The coronavirus pandemic "is far from over," WHO Director Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said Monday after Brazil closed its worst week of infections and as cases continue to rise in the United States and China, there is a "complex" regrowth.

"We all want it to end. We all want to continue with our lives. But the harsh reality is that we are far from the end, " added the director of the World Health Organization.

Indeed, the number of infections and deaths continues to grow globally, with 10,220,356 and 502,947 respectively, according to the most recent AFP count from official sources.

"Real explosion"

In the last 24 hours, 42,000 new coronavirus infections were registered in the United States, according to the balance of 00H30 GMT on Tuesday from Johns Hopkins University, and the most affected country in the world totals more than 125,000 deaths and almost 2.6 million of cases.

According to the Mexican Foreign Ministry, 1,513 of its citizens have died of covid-19 in the United States.

And while the number of daily deaths continues to drop (355 in the last 24 hours), infections have increased particularly in the largest and most populous states in the southern and western United States: California, Texas and Florida.

Florida faces a "real explosion" of the disease among youth, said Governor Ron DeSantis.

Miami and other cities decided to close the beaches again starting next weekend, long due to the national holiday on Friday.

The city of Jacksonville where Republicans will hold their national convention at an event President Donald Trump hoped for free from physical estrangement announced the mandatory use of a face mask.

This has become a new element of political division between Trump and his Republicans and the Democratic opposition.

But even Republicans like influential Senate leader Mitch McConnell speak in favor of the urgency to wear facemasks: "It is not about protecting ourselves, but about protecting everyone we meet, " he said.

In Los Angeles, the beaches will also be closed during independence celebrations and authorities have already ordered bars to be closed again.

In this scenario, the pace of the revival of the US economy is "extremely uncertain," according to Federal Reserve (Fed) President Jerome Powell, who also said, however, that the recovery started earlier than expected.

The worst week in Brazil

Brazil had the worst week of the pandemic in terms of new cases, registering 259,105 infections in the seven days until Sunday. In addition, it had its second highest weekly death record , at 7,005, just short of the previous week's record of 7,285.

The South American giant thus added up to Monday night 1.36 million cases and 58,314 deaths.

Michael Ryan, executive director of the WHO health emergency management program, encouraged Brazil to fight the disease and not to "underestimate the size and complexity" of the situation in Brazil, which "faces a major challenge and a Comprehensive response is necessary at all levels. "

On Sunday there were demonstrations in various Brazilian cities and in other countries against Jair Bolsonaro, the far-right president who has downplayed the coronavirus as "flu".

Peru, meanwhile, will end a quarantine of more than 100 days on Tuesday , but will maintain mandatory confinement in the seven most affected regions from Wednesday.

The quarantine will end in the capital, Lima, a city of 10 million inhabitants where the coronavirus is "descending", according to the government, despite accumulating 70% of national cases.

Among those cases is the Venezuelan family Hernández, with 14 members, who came to Peru two years ago in search of a better future, but the pandemic put his dreams in check, since they have all caught the coronavirus that caused the death of the grandfather , Wilmer Arcadio Hernández, 63 years old.

"I think my life is going away," says his son Wilmer Ramón Hernández, 44, with difficulty, lying in his house in southern Lima and connected to an oxygen tank.

Acceleration in Asia

Acceleration is also taking place in Asia, with India leading the way, with nearly 120,000 cases reported in the past seven days.

China, where it all started late last year, is rebounding. Excluding Hong Kong and Macao, it registers a total of 83,512 cases, including 4,634 deaths.

Amid this "serious and complex" outbreak, according to authorities, the Chinese army authorized the use in its ranks of a vaccine against the new coronavirus , created by the Military Academy of Medical Sciences and the pharmaceutical company CanSinoBIO.

Iran, which with 10,670 deaths is the most hit in the Middle East, recorded a record death on Monday , 162 in the last 24 hours.
