Europe, where the spread of the corona is seldom caught, countries are strengthening containment measures.
In the future, people entering the UK must self-isolate for ten days, and France has increased the curfew time to
6 pm.

Germany, the death toll of Corona 19 exceeded 1,000 on the third day.
The cumulative confirmed cases also exceeded 2 million.
German Chancellor Merkel is expected to draw up a card to strengthen containment measures, as the spread of the virus has not stopped since the outbreak of the mutant virus in Britain and elsewhere.
Prime Minister Merkel is reported to be considering expanding telecommuting and reducing the number of public transportation users.
France has also strengthened the blockade, raising the curfew time to 6 pm two hours earlier than before.
Britain has completely halted entry from Latin American countries, including Brazil.
This is to prevent the influx of a new mutant virus in Brazil.
[Grant Shakes/British Minister of Transportation: No one is infected with the Brazilian mutant virus yet, but we have taken precautions.
We will do everything we can and make sure that the mutant virus does not interfere with vaccination.]
In addition, we have made it mandatory to self-isolate for 10 days for all inbound travelers, regardless of nationality.
In this situation, the World Health Organization and WHO criticized that 95% of the COVID-19 vaccine supplied worldwide was distributed only to 10 countries including the United States, Germany and the United Kingdom.
WHO pointed out that "to effectively stop the spread of the virus, vaccines must be distributed evenly to poor countries."
