U.S. states strengthen epidemic prevention requirements

　　As the number of confirmed cases, hospitalized cases and deaths of the new crown in the United States continues to rise, many states have further restricted social gatherings, joined the travel quarantine list of hotspots, mandated to wear masks, and encouraged residents to stay at home.

Some other states restrict the operating hours of the store and catering industry and limit the capacity of restaurants.

　　Among them, New York State tightened its anti-epidemic measures again on the 13th, and restaurants, bars and gyms in the state must be closed before 10 pm from that day.

New York Mayor Bai Sihao also said that public schools in the city may stop on-site teaching from the 16th.

　　As the Thanksgiving holiday is approaching, Fauci, the chief infectious disease expert in the United States, suggested that if it is unclear whether the people attending the party are infected with the new crown, they should wear a mask.

According to a list of the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP), more than 30 states now require the public to wear masks in public, and some states have also increased their sanctions on offenders.

On October 5, local time, US President Trump left the National Military Medical Center in Maryland and returned to Washington. After receiving treatment for new coronary pneumonia at Walter Reed Medical Center in Washington, he took off his mask when he arrived at the White House.

　White House official: 20 million Americans are expected to be vaccinated by December

　　On the afternoon of the 13th local time, US President Trump held a press conference on the progress of the new crown vaccine in the Rose Garden of the White House.

This is Trump's first public speech after a number of U.S. media estimated Biden's "victory" in the presidential election.

　　At the press conference, White House officials announced that 20 million Americans are expected to be vaccinated by December.

However, Trump said that the vaccine will not be provided to New York State after it is available, because New York Governor Cuomo has expressed distrust of the federal government's vaccine approval process.

　　Trump also stated that the U.S. government will not implement lockdown measures to contain the increasing number of new crown cases in the United States.

He said the government will maintain "a high degree of vigilance and caution."

"This is a complicated disease, but we know it well. We ask all Americans to be vigilant, especially when the weather is getting colder and going out and outdoor parties become more difficult."

　Tedros: There is still a long way to go

　　Currently, many countries are stepping up the development of vaccines.

However, WHO Director-General Tan Desai said at the resumption of the World Health Assembly on the 13th that even in the absence of a vaccine, comprehensive response measures can contain the new coronavirus, and the virus itself has not changed significantly.

　　Tan Desai said that vaccines will be a key tool to control the new coronary pneumonia pandemic, and vaccine development has never been so fast.

The same urgent and innovative methods must be adopted to ensure that all countries can benefit from scientific results, but there is still a long way to go.

　　WHO Chief Scientist Swaminathan previously pointed out that if the new coronavirus vaccine, which is currently in the final stages of development, is finally successful, about 70% of the world's population will be vaccinated to ensure the end of the pandemic.
