Here is a brief summary of the latest coronavirus advances around the world over the past few hours:
All this comes from me Jessica Murray, now I give the floor to my Fellow Australians, thank you for reading.
On Friday, Australia’s most populous state, Victoria, said 12 others had died of coronavirus in the last 24 hours and had reported 113 new cases.
Victoria, which has the hot spot for the virus in the country, had reported 23 deaths and 113 cases a day earlier, its lowest daily accumulation in just two months.
Strict blockade measures have helped mitigate the buildup of Covid-19 infections in Victoria after the state peaked at more than 700 cases in a day about 3 weeks ago.
Coronavirus cases in Latin America have surpassed the mark of 7 million, according to a Reuters count.
The region has the highest infections in the world, some countries are starting to show a slight minimum of infections.
The average case fell to about 77,800 in the last seven days through Wednesday, down from 85,000 last week, according to the government’s figure-based count.
Six months after the first case in Brazil, the country with the worst outdoor epidemic, the United States reported 44,235 new cases and 984 deaths in the last 24 hours on Thursday, bringing the total to 3761,391 cases and the number of deaths from Covid-19 to 118,649.
Children and other young people are less likely than adults to spread severe cases of Covid-19 infection, and death from pandemic disease in young people is exceptionally rare, according to a British study published Thursday.
One of covid-19 patients admitted to 138 UK hospitals found that less than 1% were children, and of those less than 1%, or six in total, died, all were already suffering from serious illnesses or underlying fitness problems.
Malcolm Semple, professor of epidemic medicine and child health at the British University of Liverpool, who co-directed the work, said:
Surely we can be sure that Covid himself harms young people on a significant scale.
The highest message will have to be that (in young people with Covid-19) serious illnesses are rare and death is incredibly rare, and that (parents) deserve to be sure that their children do not suffer direct harm when returning to school.
Global knowledge of the spread of the coronavirus pandemic shows that young people and other young people account for only 1 to 2% of Covid-19 cases worldwide. The vast majority of reported infections in young people are mild or asymptomatic, with few deaths recorded.
For the study, published in the medical journal BMJ, the Semple team assessed the knowledge of 651 children and young people under the age of 19 hospitalized by Covid-19 between January 17 and July 3.
The six young people who died all had “deep comorability,” according to the researchers, and this is a “remarkably low” mortality rate compared to 27% on all age teams – 0 to 106 years – of Patients with Covid-19 hospitalized in the same period.
Although the overall threat of young people contracting severe Covid is “minimal,” the researchers said, young blacks and those with obesity are disproportionately affected, as previous studies in adults have shown.
The test also showed that young people would possibly revel in a variety of symptoms, adding sore throat, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea and rash, as well as the already identified symptoms of Covid-19 fever, shortness of breath and cough.
British staff will be encouraged to return to the component of a primary media crusade that will be presented through the government next week.
Television messages and newspapers will herald the government’s purpose of reducing the number of staff fleeing home, fearing that cities and city centres will become ghost areas while staff remain away.
Labour criticized the plans as “inappropriate,” while the CBI said any throwback to the paintings involves a “hybrid” technique that does not force others to return.
Labour Minister of Shadow Affairs Lucy Powell said:
It is unworthy that the government is threatening others in this way during a pandemic. Forcing others to decide between their fitness and their paintings is unacceptable.
Number 10 condemns this briefing and categorically dismisses such a campaign.
Dame Carolyn Fairbairn, CEO of CBI, said a hybrid technique with running from home is the most productive way forward.
In statements to Times Radio on Thursday, Dame Carolyn said:
It’s a matter of coercion. I can say that more firmly.
It’s about creating the opportunity and confidence to achieve a hybrid that makes the most of either world.
Our offices are in danger of dying. And we’d do a lot if we let that happen.
A government spokesman said: “We are working hard with employers across the country to help them protect Covid’s paint sites and give others the confidence to repaint the coronavirus pandemic. “
“Next week, we’ll bring the benefits of going back to paintings and making companies realize it’s good.
“We will also provide practical steps that corporations are taking to ensure that offices are secured through Covid, as well as other tactics to get to work. “
Brazil reported 44,235 new cases of Covid-19 and 984 deaths in the last 24 hours, the ministry of fitness said.
Brazil has recorded 3,761,391 cases of viruses since the onset of the pandemic, while the official number of Covid-19 deaths has increased to 118,649, according to ministry data, in the world’s worst coronavirus outbreak outside the United States.
Additional aid will have to be directed at rapid sectors of the UK economy, such as the automotive industry, in the wake of the coronavirus crisis, the Labour Party said.
Shadow Minister Lucy Powell has accused conservatives of “turning their backs” on promises to the spaces where the automotive industry is concentrated, such as the North Midlands, Wales and Yorkshire.
They come with parts of the country where Labour lost the floor in the December general election.
Powell said the automotive sector had been severely affected by the Covid-19 outbreak, new car registrations dropped by 97% in April.
The paintings said research through the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) revealed that car production dropped by about 50% in June compared to last year.
Powell also called for the industry’s chain of origin, as well as a focus on creating “green jobs” and making sure the UK leads the way in decarbonisation.
The shadow minister said:
The leading British car has been shaken by the coronavirus and livelihoods are at stake.
But ministers do not pay attention to the explanation of why and refuse to acknowledge that some sectors have been more affected than others.
They urgently want to focus on the sectors they want, focusing on creating professional and green jobs, and acting intelligently through the UK communities they have promised to protect.
Nothing would be a betrayal of many communities that helped Boris Johnson be elected.
Several U. S. primary states, and Texas, are ignoring new calls from federal fitness officials to Covid-19 testing of some exposed to the virus, joining a broad rebuke from the Trump administration through public fitness officials.
Arizona, California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Texas, New Jersey, and New York plan to continue testing asymptomatic Americans who have been exposed to Covid-19, despite new Rules from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) suggesting that such tests may not be necessary.
“Texas’ current rules propose to test all close contacts in a shown case, as this allows early identification of instances among others at increased risk of infection,” a Texas spokesman said in a statement. Department of State Health Services. ” There is no planned replacement at this time. “
California and New York have made statements.
The Florida Department of Health said asymptomatic testing is conducted while evaluating new CDC recommendations, and Texas also said it would conduct an evaluation.
The CDC said this week that others exposed to Covid-19 but who have no symptoms may not want to be tested, which would shock doctors and politicians and provoke accusations, the politically motivated recommendation.
Even before CDC guidelines, coronavirus testing in the United States had decreased. The United States assessed an average of another 675,000 people per day last week, peaking last July at more than 800,000 people per day.
Nationally, cases have declined for five consecutive weeks, but infections are emerging in the Midwest. And four states reported a record of a cumulative day on Thursday when the death toll in the United States soared above 180,000.
In the past, the CDC examined all other people who had close contact with a user diagnosed with Covid-19.
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said new York State would adhere to the new rules and questioned the claim that politics plays no role in the change.
“This 180-degree reversal of Covid-19’s verification rules is reckless, science-based, and has the potential to damage the long-term reputation (CDC), Cuomo said in a joint statement, along with the governors of New Jersey and Connecticut, who also said his states would adhere to CDC rules.
Admiral Brett Giroir, undersecretary of fitness at the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), said there is no political tension on the part of the administration and said testing asymptomatic patients too soon can produce false negatives and contribute to the spread of the virus.
CNN and the New York Times reported Wednesday that U. S. public fitness was ordered through senior Trump administration officials to advance changes.
CDC Director Robert Redfield issued Thursday that “anyone who wants a Covid-19 check can take a check,” but “not everyone who wants a check wants a check. “
Many countries around the world had early evidence, but the World Health Organization said Thursday that, if resources permit, others exposed to coronavirus should be tested even if they do not have immediate symptoms of infection.
European governments have used large-scale control and isolation of the virus. France, for example, recommends that anyone who believes they want a control do so, and in Germany, other people are invited in close contact with a user with Covid-19. to take a check.
A phone call about the economic relief of the coronavirus between U. S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and an adviser to President Donald Trump failed to make any progress, and Pelosi said talks would resume until Trump’s leadership agreed to $2. 2 billion in aid.
Pelosi and White House chief of staff Mark Meadows spoke on the phone for about 25 minutes, the first chance in weeks to resume negotiations on covid-19’s paralyzed aid, but the two sides left as soon as ever.
This verbal exchange obviously showed that the White House continues to forget the wishes of other Americans as the coronavirus crisis devastates lives and livelihoods.
We are willing to broadcast, to meet them in the middle, it would be 2. 2 trillion dollars, and when they are in a position to do so, we will be in a position to talk and ignore the details.
But we can’t go any less because we have to satisfy the wishes of the American people, we are sure that we will replace them, we don’t take a penny from them, and we would probably not love them.
Meadows and Pelosi are two of the four negotiators involved in law talks with Americans and companies suffering from a coronavirus pandemic that has now killed some 180,000 people.
The others are Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and Democratic Senate Leader Chuck Schumer.
The talks failed on 7 August, with the parties side by side on primary issues, adding the amount of unemployment benefits to tens of millions of other people who were unemployed due to the pandemic, aid to state and local governments, and investment for schools and food aid. Programs.
The Democratic-controlled house approved a $3. 4 coronavirus relief bill in May, but Pelosi proposed that amount through a $1 bill. The White House, which had submitted a $1 bill for help, rejected the offer.
Since then, Democrats have demanded that the White House agree to “meet in the middle. “
Pelosi-Meadows’ phone call came hours before Trump settled for his party’s nomination Thursday night. Some Democrats said they didn’t expect the White House to resume negotiations before the end of this week’s Republican National Convention.
On Wednesday, Meadows said in an interview with Politico that he was not sure the negotiations would resume soon.
An organization of South American presidents agreed to percentageize data and coordinate access to imaginable Covid-19 vaccines to counter the continent’s virus at hand, the Chilean chancellor said.
Andrés Allamand said a coordinated technique for obtaining a vaccine through members of the Prosur block, consisting of Chile, Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Paraguay, Peru, Ecuador and Guyana, would be beneficial.
“A joint effort will bring benefits, in terms of access, guaranteed amounts and prices,” he said.
Discussions reflect intensive studies on the position of developed and emerging countries to ensure that their citizens have fast and affordable Covid-19 vaccines.
Lately, more than vaccines are being developed and tested worldwide, according to the World Health Organization, with 25 human clinical trials.
Vaccine trials, adding up those developed through Johnson
Allamand said the bloc had discussed production in Argentina and Mexico of the vaccine created through British pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca, and “very advanced” production paintings in Brazil, and the prospect of those projects to gain advantages throughout the region.
He said Chile is also further achieving its own international vaccine relations.
“In Chile we are following the progress of at least five projects and have contacted some of these laboratories and countries in particular to be able to access these vaccines at reasonable costs and as temporarily as possible,” he said.
Allamand said Prosur executives also agreed to coordinate the eventual reopening of their borders, establishing a technical commission that will report on how this can be done within 10 days, adding potentially stricter access needs, such as a negative Covid-19 PCR test. .
Reports that Syrian fitness services are filling out and expanding death and burial notices recommend that real cases of coronavirus in war-torn country exceed official figures confirmed by the government, a senior UN humanitarian official said.
Syria has reported more than 2500 cases of Covid-19, adding up to one hundred deaths.
However, UN Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs Ramesh Rajasingham told the UN Security Council that increasing the number of patients puts pressure on Syria’s fragile fitness system, now in its tenth year of war.
Many others are reluctant to seek re-entry into medical facilities, causing more serious headaches when they arrive, he said, adding that fitness personnel do not yet have non-public protective devices or related supplies good enough.
Of the cases of viruses shown through the Syrian Ministry of Health, Rajasingham said, most are attributed to a known source.
He said several fitness facilities had briefly suspended their operations this month due to capacity issues and had become inflamed with the coronavirus.
At the Al Hol camp in northeastern Syria, where 65,000 women and young people basically related to Islamic State fighters are being held, Rajasingham said 12 fitness facilities had to suspend their operations this month due to infection, a duty to isolate themselves or a lack of non-public protection. Team.
Since then, the camp’s two cash hospitals have resumed operations, he said.
Germany and Belgium, which are on the index of Syrian humanitarian problems in the Security Council, said in a group that the spread of Covid-19 across the country was expanding exponentially.
Test functions are very low, so maximum instances can pass undetected, they said. “The numbers we’re listening to are just the tip of the iceberg. “
They also warned that “the destruction of fitness services and fitness shortages seriously compromise any response. “
Poland will ban flights from 46 countries, France and Spain, starting September 2, according to a draft regulation published Thursday, as the country deals with an increase in coronavirus infections.
The resolution follows specific measures to reintroduce restrictions on public life in the most affected areas of the country, as the government attempts to combat the spread of the virus by resorting to total blockade.
“Due to the risk of spreading COV-2 SARS infections, it is to exercise the right to introduce air traffic bans . . . to minimize the risk to public health,” the regulation says.
Poland closed its borders and suspended flights in March to prevent the spread of coronavirus; however, it has eased restrictions on public life, with the reopening of shopping malls, hotels and restaurants in May.
Poland’s national airline, PLL LOT, resumed flights abroad on July 1, nearly 4 months after being postponed.
Other countries affected by the ban are popular tourist destinations in Montenegro and Croatia, such as Romania, the United States, Israel, Mexico and Brazil.
Poland reported 64,689 of the new coronavirus and 2,010 deaths.
Gambian President Adama Barrow has prolonged state of emergency in mainland Africa’s smallest country for 21 days since the rise of coronavirus.
The Gambia, which has a population of just over 2 million, has reported 2,743 cases since the March outbreak and 93 deaths. Cases reported daily were low until mid-July.
Cases have increased exponentially in the country, which is basically surrounded by Senegal in recent weeks, which has led the government to re-impose restrictive measures.
Neighboring Senegal reported 13,294 with 277 deaths.
Public meetings in The Gambia have been banned, curfews have been declared since dusk and schools remain closed. Places of worship would possibly remain open with restrictive security measures, according to the communiqué.
