One in three international schoolchildren has been unable to access closures of distance education schools connected to coronavirus, the UN children’s signing said Thursday, warning of a “global educational emergency.”
Nearly 1.5 billion young people have been affected by school closures as countries have closed to prevent the spread of the disease, UNICEF said in a report. However, at least one in 3 academics had no way to continue their studies at home.
So far, there have been 24.5 million that yielded positive evidence, a fraction of the actual total of the virus, and 832,771 showed deaths.
Here’s the newest thing about the COVID-19 pandemic around the world.
Europe is entering a “difficult time” with the new school year, and study rooms have not played a major role in the spread of coronavirus, there is evidence in development that other young people are infecting others in social gatherings, the World Health Organization said on Thursday.
“It is possible that the younger ones do not necessarily die because of it, but it is a tornado with a long tail. It is a multi-organ disease, so the virus attacks the lungs, but also the center and other organs,” Hans Kluge, WHO Regional Director for Europe, said at a press conference.
France
France recorded on Thursday a count of 6111 new coronavirus infections, the highest point since the end of the blockade and the highest recorded moment.
It is the highest since a peak of 7578 established on March 30 when it closed at the height of the epidemic.
The French Ministry of Health said the total number of infections shown is now 259,698. On Wednesday, the country recorded 5429 new infections, a new record after the lockdown.
The number of coronavirus deaths increased to 32.
A mask will be used in the French capital, Paris, starting Friday morning to stem the outbreak of coronavirus infections, police said Thursday.
The measure applies to both pedestrians and cyclists. Motorists must wear a mask inside their cars.
Spain
Spain has diagnosed 3,781 new coronavirus infections in more than 24 hours, with the Community of Madrid being the highest affected by the resurgence of the epidemic.
Retroactively updated figures from the previous day showed more than 6,000 new instances, nearly double the amount initially reported, but outside Friday’s highs of more than 9,000, which were almost equivalent to its peak of new instances at the end of March.
Spain has the prevalence of the virus in Western Europe.
United Kingdom
Britain reported on Thursday its largest daily accumulation of coronavirus cases since 12 June, for now infection rates remain well below those in Spain, France and other parts of Europe suffering a momentary wave of the disease.
The government said 1,522 others tested positive for lab-confirmed COVID-19 control on Thursday, up from 1,048 on Wednesday, and announced stricter restrictions on some overseas trips. Britain has suffered the highest number of deaths from the disease in Europe, largely because it did not spread in the early stages of the pandemic.
Britain will pay other low-income people to isolate themselves if they have shown or suspected a coronavirus, while the government will step up measures to keep the virus under control.
The new policy comes after opposition politicians asked the government to introduce payments, fearing that others who cannot take time off to paint would not comply with fitness advice.
Germany
Germany on Thursday called on its citizens to prevent visiting countries and regions from being at the greatest threat of the coronavirus pandemic and announced plans for stricter quarantine rules.
Germany has controlled to maintain the number of COVID-19 cases and deaths relative to other primary European countries, with 237,936 cases and 9285 deaths recorded. But the number of new instances has been expanding since early July and has accelerated in recent weeks.
Ireland
A brief technical challenge has led others to eliminate Ireland’s COVID-19 tracking app, leaving 1.2 million active users to 1.65 million who have downloaded it since early July, Ireland’s head of health care operator said Thursday.
Sweden
Swedish viewers and football enthusiasts could possibly return to theaters starting in October, after the National Health Agency accepted a government proposal to sometimes raise the limit to 500 from 50 today.
As the number of new COVID-19 infections and deaths decreases in Sweden, the government announced last week that it planned to introduce exceptions of up to 50 more people for occasions beginning October 1.
In March, Sweden limited public meetings to another 50 people to prevent the spread of the virus, preventing theatres, football clubs and concerts from generating public revenue.
United States
Deaths in the United States from the new coronavirus exceeded 180,000 on Thursday, while Iowa and Minnesota reported a record for new infections in one day.
Nationally, measurements of new cases, deaths, hospitalizations and positivity rates are declining, but there are emerging hot spots in the Midwest.
Health experts warned that the number of cases in the United States may increase as schools reopen and colder weather would force more indoor meetings.
This week, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said that others exposed to COVID-19 but who have no symptoms might not want to get tested.
This contradicts previous CDC guidelines, surprising doctors and politicians and prompting accusations that this might not have been based on sound science, but on the political tension of President Donald Trump’s administration.
The World Health Organization (WHO) reiterated its recommendation that, if resources permit, other people exposed to the new coronavirus should be tested even if they do not have immediate symptoms of infection.
Four members of a declining tribe in India’s remote Andaman Islands tested positive for coronavirus, authorities said Thursday when the country reported 75760 new infections, the largest buildup in a day.
The Great Andaman are one of six tribes of Mongolian and African origin that have lived in the Andaman in the Bay of Bengal for thousands of years. Only about 50 members survive, after thousands were killed by British colonizers in the 19th century or later died of disease. Since then, the Indian government has tried its way of life while opening the islands to the culmination of progression, such as access to physical care.
The world’s most populous country at the time has had the largest workload in the world since August 7.
South Korea
South Korea is investigating a new coronavirus outbreak among 28 others at a construction site in Seoul, the capital, as it has reported the largest construction in infections since March.
City officials planned to check on 500 citizens in a transience across the block and sent a team of specialists to investigate how other people from five other floors were infected, an official said.
Approximately 28 of the 436 people examined had the virus, and eight of them lived in apartments just above the others.
Authorities have suggested corporations use from home, fearing the threat of epidemics in crowded areas, such as a call center in March and a logistics center in June.
Kenya
Kenya’s President Uhuru Kenyatta on Wednesday extended the national curfew in the East African nation’s fight against the new coronavirus for 30 days.
