On Monday, the United States recorded, for the first time in more than 3 months, a daily death toll from Covid-19 of less than a thousand deaths, at a time when the US administration accused Russia of misleading about vaccines licensed by Washington.

The data of Johns Hopkins University, which is a reference in tracking infections and deaths from the Corona virus, showed that the United States recorded the death of 749 people between Sunday evening and Monday evening, which is the first time in 3 and a half months that the daily death toll from the virus in this country falls below the threshold of 1,000 death.

The previous toll - less than a thousand - was recorded on November 29 and reached 822 deaths on that day.

These data confirm that the pace of the outbreak of the epidemic is declining in the United States, where the curve of deaths and injuries has returned to the levels it was before Halloween and Thanksgiving and other celebrations and occasions in which the country witnessed mass movements and huge gatherings that contributed to the outbreak of the virus.

These figures are good news for President Joe Biden, who on Saturday approved his plan to stimulate the economy affected by "Covid-19", amounting to 1.9 trillion dollars.

To date, about 59 million Americans have received at least one vaccine dose, or about 23% of the adult population, while the immune rate continues to rise steadily after a weak start of the vaccination campaign.

People are completely immune to the Corona virus two weeks after they received the second dose of one of the "Pfizer-BioNTech" or "Moderna" vaccines, or two weeks after they received a single-dose vaccine similar to "Johnson & Johnson" (Johnson & Johnson).

Vaccine war

Spokesman for the US State Department, Ned Price, said that the department in charge of monitoring foreign propaganda and responding to it, "has identified 4 Russian internet platforms supervised by the Russian intelligence services that spread disinformation."

"These sites contain misleading information about two vaccines that are licensed in the United States," he told reporters.

On the other hand, Europe is seeking to speed up the vaccination campaign, in the face of the virus and its various mutations.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said that the European Union expects to receive about 100 million doses per month in the second quarter of the year, and in total 300 million by the end of June.

Von der Leyen warned that other countries in the European Union may deliberately block exports of anti-virus vaccines, as Italy did last week with a shipment of AstraZeneca vaccine destined for Australia.

Italy, where the number of deaths due to the epidemic exceeded the threshold of 100,000, justified its decision by the lack of vaccines in Europe, and the absence of an urgent necessity in Australia.

On the other hand, an official at the European Medicines Agency advised on Monday that the European Union member states not to license the Russian "Sputnik V" vaccine urgently, stressing that there is not enough data available until the hour taken from people who have received this vaccine, while Hungary has started Gave this vaccine last month.

In Austria, health authorities suspended the use of a group of AstraZeneca vaccines against "Covid-19" after the death of a nurse, although "there has not been a direct link between the vaccine and death," so far.

In England, students between the ages of 5 and 11 returned to school on Monday, in the first phase of the gradual graduation process from the third lockdown imposed last January.

Thanks to the massive vaccination campaign, which has so far allowed 22 million people to be vaccinated with a first dose, London has loosened its very strict restrictions on social life.

Non-essential stores, terraces of bars and restaurants are expected to reopen on April 12, with all restrictions initially lifted on June 21.

Germany also lifted some restrictions Monday, allowing libraries, flower shops and driving schools to receive customers again across the country.

However, other countries have tightened prevention measures. In Finland, new restrictions came into effect on Monday with the closure of bars and restaurants, as well as in Hungary, which is facing a new outbreak of the disease, as schools and most shops and companies will close their doors.

In France, the number of patients in the resuscitation department in hospitals increased significantly, Monday, with the worsening of the epidemiological situation in the Paris region.

Anger and anger at the restrictions are putting pressure on governments, who find themselves faced with the need to contain the epidemic while satisfying citizens at the same time.

In Tunisia, the Tunisian presidency announced Monday evening that about 30,000 vaccine doses will arrive in the country today, Tuesday, in a shipment that is the first of its kind, and is supposed to allow the government - within days - to launch the national vaccination campaign that was supposed to start last month.
