The new Corona virus has killed at least 760,739 people in the world since it appeared in China at the end of December, while cases of the virus worldwide exceeded 21 million.
Meanwhile, a 14-day quarantine imposed by Britain on arrivals from France, which pledged to impose a "counter-measure", came into effect yesterday, while restrictions re-imposed in almost all of Europe.
According to a census based on official sources, the virus has killed at least 760,739 people in the world, while a Reuters census showed that more than 21 million people were infected with the emerging corona virus worldwide.
HIV infections have been recorded in more than 210 countries and regions since the first cases were discovered in China in December 2019.
The United States topped the list, with 167,278 deaths, five million and 271087 cases.
Brazil came in second place, with 105,463 deaths, three million and 224,876 cases.
India ranked third, with 4,8040 deaths, two million and 461,190 cases.
Russia ranked fourth, with 15,384 deaths and 907,758 cases.
In London, a 14-day quarantine imposed by the British authorities on arrivals from France entered into force yesterday.
In the face of the high number of injuries, the British government re-imposed a 14-day isolation on travelers from France, the Netherlands and Malta, after more than a month of exemption from that, which caused obstacles to hundreds of thousands of travelers' plans to spend the summer vacation.
And the British government wrote in a tweet that London "is currently recommending against non-essential travel" to France. She added that he began imposing a "14-day quarantine on arrivals" from France, the Netherlands and Malta.
Britain, the country most affected by the new Corona virus in Europe (more than 41 thousand deaths), fears the high number of infections, while it seeks to revive its economy, which witnessed an unprecedented collapse in the continent.
France expressed its regret over the British decision and announced that it would take "countermeasures."
In a scene that reflects the situation in a world that seems to be shutting down again after the lifting of isolation measures at the beginning of the summer, wearing masks has become mandatory even abroad in some European cities, such as Brussels, from Wednesday.
Paris, where the virus is transmitted quickly, with an infection rate of 4.14%, compared to a national rate of 2.4%, follows the same trend: “The masks must be put on, starting Saturday morning, in new neighborhoods, including the neighborhood in which the Louvre is located and in part of the Champs-Elysées Avenue. Gatherings of more than 10 people are prohibited, and the rules of physical distancing are not respected. ”
As of Friday, wearing masks is mandatory in the shrines and in the streets around the city of Lourdes - southwestern France. This measure is greatly respected.
Germany has classified Spain, with the exception of the Canary Islands, which German tourists frequent, among the countries of risk, and thus imposed on arrivals from it the examination of the detection of "Covid-19" and subject to mandatory quarantine. The United States is still the country most affected by the epidemic, with 168,446 deaths, followed by Brazil (106,523) and Mexico with 55,908 deaths. The US border with Mexico and Canada will remain closed to non-essential travel until at least September 21, the US Homeland Security announced. The number of confirmed cases of the new Corona virus in Spain reached 342,813 cases, yesterday, compared to 334,334 cases the day before yesterday.
