During a trip to the hospital for a separate procedure, I tested positive for COVID19 today. I ask the other people who contacted me last week to isolate the property and take the COVID-19 test. #CitoyenMukherjee
With more than 2.2 million cases diagnosed with COVID-19, India has the third highest score in the world, the United States and Brazil.
San Diego ABC affiliate KGTV.” data-reactid=”218″>A coronavirus testing site will open soon near the U.S.-Mexico border in Southern California’s San Diego County, according to a report by San Diego ABC affiliate KGTV.
The non-appointment registration site will be at the junction of The Port of Entry of San Ysidro, PedWest, one of the busiest foreign pedestrian border crossings in the world. The site, among more than two dozen others in San Diego County, will be the closest to the Mexican border so far for the region.
The United States and Mexico are two of the countries most affected by the coronavirus pandemic.
The Spanish network accounts for only 34% of San Diego’s population, however, on Sunday it accounted for 62% of the city’s COVID-19 cases, according to KGTV. This figure is likely to increase after the new check opens in the coming weeks, as the region is ruled by Spanish speakers.
However, the Chicano Federation’s chief strategy officer, Roberto Alcantar, said many members of the Latin American network were afraid of getting tested.
“Our network is nervous about wasting its work, not being able to move on to work, the genuine economic effect on that has just been positive and thinks it might clog them in some way,” Alcantar told KGTV.
On Sunday, there were another 19 coronavirus-related deaths in the Australian state of Victoria, the largest accumulation of a day in the number of deaths the country has noticed since the start of the pandemic.
“This news is devastating no matter what age COVID affects people, and we just want to reaffirm again our support through every channel we can provide it,” Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison told reporters in Canberra on Monday.
Victoria’s Department of Health and Human Services also reported 322 new cases of COVID-19 — the lowest daily count recorded in the state since July 29.
“We are seeing some stability. That’s a good thing. But that’s not enough,” Victoria’s state Premier Daniel Andrews told reporters in Melbourne. “And that’s the product of masks and Stage 3. That’s what the experts tell us. The next stage, though, is all about these restrictions that we’ve had to painfully impose.”
Andrews declared a state of disaster in Victoria on Aug. 2, giving authorities additional powers to ensure people are complying with public health directions. Victoria is home to Australia’s second-largest city, Melbourne, which has become a hotspot in the country’s novel coronavirus outbreak.
In total, Australia has reported more than 21,000 diagnosed cases of COVID-19 with at least 313 deaths.
There were 46,395 new cases of COVID-19 identified in the United States on Sunday, bringing the nationwide total soaring past 5 million, according to a count kept by Johns Hopkins University.
It’s the first time in six days that the nation has recorded under 50,000 new cases. An additional 516 coronavirus-related deaths were also reported.
Sunday’s caseload is well below the record set on July 16, when more than 77,000 new cases were identified in a 24-hour reporting period.
A total of 5,045,564 people in the U.S. have been diagnosed with COVID-19 since the pandemic began, and at least 162,938 of them have died, according to Johns Hopkins. The cases include people from all 50 U.S. states, Washington, D.C. and other U.S. territories as well as repatriated citizens.
By May 20, all U.S. states had begun lifting stay-at-home orders and other restrictions put in place to curb the spread of the novel coronavirus. The day-to-day increase in the country’s cases then hovered around 20,000 for a couple of weeks before shooting back up and crossing 70,000 for the first time in mid-July.
Many states have seen a rise in infections in recent weeks, with some — including Arizona, California and Florida — reporting daily records. However, new data published last week in an internal memo from the Federal Emergency Management Agency suggests that the national surge in cases could be leveling off.
