MYTH, Japan (AP) – A reversal of strict restrictions opposing coronavirus in Israel, another record of cases reported in the Japanese capital, and outbreaks in remote spaces such as China’s Xinjiang region on Friday highlighted the ongoing war to cancel COVID-19 Outbreaks as the world’s newest hotspots have brought the number of global instances shown to 14 million.
India reported that the total number of instances shown in the country exceeded one million, the third number after the United States and Brazil, and that the death toll reached more than 25,000. This follows Brazil’s announcement Thursday night that its instances exceeded 2 million, totaling 76,000 deaths.

New instances of the virus have exploded in Israel since restrictions were lifted in late May. The country reported about 1,900 new instances on Thursday. At least 384 other people have died since the outbreak began.
Japan’s capital recorded a single-day record number of new coronavirus cases for a second straight day on Friday with 293. Tokyo was taken off a list of places around the country where discounts are offered under a government scheme to encourage domestic tourism.

Many governments — national, regional and local – have been rolling back reopenings and tightening restrictions to try to stave off more waves of new cases.
Spain, which at the beginning of the pandemic was one of the most affected countries in the world, suffered more than 150 active outbreaks, most commonly in the northern regions of Aragon and Catalonia. The health government on Friday asked the 5.5 million citizens of Barcelona, the regional capital of Catalonia, to remain at home as much as possible to stop the spread of the virus.

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson charted a different course, announcing that the government was no longer asking people to avoid public transit and that as of Aug. 1 would stop advising workers in England to work from home.
Keen to reinvigorate the economy, Johnson wants to see struggling businesses that rely on office workers to rebound. He also announced that beauticians, casinos, bowling alleys and skating rinks would be allowed to reopen next month as long as infection rates don’t start climbing again.
The Prime Minister’s resolution to give employers more room to ask his staff to return to normal paint spots gave the impression of clashing with the prospects of his leading clinical adviser, who said Thursday that “there is absolutely no reason” to replace the paintings in their home. Council.
The official number of pandemic deaths in the United Kingdom, which stood at more than 45,000 on Friday, has for several weeks been the highest in Europe and the third highest in the world in the United States and Brazil.
China, where the coronavirus first emerged late last year, on Friday reported nine imported cases. Health officials in the Muslim northwestern region of Xinjiang also reported six confirmed cases of local transmission. They said another 11 people tested positive but were asymptomatic. China does not include asymptomatic cases in its caseload totals.
Xiniang, where the Chinese government has been accused of mass arrests and other human rights violations opposed to ethnic Muslims, is so far from Beijing that citizens operate according to their own unofficial time zone. Until now, the region had been little affected by virus outbreaks elsewhere that have since been under the impression of being under control.
WARNING: Stories of hope and resilience of COVID-19 survivors
The ongoing outbreak of new instances in India has raised family considerations about preparing some countries to deal with outbreaks that can overwhelm hospitals and control weak fitness systems. The government has ordered a one-week shutdown in the middle generation of Bangalore after an exponential build-up in cases shown.
“Accelerating the number of instances will be India’s biggest challenge in the coming days,” said Dr. Ashish Jha, director of the Harvard Global Health Institute, adding that most instances were still omitted.
South Africa now has the sixth highest number of reported instances in the world, with 324,221 instances representing more than a portion of the total shown in Africa.

Meanwhile, the coronavirus deluge in parts of the United States has produced more record numbers of infections and deaths shown in the south and west.
Hospitals are at breaking point in many areas, fearing that outbreaks are just beginning. At least part of the 50 states have masks or other face blankets.
