Here are the latest developments in the spread of the emerging corona virus in the world, in light of the latest numbers, new measures and notable events:
- The situation is "getting worse":
The Director-General of the World Health Organization, Tedros Adhanum Gebresos, said on Monday that the situation is "getting worse", warning against complacency.
"Although the situation is improving in Europe, it is getting worse globally," he said during an online press conference from Geneva.
- More than
404,000 deaths: The new Corona virus has claimed the lives of at least 404,245 people worldwide since it appeared in China in December, according to a census based on official sources Monday.
More than seven million infections were officially recorded in 196 countries and territories.
The United States accounted for 110,771 deaths, followed by Britain (40,597 deaths), Brazil (36,455 deaths), Italy (33,946 deaths) and France (29,209 deaths).
- The worst crisis in 150 years:
The World Bank said on Monday that the crisis of the emerging Corona virus is the largest since 1870 in terms of the number of countries that will suffer from economic stagnation.
The bank expected the global economy to shrink 5 percent, an unprecedented rate since World War II, and between 70 million and 100 million people could suffer from extreme poverty.
Recession in the United States:
In February, the United States entered a recession after 128 months of economic growth, according to the National Bureau of Economic Research, whose definition of deflation has been modified due to the severity of the shock caused by the emerging Corona virus.
In parallel, Monday, New York City, which has been for weeks the epicenter of the epidemic, began a gradual lifting of the stone, the first stage of which is restricted to the construction and industrial sectors.
- More than 100 thousand infections in Pakistan:
Pakistan has crossed the threshold of 100 thousand cases of the emerging corona virus, according to what the authorities announced on Monday, a figure that does not reflect the current state of affairs in this country where hospitals have started to exceed their capacities.
The number of deaths remains low (2,067 official deaths) in this country, which suffers from poor sanitation.
Since the beginning of the epidemic, Prime Minister Imran Khan has opposed the application of segregation in cities, which he said might allow "people to be saved from the emerging corona virus, but it would make them die of hunger."
In early June, it announced the full lifting of containment, which had begun in late March in Pakistan.
Khan said the epidemic is expected to reach its peak "towards the end of July, followed by a gradual decline" of the spread of infection.
- Lifting of stone in Moscow: Moscow
Mayor Sergey Sobyanin announced the lifting of stone for residents, with the termination of compulsory travel permits. In parallel, the country's borders have been partially opened after being closed since March.
UK:
The United Kingdom recorded 55 additional deaths from the emerging coronavirus, in the weakest toll since March 22.
With 40,497 deaths, Britain remains the second most affected country after the United States.
