Several European countries witnessed demonstrations against the restrictions imposed to curb the spread of the new Corona virus (Covid-19), and by registering 284,000 new daily infections, Europe is still the region that witnesses the fastest spread of the virus.
The European Medicines Agency said that it expects to give a positive opinion about the first vaccine by the end of this year, to be distributed as of next January, in case the clinical data are stable.
The director of the agency, Guido Rasi, considered that the distribution of a vaccine in January will have clear effects on the spread of the virus within five to six months, and mainly next summer.
In Portugal, about 500 people demonstrated in Lisbon, to protest against the curfew and the restrictions imposed by the authorities to stop the spread of Corona.
In Germany, about 1,000 protesters demonstrated in Frankfurt, and 700 people gathered in Ratisborn.
German Economy Minister Peter Altmaier told the weekly newspaper "Bild am Sonntag" that Germans should be prepared for another four to five months of strict restrictions to combat the increase in the number of Coronavirus infections, and not expect to quickly ease the restrictions currently in place.
He added, "We have not come out of the bottleneck yet, and we cannot bear a wobbly closure with the economy constantly opening and closing."
Germany has imposed a series of restrictions to combat the second wave of the pandemic, which it and the rest of Europe are suffering.
And despite the closure of restaurants, schools and shops are still operating.
Yesterday, data from the Robert Koch Institute for Infectious Diseases showed that the number of confirmed cases of the virus in the country increased by 16,947, bringing the total to 790,503 infections.
Altmire said that Germany should beware of easing restrictions quickly, adding: "If we do not want days in which to record 50,000 new infections, as was the case in France a few weeks ago, we must take the lesson from this, and not constantly speculate on which restrictions can be eased." .
In France, hundreds of people demonstrated in Nice and Marseille to protest against restrictions imposed by the French authorities.
