While the British government said that it is closely monitoring the Corona strains that pose a threat to reopening places as planned next month, German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier appealed to the community in his country to join hands in the face of the outbreak of the new Corona virus, at a time when France imposed a stone Compulsory health care for those coming from several countries.

In detail, the Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip announced yesterday that 23 deaths from the Coronavirus have been recorded, in the highest daily toll since the first local infections were discovered last August.

"23 deaths from the Coronavirus were recorded during the past 24 hours, which brings the number of deaths to 761 since the beginning of the pandemic," the ministry said in a statement.

The director of home quarantine centers at the Ministry of Health, Mutassim Salah, confirmed that this figure represents "the largest number of deaths recorded in the Gaza Strip."

Globally, combined data showed that the total number of HIV infections in the countries of the world exceeded 140.7 million as of yesterday morning, while the number of vaccines that were administered around the world reached 884 million.

The latest data available on the Johns Hopkins University website showed that the total number of injuries reached 140 million and 729 thousand cases.

The data also showed that the number of people recovering is close to 80.2 million, while the total deaths increased to 3 million and 11 thousand cases.

In London, the British government is closely monitoring the outbreak of Corona strains, and has warned that it is too early to say whether it will be possible to reopen closed guesthouses in England as planned next month.

And Bloomberg News reported that the comments issued by Environment Minister George Eustis yesterday will stoke growing fears that the government's roadmap to exit the lockdown could be derailed due to the virus mutating into strains that scientists fear may be partially resistant to vaccines.

A prominent scientist warned that the Corona virus strain that first appeared in India could "cancel" the United Kingdom's plan to ease the restrictions of "Corona", despite the closure and the vaccination program.

But a professor of immunology called on Britain to be wary of a third wave after recording a possible mutation that negates the effect of the vaccine in England and Scotland.

In Berlin, German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier appealed to the community in his country to join hands in light of the outbreak of the new Corona virus.

He said that the epidemic has left "deep wounds ... we are exhausted from the burden of (Corona) ... Therefore, we need a moment to pause, a moment to look at something other than daily politics, for a moment that allows us together to look at the human tragedy of the epidemic."

In Paris, France tightened entry restrictions to its lands for those coming from Argentina, Brazil, Chile and South Africa, due to concerns related to new strains of the Corona virus.
