The number of coronavirus cases in Russia has been at its highest level since July 18.
On Tuesday, the country reported 6,215 new infections in more than 24 hours, bringing its total to 1,115,810, the fourth highest in the world.
The government reported 160 deaths in the last 24 hours, bringing the official death toll to 19,649 in a country with a total population of approximately 144 million.
The accumulation of cases in the UK remains the worst case, a member of the government’s clinical advisory organisation warned.
At the end of August, a leaked sage report indicated a “reasonably unfavorable scenario” of 85,000 deaths across the country this winter due to covid-19.
“The build-up in some cases follows the worst-case scenario,” Professor Colin Semple told BBC Radio 4’s Today in a non-public capacity, adding that there is “significant anxiety within the clinical network and fitness network” in the UK.
He added that the 10 p. m. curfew in pubs, bars and restaurants announced through Boris Johnson would not pass far enough to curb new coronavirus infections.
“We’re going to have to see possible discounts at sporting events,” Semple said. “We will see greater restrictions in the hospitality sector, I think over time. “
“The provision of higher education and continuing education is likely to be to move to a more online service, as many universities have already done so. “
He added: “I think we’ll move on to a point where we’ll restrict other people from combining between homes. “
As Covid cases continue in the UK, the prime minister must announce a curfew at 10pm in pubs, bars and restaurants and other new measures in England on Tuesday.
Reception locations will also be for table service only. Speaking on Sky News on Tuesday morning, Cabinet Minister Michael Gove said:
These are reluctant measures that we are taking, but surely they are because, as we were reminded yesterday, the rate of infection is expanding and the number of other people going to the hospital is increasing, so we want to act ».
During the announcement, Boris Johnson is also expected to inspire Britons to paint from home if they can to stop the spread of coronavirus, less than a month after the introduction of a primary plan to bring others back to the office.
In an upcoming interview with the BBC, Gove said schools remain open and that paint sites where staff cannot paint remotely work safely with Covid.
It was announced as the world’s worst Zoom assembly, but the 75th United Nations General Assembly may be even worse than that.
This is called the “general debate” but, unlike a Zoom meeting, there will be no discussion, just a one-week procession of pre-recorded video messages from world leaders, which expose their positions and keep their national audience in mind. have sent their expired videos last week. By Monday, only part of it had been returned.
UN Secretary-General Guterres hopes to take advantage of the organization’s 75th anniversary as an opportunity for member states to recommit to their founding principles, but the UN and multilateralism itself have never been so concerned.
“The challenge is that much of the world wonders if the UN still applies to the 75,” said Sherine Tadros, director of Amnesty International’s UN office. “To use a Covid analogy, it’s a question of whether there are too many pre-existing situations to get through this next period. “
