The German state of Bavaria said it had discovered most of the other people returning from abroad who had tested positive for coronavirus, but had not been reported in a debacle that embarrassed an imaginable successor to Chancellor Angela Merkel, Reuters reports.
Bavaria said in a statement that it had discovered 903 of the 949 people who tested positive for a total of 44,000 returning travellers, although it may not find non-public information for 46 of the positive tests.
The tests had been carried out until two weeks ago at special open centres with wonderful fanfare in the southern state, but access to knowledge meant that travelers had been waiting for their effects for days.
Bavarian Prime Minister Markus Soeder apologized for the upheavals Thursday and promised to correct the mistakes by adding more staff. He also said he supported his fitness minister who had come forward to resign.
Some Conservatives see Soeder as the chancellor’s candidate next year, succeeding Merkel, who has said she will not run for a fifth term. Soeder has said so far that he will remain in Bavaria.
Germany has controlled to maintain the number of Covid-19 instances and deaths relatively compared to other European countries, however, there are considerations of a imaginable wave of the pandemic.

Dozens of academics sat on the outdoor floor of the UK Ministry of Education’s front door as the streets filled the street.
They are protesting the degradation of thousands of A-level academics through a set of rules that report on the old functionality of schools, discriminating well against high-performing youth in underperforming schools.
The exams were cancelled in the UK due to the pandemic, they took position in some countries such as Germany.
The protesters chanted vote for them, Eton and take Gavin out [in reference to the secretary, and many protesters held banners in reference to the upcoming elections.
Maya Szollosy, 18, from London, said:
We’re of voting age now, most of us, and we’re young. We will do it for many years until the general election, and I don’t think many academics vote for the Conservative Party after what they’ve done to us.
A science teacher who wanted to give his name, said:
I think it’s the biggest attack on the ordinary class, probably from Thatcher, or at least the bray maximum. This is going to be devastating especially for career class, adding black and ethnic minority students. I’ve noticed that up to two million GCSE youth are potentially going to be demoted, so I’m so scared for them, my center is broken by those kids.
Health officials in the Canadian city of Toronto warned that up to 550 others may have been exposed to coronavirus at a downtown strip club after a worker tested positive for the virus.
The prospective exhibition took place a few days after Brass Rail Tavern, one of the city’s best-known strip clubs, was allowed to reopen. The worker worked 4 shifts in early August, the city said in a statement, without detailing the worker’s ability.

Two other people who tested positive for coronavirus in Wales died, raising the total number of deaths since the start of the pandemic to 1589.
Public Health Wales reported that the total number in the country was higher across 18, bringing the revised total to 17,561.
Greece will only flatten the curve of a momentary wave of coronavirus that now takes over the country if diagnosed cases fall below two hundred per day, an infectious disease expert warned.
Gkikas Magiorkinis, assistant professor of hygiene and epidemiology at the University of Athens, said it was imperative to keep infection rates below two hundred to keep the pandemic below after a fourth consecutive day on which he exceeded that threshold.
The prediction is that if it stays below 200, then the number to intubate is manageable. Otherwise, we will have to impose more measures, especially in giant cities such as Athens and Thessaloniki, where part of the Greek population lives and where we have higher transmission densities. »
On Saturday, the National Public Health Organization, EODY, announced that another 230 people had tested positive for the new virus in the past 24 hours, saying that 27 of the new instances had been imported with foreign arrivals.
Compared to other European countries, Greece has been successful in keeping the pandemic under control, registering 6,858 cases and 226 deaths to date. But the government reported that there was an increase in concern in some cases in August, and fitness officials attributed a component of the increase to incoming tourists, but also lax compliance with fitness protocols and other compliance measures at the national level.
Magiorkinis, one of many clinical experts advising the government, said that the creation of update tests also played a role in expanding the number of diagnoses, but said his greatest fear is the spread of transmissions to vulnerable sectors of society if accumulation is not controlled.
If we can keep the number below 200, we can flatten the curve. Otherwise, I am concerned that transmissions will succeed in the other most vulnerable people in nursing homes and hospitals.
He said Greece saw the effect on its effective rate of coronavirus replication, or R number, which reached 1.1 about 15 days ago. On Friday, the government announced new containment measures, adding midnight curfews at bars and restaurants in the island’s popular spas and major urban centers.
Magiokinis, who in the past taught at Oxford University, said that among the additional measures being considered was to make masking mandatory “everywhere” and reduce density rates in public transport and in restaurants and bars.
Italy recorded more than 500 new cases of coronavirus in 24 hours for the third day in a row, reaching record numbers since May.
Most of those who tested positive returned from Croatia, Spain, Greece and Malta. According to the Ministry of Health, Italy recorded 629 new cases of coronavirus on Saturday.
Health Minister Roberto Speranza announced that he had signed an ordinance requiring tourists returning from Spain, Croatia, Malta and Greece to be by coronavirus. He said:
We’ll have to exercise the utmost caution to protect what we’ve achieved so far. People returning from those countries will now be taxable.
For most of the summer, tactile search and compliance with security measures have helped Italy have a solid and low rate of new Covid-19 infections, but a hot week in August may be enough to undo all of the country’s past successes.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued an emergency use authorization to the Yale School of Public Health for its SalivaDirect Covid-19 diagnostic test, which uses a new approach to treat saliva sample infection testing.
Undersecretary of Health and Covid-19 Test Coordinator Admiral Brett Giroir said:
SalivaDirect verification for immediate sars-CoV-2 detection is another factor in verification innovation that will reduce the need for scarce verification resources. Our existing national expansion of Covid-19 controls is only imaginable through the FDA’s technical expertise and reduced regulatory barriers, along with the personal sector’s ability to innovate and its strong motivation to respond to the complex and demanding situations posed through this pandemic.
FDA commissioner Stephen Hahn said:
Providing this type of flexibility for the remedy of saliva samples to control Covid-19 infection is revolutionary in terms of efficacy and avoids the shortage of very important control parts, such as reagents. Today’s approval is another example of the FDA’s operation with check developers to bring the highest-end generation to market to ensure access to checks to everyone else in the United States. The FDA encourages check developers to work with the company to create cutting-edge and effective products to help combat the Covid-19 pandemic and develop the capacity and effectiveness of checks.
According to the FDA, SalivaDirect requires a swab or sampling device. A saliva pattern can be taken from any sterile container. It is also said that this verification is unique because it requires a separate nucleic acid extraction step.
This is the fifth FDA-approved check that uses saliva as a pattern for checking, eliminating the need for swabs.
South Africa eased many of its blocking restrictions after officials said the worst pandemic outbreak in the continent’s most evolved country gave the impression of passing.
With more than 580,000 infections shown to date, South Africa has been heavily affected by the virus, despite one of the strictest and oldest blockades in the world. A total of another 11,700 people died, according to official figures, studies conducted by government medical scientists suggest that the actual figure is several times higher.
The president, Cyril Ramaphosa, delivered the last of a series of televised speeches on Saturday night, saying that South Africa had “exceeded the turning point of the curve” of infections in Covid-19 and pronouncing a radical removal of blocking restrictions.
Ramaphosa said the government would end the ban on the sale of alcohol and tobacco, allow restaurants and taverns to resume their general operations under strict hygiene standards, and eliminate the inter-province ban.
The Covid-19 crisis has greatly affected an economy already in recession, destroying millions of jobs and causing difficulties for many already disadvantaged South Africans.
Ramaphosa said new infection rates had fallen to an average of 5,000 according to the day, to a peak of 12,000 by day, which, along with increased recoveries, “significantly reduced the strain on our fitness facilities.”
Officials in Gauteng, the most populous and wealthy province, said last week that the spike in infections had been lower than expected, but that a wave of time is likely to occur within 3 to 4 months.
Ramaphosa, which remains largely popular despite developing anger at reports of systematic corruption within much of the ruling party of the African National Congress, warned that cases may escalate if others do not remain vigilant and said that a near-total ban on foreigners remained in place.
The president’s promise of decisive action opposed to “some other people who have tried to benefit by corrupt means from this pandemic” has provoked a skeptical response. Local media noted that in a 2,500-word speech, fewer than a hundred words were true to a subject that provoked widespread outrage.
Lifting alcohol restrictions will be a relief for the beverage and hospitality industries that suffer, but will have a greater effect on scarce and poorly controlled fitness resources. Public service and other trade unions have called for a new major stimulus for the economy.
“The additional easing of restrictions gives us the greatest opportunity since the start of the pandemic to bring our economy to life in suffering,” the president said.
Crime statistics released last week showed a sharp drop in violent crime since restrictions were imposed in late March.
The Spanish regions have begun to put into force a series of measures aimed at curbing one of the highest rates of contagion in Europe.
About two months after the country got rid of one of Europe’s strictest blockades, cases broke out across the country. The 14-day rate of new instances is now 116 per 100,000, according to the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control, compared to 41 in France and 19 in the UK.
Among the regions most affected is Catalonia, where 1,044 new instances and thirteen deaths have been reported in the last 24 hours, according to the latest knowledge of the Ministry of Fitness.
The sharp increase in the instances has led to the recent announcement of new measures to be implemented in Spain, adding the closure of nightclubs and the closure of bars and restaurants at 1 a.m. Smoking in public places will be prohibited when distance is not possible.
On Sunday, the new measures came into force in the northern wine region of La Rioja and in the southeastern region of Murcia. Other regions are expected to put the measures into force in the coming days.
In the Basque Country, where the 14-day infection rate has increased to 181 cases per 100,000, officials said they would claim a “health emergency” on Monday, which would allow them to limit public meetings and potentially confine spaces with a threat of transmission. .
In Madrid, the city most affected, officials announced that from Monday they would conduct randomized tests on citizens of some of the city’s most at-risk spaces in the hope of further monitoring of asymptomatic cases. In the last two weeks, more than 10,800 more people tested positive in the Madrid area.
The immediate spread of the virus in recent weeks has affected the country’s tourism industry, a major sector accounting for around 12% of Spain’s GDP. The most recent coup came here from Germany, whose citizens are among the largest teams of foreign tourists in Spain.
After officials declared Spain, with the exception of the Canary Islands, a region at risk of coronavirus, forcing returnees to take a check or quarantine on arrival, the tour operator TUI said he canceled all German packages to Spain until 24 August and called travellers who were already in the country to leave until the end of the week.
Australian swimmer Chloe McCardel has trusted that she will have to be quarantined after returning to the UK after breaking the men’s record of crossing the English Channel.
The 35-year-old took 10 hours and 40 minutes to complete his 35th swim after leaving Dover, Kent, on Saturday night. She feared that her arrival in Calais would force her to isolate herself on her return to the Uk, after such regulations were introduced on Saturday, leaving tourists behind and increduled.
However, McCardel, 35, says the British and French coastguards have cleared the stage as he spent only a few minutes on the ground before returning to his boat for the return trip.
“I’m in a bad mood, ” McCardel told the BBC afterwards. “I’d like to have a little party tonight in England.”
The women’s channel swimming record is the British Alison Streeter.
More than 294,000 others have tested positive for Covid-19 in the more than 24 hours, according to World Health Organization figures cited through the BBC. This is the biggest increase in the pandemic to date.
Cases continue to increase sharply in many countries, while others, besides Spain, are experiencing an increase in infections.
France is expected to announce further measures over the next two weeks to stop the spread of Covid-19 in the workplace, Employment Minister Elisabeth Borne said Sunday after Paris and Marseille were declared “red zones” and the country recorded the main news in its publication. blocking infections.
Borne told the Journal du Dimanche that the government would consult with the union next week on the measures, which come with a mandatory mask in collective spaces and unventilated herbal meeting rooms, but not necessarily in individual offices.
The minister also stated that house paintings deserve to be the norm whenever it can be imagined in the areas of the country where the virus is actively spreading, and that she would consult with the public aptitude authority on its recommendations for open offices, adding the installation of plexiglass. screens among painters.
Both the capital and the Branch of Bouches-du-Rhane have been classified as spaces where the coronavirus “actively circulates”, an administrative measure that will allow government prefects to impose new restrictions when they deem it necessary.
Paris expanded on Saturday parts of the city where masks are now mandatory, adding popular tourist spots such as the dominance around the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre to its list of bustling grocery shopping streets, markets and nightlife advertised on Monday.
Marseille has also added more mandatory mask zones. It is now necessary to cover your nose and mouth in public in the busiest spaces of several French cities where physical distance is difficult, in particular Nice, Rennes, Lille, La Rochelle, Lyon and Bordeaux.
France’s national fitness firm, Public Health France, reported 3,310 new infections on Saturday in more than 24 hours, a record since the country left the blockade in mid-May.
He said that some, though not all, of the build-up was due to a large build-up of evidence, he warned that the proportion of positive tests was increasing.
In the meantime, the Netherlands has added Paris and the Bouches-du-Rhane region, Brussels, Madrid and several Spanish regions to their orange warning list, a precaution opposed to all that is still essential and it is not easy for returnees to be quarantined for 14 days.
Britain is also on the list because of the 14-day quarantine it has imposed on travellers from the Netherlands, however, those returning from the UK are not required to be quarantined when they return home.
More than 650 others tested positive for coronavirus in the Netherlands within 24 hours of Saturday, bringing the country’s last weekly week to 4508, more than 1000 more than last week.
