Alabama will begin requiring a face mask after the state has reported a 40-death pandemic on a single day. In Texas, which set a record today for new instances shown at approximately 10,800, Republican Gov.

One of the toughest measures is in New York, where Gov. Andrew Cuomo has added to a list that now totals 22 states whose service will have to remain quarantined for 14 days for the three-state region.

After an increase in daily infections last month, Israel made the decision last week to re-impose restrictions, close spaces for occasions, theaters, bars and clubs. It has imposed blockades in spaces with high infection rates, leading to protests by locals.
The authorities warned that if the number of instances were minimized in the coming days, Israel would still have no option to re-block the entire country, as it did in the spring.
