Yesterday, Spain tightened health restrictions to combat the outbreak of the "Covid-19" epidemic, and asked residents of the Madrid metropolitan area to "stay at home most of the time" as the United States approaches the threshold of 200,000 Corona deaths.

This comes, while aggregate data of virus cases showed that the total number of infections around the world is close to 31 million as of yesterday morning.

In detail, Spain imposed yesterday severe restrictions on freedom of movement for about 850,000 people in the Madrid area, so that they will not be able to leave their neighborhoods except for essential reasons such as going to work, visiting a doctor, or transporting their children to school.

And in return, they will be able to move freely within the neighborhood.

In the same way, entry to these areas will be prohibited except for these basic reasons.

And the local authorities recommend that residents “stay in their homes for the majority of the time,” with the assurance that the matter is not a home stone, as happened in the spring.

In London, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson is considering imposing general isolation measures again to confront the "Covid-19" disease, with the acceleration of the outbreak of the new Corona virus.

Britain is witnessing an increase in the rates of new cases of the disease to at least 6000 cases per day, according to data published a week ago, and the number of infected people who are being treated in hospitals has doubled every eight days, while the procedures for testing are floundering.

"We are certainly witnessing a very critical situation ... and it is clear that we are a few weeks late than we see in other parts of Europe," British Transport Secretary Grant Shaps told Sky News.

"It is important that we do everything in our power to be able to somehow deal with this matter ... and we will hear from others, including the prime minister, about the proposed next steps," Shabs said.

Chris Whitty, chief health official for the British government, said the outbreak in Britain was "going in the wrong direction" and that the country was at a "tipping point" in dealing with the pandemic.

The total number of deaths caused by "Corona" in Britain is 41,777, which is the highest toll in Europe and the fifth in the world.

In light of the high number of new infections with the new Coronavirus, the German government called on citizens to adhere to "the utmost caution" in facing the pandemic.

"There are now more injuries and transmission within Germany," government spokesman Steffen Seibert said yesterday in Berlin, adding that the ball is now in the court of politicians and citizens to decide "whether the number of infections will spread out of control again," and he said: " Germany is currently at a stage in the pandemic where it is decided how to enter the fall and winter months », indicating at the same time that there is a much higher infection rate in neighboring countries.

For its part, the Russian health authorities announced yesterday that 6,196 new cases of "Corona" were recorded during the past 24 hours.

"Russia Today" website quoted the Russian Operations Center for combating the outbreak of the Coronavirus that 71 new deaths were recorded from "Corona".

The total deaths in Russia since the outbreak of the epidemic reached 19489 cases, while the total number of infected people exceeded one million 109 thousand cases.

In China, the National Health Committee said yesterday that it had received reports of 12 new confirmed cases of "Corona" on the Chinese mainland.

The new China News Agency (Xinhua) quoted the committee as saying that all new cases were coming from abroad.

No deaths were reported from the disease.

The commission said that a total of seven people were discharged the day before yesterday, from hospitals after recovering from infection with the virus.

And aggregate data of Coronavirus cases showed that the total number of infections around the world is close to 31 million as of yesterday morning.

The latest data available on the Johns Hopkins University website showed that the total number of injuries reached 30 million and 935 thousand cases.

The data also showed that the number of people recovered exceeded 21.1 million, while the number of deaths approached 960,000.

Britain is considering imposing another general isolation as the spread of the "Covid-19" epidemic accelerates.

China records 12 new cases of "Corona" virus, all of them coming from abroad.
