of the working population, the New York Governor extended isolation in the city until May 28, while the US House of Representatives adopted a package to revive the economy worth three trillion dollars.

In Europe, the number of deaths and injuries continued to be relatively low in Italy, France and Britain, compared to the past weeks.

In Italy, 242 new deaths were recorded, 104 in France, 138 in Spain and 348 in Britain, while the number of Russian casualties remained high at more than ten thousand cases per day.

Several European countries eased restrictions on population movement and economic activity, but in return they continued to impose social divergence measures.

In the context of easing restrictions, Italy intends to allow travel to and from the European Union and the Schengen countries to resume from next June 3, Italian media reported.

Outside Europe, Brazil recorded a new high death toll from the death of 824 people with the Corona virus and 15,000 cases.

Al-Jazeera correspondent reported that the Brazilian Health Minister Nelson Tic resigned a month before he took office, due to differences with President Bolsonaro on managing the Corona pandemic in Brazil. 

In Turkey, midnight last night, a new four-day curfew took effect in 15 states as part of measures to counter the outbreak of the Coruna virus, while more than 1700 cases and 48 other deaths were recorded.

In Iran, the frequency of deaths and injuries has stabilized at a low level compared to previous weeks, with 48 deaths and 2,100 new injuries recorded.

As for the Arabs, new deaths were recorded in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Egypt, Kuwait and Algeria, while Tunisia recorded three new infections with the virus after five days where no infection was recorded.
