US President Joe Biden said Monday evening that 90% of adults in the United States will be able to get a Corona vaccine within 3 weeks.

While Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced a package of new measures to control the spread of the virus, including general isolation on weekends and a night curfew for the rest of the days, and while Morocco extended the night curfew, Jordan appointed the second minister of health during the pandemic.

Biden indicated that 75% of Americans over the age of 65 will be able to receive a vaccine dose this week.

He added that his administration will save millions of dollars for the elderly to receive vaccinations, including transportation costs to health centers.

Biden stressed that measures to confront Corona cannot be relaxed now, and he called on state governors to return the order to wear masks.

The results of research conducted by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention showed that the Corona virus vaccines produced by "Pfizer" and "Moderna" have a large percentage of effectiveness against infection with the virus.

The Washington Post said that the tests conducted by the centers on about 4 thousand vaccinated people in the United States, Britain and Israel showed that the vaccines reduced infection with the virus by 80% after a person received the first dose, and by 90% after the second dose of the vaccine. .

The experiments also indicated that 3 people out of about 2,500 who were fully vaccinated were infected with the virus.

Ban and isolation in Turkey

Meanwhile, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan revealed, on Monday, a package of new preventive measures against Corona that will be implemented during the holy month of Ramadan.

Erdogan said that a complete general isolation will be re-imposed on the weekends (on Saturday and Sunday) during the month of Ramadan, and he stressed that the curfew imposed from nine in the evening until five in the morning will remain in effect throughout the country throughout the week.

Erdogan added that mass Iftar and Suhoor events will not be organized throughout Turkey during the holy month.

He pointed out that the work of restaurants during the month of Ramadan will be limited to the service of delivering orders to homes.
