Top of the list

The United States tops the number of injured with 8 million 219,831 injured, while the deaths reached 222,781 deaths.

In India - the second country in terms of the number of injuries in the world - the number of infections reached 7 million and 372 thousand and 394 injured.

And in third place in the world, Brazil came with 5 million and 170 thousand and 996 injuries, while the death figures exceeded 152 thousand, to be ranked second in the world.

According to the statistics of the French Press Agency, the world recorded more than 400,000 injuries in the past 24 hours, which is a record number.

It was announced that 404,758 new infections and 6,086 deaths were recorded.

This increase in the number of infections reported in all parts of the world can be partly explained by the increase in the number of examinations conducted since the first wave of the epidemic in March and April of last year.

In Europe and also in the United States and Canada, the number of confirmed infections rose sharply in one week.

In Europe, on Thursday, the maximum number of daily infections since the beginning of the epidemic was reached, with more than 150,000 new infections.

Many countries in Europe believe they have entered a second wave of the epidemic.

The number of recorded deaths is still far from the levels recorded in April (more than 4,000 deaths per day on average), but after the slowdown that occurred during the summer (less than 400 deaths per day in July), last week witnessed an increase that exceeded the average A thousand deaths a day.

To limit the spread of the epidemic, the Belgian government decided to impose a night-time curfew throughout the country and a comprehensive closure of cafes and restaurants for a month.

Because of the closure measures in Catalonia, Spain, hundreds of demonstrators protested Friday at the closure of bars and restaurants, by order of the authorities, to limit the spread of the "Covid-19" epidemic in this region in northeastern Spain.

Since Thursday evening, bars and restaurants have closed for at least 15 days in the Catalonia region in order to slow the spread of the "Covid-19" epidemic, which has killed 33,000 people in Spain and infected nearly 900,000.

Vaccination operations

With regard to vaccinations, Russian Health Minister Mikhail Murashko announced the start of preparing lists of citizens to start mass vaccination operations against the Corona virus.

In a statement broadcast on the air by Russian Channel One, the minister stated that a comprehensive vaccination against the Corona virus is expected to begin in Russia at the end of next November.

To date, no Russian citizen has received the vaccine, except for those who participated in a phase 3 clinical trial.

Vaccines and licenses

For its part, Pfizer said that it may apply for a US license for the "Covid-19" vaccine, which it is developing with its German partner Biontech in late November, indicating that the vaccine may be available in the United States this year.

With this time limit, it becomes unlikely that a vaccine will be available before the US elections, which was promised by President Donald Trump.

Pfizer said it may determine whether the vaccine is effective or not as soon as this month based on its clinical experience involving 40,000 people, but it also needs safety data that will not be available until next month.
