7:30 p.m.: The Minister of Health of B.C. urges citizens to attend parties and personal meetings after the recent accumulation of COVID-19 instances in the province.
Health Minister Adrian Dix said many of the most recent cases were the result of such occasions and the figures are a reminder that other people will have to comply with public fitness regulations this summer.
British Columbia’s most sensible doctor, Bonnie Henry, says transmission remains low and citizens want to make sure it stays.
She says non-unusual points in many of the most recent cases come with talking, laughing and sharing drinks and food, especially indoors, as well as spending time in overcrowded areas.
In a briefing tuesday, Henry reported that 146 new cases of COVID-19 have been detected since Friday and that there have been no more deaths.
Active instances increased to 319, while 3273 other people recovered from the disease.
5:45 p.m.: From 5:00 p.m. On Tuesday, Ontario’s regional health offices report a total of 41,682 reported or likely cases of COVID-19, 2,820 deaths, versus 125 new infections in 24 hours.
The expansion in instances across the province included a spike in Chatham-Kent, which on Tuesday reported 40 new instances for the 3 days of the long civic weekend.
Along with Southwestern Public Health, Chatham-Kent is one of two Ontario exercise sets that is lately experiencing its rate of case expansion since the beginning of the pandemic.
Elsewhere, cases continue to decline and the province is at its lowest rate of new infections since before the pandemic peaked in Ontario in the spring.
Ontario has recorded an average of 98 cases consistent with the day for more than seven days, to a peak of approximately six hundred, with the day in mid-April.
Meanwhile, three fatal cases were reported, two in Toronto and one in Simcoe-Muskoka.
The Star count includes some patients reported as “maximum probability” cases of COVID-19, meaning they have symptoms and contacts or background that imply that they are most likely inflamed with the disease but have not yet gained a positive laboratory test.
The province cautions its separate data, published daily at 10:30 a.m., may be incomplete or out of date due to delays in the reporting system, saying that in the event of a discrepancy, “data reported by (the health units) should be considered the most up to date.”
4:30 p.m.: Toronto reports 12 new instances on Tuesday, for a total of 15,432 instances. There were two other deaths for a total of 1,161. The number of hospitalized patients decreased from two to 79, and thirteen recovered for a total of thirteen, 987.
3:02 p.m. Canada’s most sensible public health doctors warned Tuesday that progression vaccines opposed to COVID-19 are giving hope, but they will mean an early end to the pandemic.
Dr. Theresa Tam says canada’s Public Health Agency plans to respond to the pandemic for at least one or more, probably two or three more years.
There are more than two dozen COVID-19 vaccines in clinical trials worldwide and, at best, one or two may be approved for widespread use until the end of the year.
But infectious disease and pandemic experts say it will be some time after a vaccine is approved to produce, distribute and deliver billions of doses.
Dr Srinivas Murthy, an intensive care specialist and pandemic researcher at the University of British Columbia, says the world has never attempted a vaccination program at this rate or scale before.
Tam says immunization paints are only one component of the pandemic reaction and that others want to remain the target of strong public fitness measures for the epidemic, adding physical distance and handwashing.
2 p.m. At least 25 campers and a camp east of Portland, Oregon, tested positive for coronavirus.
The Oregonian/OregonLive reports that the virus was first detected on July 18 at Trout Creek Bible Camp near Corbett when a staff member tested positive, and the camp closed during the season on July 21.
Multnomah County fitness officials said the outbreak had spread to 11 campers and 14 staff members, all aged 20 and under. Camp executive director Joe Fahlman said the camp met all the needs set up through the Oregon Health Authority. These come with temperature controls for all campers and staff, common hand washing and disinfection stations on the 265-acre lot.
The campers were also divided into teams of 10 or less.
2 p.m. The owner of a day care center in Washington state was fined $4,200 for failing to supply an office by preventing staff from dressing in masks. The Daily Herald reported that the State Department of Labor and Industries cited Flower World last week for violating state rules to restrict the spread of COVID-19.
Violations come with non-demanding mask or mask, social distance and worker temperature controls. Authorities say inspectors visited Maltby’s business three times and uncovered violations of state regulations. Owner John Postema cannot be contacted without delay for comment.
2 p.m. Statistics from Turkey’s Ministry of Health show an increase in coronavirus cases, and infections showed that they emerged above 1000.
The ministry’s figures show 1,083 new cases and 18 deaths on Tuesday, bringing the total number of infections to about 235,000 and deaths to 5,765.
Health Minister Fahrettin Koca tweeted the building is “serious.”
Cases had fallen below 1000 before Turkey began reopening businesses in early June. Cases had decreased to an average of 945 in the last 3 weeks.
1:34 p.m. In response to the complaint that the federal “COVID Alert” app works on new smartphones, Dr. Theresa Tam says it is one of many equipment to combat the new coronavirus.
The app launched last week aims to inform users if their phones have recently been near a registered phone with a volunteer who tested positive for COVID-19.
But this only works on phones released in the last five years, as you want a new operating system.
Critics say this will leave out the poorest and elderly Canadians, who are more likely to use older gadgets and suffer the worst effects of the virus.
The government said Monday that another 1.1 million people had downloaded the app.
Tam says we want to use all the equipment we have to fight the pandemic, even if it’s perfect.
1:17 p.m. New York City on Tuesday replaced its most sensible public fitness officer at a key moment in their fight to prevent the coronavirus from firing.
Mayor Bill de Blasio announced the departure of Health Commissioner Dr. Oxiris Barbot. She will be replaced by Dr. Dave A. Chokshi, the number one official physician and care physician in the city’s public hospital system. He also worked at the Louisiana Department of Health before and after Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
Barbot told staff in an internal memorandum that he had resigned because, as the city is ready for a coronavirus outbreak at a time imaginable, “staff talents will have to be exploited more along with those of our sister agencies” and the fight against the virus will be greater. You have to take a position “without distractions.” “Barbot had prioritized non-public protective devices for fitness personnel and police officers who implemented personal protective equipment.
De Blasio, a Democrat, thanked Barbot for his “important work” in the crisis, while New York was the national epicenter of the virus this spring.
1:17 p.m. The Israeli army announced it would issue an opposing order to the coronaviruses this week to slow the outbreak of Israeli infections.
In collaboration with the Ministry of Health, the military said the command will try to expedite testing, tactile search, quarantine orders and other pandemic elements to reduce the number of infections. The order will begin operations on Thursday.
The army enlisted in Israel’s fight against the virus last month after a new coronavirus tsar said it would be the most productive place to manage the logistics of combating the epidemic.
Israel largely contained its first outbreak in the spring, but saw an increase in some cases during the summer. It now has one of the highest numbers of population-adjusted daily infections.
1:07 p.m. The director of public health of Prince Edward Island says his province will not take a final resolution on the adoption of the federal government’s COVID-19 touch search application until it is known in Ontario, where it has already been launched.
Dr. Heather Morrison says the use of the app in Ontario provides an opportunity for other provinces to compare before adopting it.
Morrison says P.E.I. will be a component of a federal advisory organization that will make the app protect the privacy and privacy of its users.
She says the app will provide a layer of coverage opposite the virus, but it will not update fitness measures such as physical distance, hand washing and the desire to wear mask in indoor public spaces.
Users of the loose app, available for Android and iPhone, can be notified if their phone has recently been near a user’s telephone who later volunteered to test positive for COVID-19.
There are no active instances of COVID-19 on the island and Morrison says the 36 instances shown since the start of the pandemic are cured.
12:44 p.m. Parties and weddings in large houses, summer camps, concerts, crowded bars and restaurants, unmasked grocery stores: Americans’ resistance to life restrictions is perceived as one of the main reasons why the United States has accumulated many more deaths and has shown Coronavirus Infections. other countries.
The United States has recorded more than 1,500,000 deaths in just over six months and is approaching the five million COVID-19 infections that are below standards.
Some Americans have resisted disguised and social estrangement, calling these precautions an overreaction or an attack on their freedom. Public fitness experts say such a habit has been exacerbated by confusing and inconsistent recommendations from politicians and a patchwork of approaches to engage the scourge across county, state and federal governments.
“What infuriates is that country after country and state after state have shown us how we can engage the virus,” said Dr. Jonathan Quick, who leads a pandemic initiative for the Rockefeller Foundation. “It’s not that we don’t know what works. We do.”
The number of infections shown in the United States exceeded 4.7 million, with new cases exceeding 60,000 by day. While this figure is below a peak of more than 70,000 in the current part of July, cases are in 26 states, many in the south and west, and deaths are spreading in 35 states.
On average, the number of deaths that coincide with the day in the U.S. Over the more than two weeks it has increased from approximately 780 to 1,056, according to research through The Associated Press.
12:28 p.m. Florida gained another harsh reminder Tuesday of how the coronavirus pandemic was so fatal: another 247 deaths were reported.
This means that the state had another 7,526 people who died of COVID-19 headaches. The last diary generally does not reflect deaths in the last 24 hours, but in recent weeks, and possibly also caused by the disruptions of Tropical Storm Isaiah.
However, this is the third-highest number of deaths reported in the State Department of Health’s daily pandemic report. Last week, the highest number of deaths recorded on Friday 257.
New COVID-19 cases also increased Tuesday, with 5,446 new diagnoses, a day after the state reported the fewest infections since June 23. That’s an increase of 694 from Monday’s tally.
However, the drop in cases continues to close many of the state’s COVID-19 checkpoint sites due to the storm. The effects of the reported tests on an unmarried day reflect controls for several days.
12:00 p.m. Ontario reported cases of COVID-19, which raised the total to 419 new infections in the province over the long weekend.
The 91 cases included nine at Windsor-Esex, which has the number of active infections in Ontario in 262, well above Toronto much larger, which is 184 and moved to level 3 last Friday, allowing bars and restaurants to serve consumers indoors and theaters. gyms and playgrounds to reopen.

It came into effect on Saturday. Nearly a quarter of Wisconsin’s 55,328 instances had been shown in the last 14 days, according to knowledge collected through Johns Hopkins University.
Much of the information occurred in county counties in the southeast corner of the state. But the disease has spread at an accelerated rate in sparsely populated rural counties in northern Wisconsin.
Evers, a Democrat, had issued an order to stay in the house for a while after the pandemic erupted in the state in March. The Supreme Court of the conservative-leaning state overturned it in May due to pressure from restaurants and taverns.
Republican lawmakers are talking about convening a special consultation to cancel the existing mandate.
11:50 a.m. The German government is raising its caution against some popular destinations in Turkey after discovering that coronavirus levels there are low.

Afghan President Ashraf Ghani spokesman Sediq Sediqqi said management focuses on preventive measures at universities. Other schools will remain closed for now.
The country’s Ministry of Health said that despite recent relief in the number of new cases, many others have not adhered to protocols to prevent him from spreading the recent Eid ul-Adha holiday. This means that there will possibly be an increase in viruses in the coming weeks.
In the last 24 hours, the Afghan government has recorded 36 cases shown and no deaths. However, foreign organizations claim that up to 80% of the population has been examined.
11:29 a.m. The Alberta government says it will make it mandatory for maximum students and mask wearing when schools reopen in September to be mandatory.

Children won’t have to wear a mask when sitting elegantly away from each other.
She says the province will provide two reusable masks for students and staff members, and workers will also get an optional face protector.
Alberta’s medical director of health, Dr. Deena Hinshaw, says she has reviewed COVID-19 studies and believes that masks serve to restrict the spread of the disease in schools.
She says the mask is to reopen the needs of the advertised schools in Ontario, Quebec and Nova Scotia.
11:27 a.m. While Quebec this week allows meetings of up to 250 internal and external people, a Mohawk network south of Montreal is not doing the same.

It is an inactivated virus vaccine developed through Bharat Biotech and a DNA vaccine candidate developed through Zydus Cadila. Phase 2 trials for the candidate vaccine developed through the University of Oxford will begin at 17 sites next week.
The ministry added that some of all coronavirus deaths in India are under the age of 60. It indicates that 37% of deaths were between the ages of forty-five and 60. Global studies indicate that the disease is fatal to the elderly. Health experts in India say this anomaly may simply be due to the fact that deaths among the elderly have been detected or tested in India.
India is number 3 showing cases of coronavirus with 1.8 million and number five deaths with more than 39,000, according to a Johns Hopkins University count.
10:55 a.m. Kosovo’s deputy prime minister says the coronavirus test was done.

In the week that followed, there have been six deaths from the virus, 3 fewer than a week earlier. The total netherlands amounts to 6,150 deaths shown. The actual number is high because not all deaths from the suspected coronavirus have been tested.
10:50 a.m. COVID-19 wreaked havoc on some of Toronto’s most vulnerable communities, but for two citizens of a new housing allocation in the city center, the pandemic was an unforeseen blessing.
Just a few months ago, Jason Greig and Rob Dods all slept in tents. Today, the two men are among 149 in the past homeless citizens living in two rented apartment buildings in the city during the height of the pandemic.
The agreement reached between the Toronto Housing, Support and Shelter Administration and the construction developer, Times Group Corporation, shortly after a series of breakouts in the shelter formula led to a wave of outdoor camps in the city center.
Residents moved in late April and have since benefited from the amenities they were at a disadvantage when they were on the street: a hot shower, their own kitchen, air conditioning and privacy.
But the deal never became permanent and until the end of this month, the 149 citizens will have to move because the buildings are in a position to be demolished.
Greig and Dods said they were grateful for the program and would like the city to pursue features in the future.

Although the Nashville Symphony Orchestra had made a decision, Matthew Loden, TSO’s chief executive, acknowledges that his orchestra is “ahead of the curve” in doing so.
According to Loden, the Toronto Symphony Orchestra has spent the past year executing a strategic plan “to evolve our orchestra in a way that reflects Toronto’s dynamism, diversity and creativity.”

Combined over the same two days, there are 242 more solved with more than 42,000 tests processed. Currently, 29 of the 34 public fitness teams report five or fewer cases, 16 of which report no new cases.
Officials deployed dozens of shuttles, as well as army trucks, to send medical corps of personnel into misery and authorized business personnel. Most domestic flights to and from the capital have been cancelled and night curfews will return in some locations.
Crowds piled up in some supermarkets on Monday to make a food inventory after a hasty return from a lockout that caused panic in shopping.
The lockdown is softer than the tax originally, which largely confined others to their homes for months, but is more serious than the quarantine restrictions to which the capital had recently been subjected. It prevails in the city of Manila and in the outlying provinces for two weeks.
Businesses that in the past allowed partially reopened, adding beauty salons, gyms, restaurants and tourist destinations, will be closed again. Licensed companies, adding banks, fitness and food processors, will have to come and go from their homework workers.

9:38 a.m. Moscow has begun to apply its regulations on the use of masks more vigorously amid a build-up of new cases of coronavirus over the more than 3 weeks.
This week, police began fining subway passengers in the Russian capital with 5,000 rubles (90 Canadian dollars) for failing to use protection, Tass’ official press service, which brought in an unidentified police officer, reported. Stores have also begun to demand that consumers wear masks after the city corridor intensified inspections.
Moscow has been implementing a mandatory masking policy since 12 May, when it began to ease a blockade aimed at reducing the spread of the epidemic. Although mask regulations were safe on July 13, they remained mandatory on public transport, medical centers and department stores. However, needs are largely mocked, restaurants and department stores are full and few locals worry about using coverage in public.
“The obligations imposed on corporations to comply with the coverage measures have not been nullified,” city broker spokeswoman Gulnara Penkova said tuesday. Moscow continues the regime of masks, he said.
The city is the epicenter of coronavirus infections in Russia, with 28% of the country’s total. The number of new daily instances in Moscow has increased from a low of 531 on July 16, and 691 new instances were reported on Tuesday.
The city council fined the department store with more than three hundred million rubles for violating mask policy, Tass reported last week, and quoted the head of Moscow’s advertising department, Alexei Nemeryuk.
Fines occur when Moscow prepares to open on September 1.
9:14 a.m. French President Emmanuel Macron announced that domestic caregivers who helped the elderly and disabled during the pandemic will get a bonus of up to 1,000 euros ($1,175) until the end of the year.
During a stopover in the city of Toulon in southern France on Tuesday, Macron paid tribute to some 320,000 caregivers who provided an essential home for another 1.1 million people in the country.
He says the bond will be financed through a package of 160 million euros from the state and the authorities.
In the past, the French government had announced a premium of up to 1,500 euros ($1760) for fitness staff in hospitals and nursing homes operating in the spaces most affected by the virus.
France, which has shown 30294 virus-related deaths since the pandemic, has nearly shot down the virus with a strict two-month national blockade.
However, the country is now experiencing a build-up of viral infections, especially when other young people gather in cafes or dances and families gather for the summer holidays.
9:14 a.m. Local government officials say 166 employees tested positive for coronavirus at a canning plant in a southern German city, where about 230 on a nearby vegetable farm have already been infected.

The first 43 infections were reported over the weekend after a first circular test. Officials: The virus has been transmitted from market farm staff to canned plant staff and expect them to face a singles outbreak.
New infections in Germany have increased in recent weeks as officials are facing small outbreaks in other parts of the country.
7.52am Bayer Leverkusen said midfielder Nadiem Amiri will miss his last Europa League match against Rangers on Thursday after being in contact with a suspected coronavirus sufferer.
The club says Amiri himself has reported a “brief” contact in his life and is kept in the house for a week as a precautionary measure.
Leverkusen’s Director General of Sport Rudi Vuller said in a statement that “Nadiem’s behaviour is exemplary and important. Precisely because the number of infections is spreading in Germany, this is an example of a serious and culprit technique for the pandemic.”
Leverkusen takes a 3-1 lead in the first leg in March when he meets the Rangers on Thursday.
Amiri has played matches with Leverkusen this season in all competitions.
6:56 a.m. China and the World Health Organization are discussing plans to hint at the origin of the coronavirus outbreak following an attack on the country through two experts from the United Nations agency, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced Tuesday.
Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin told reporters that experts had conducted “preparatory consultations on cooperation in clinical studies on virus studies” during his two-week stay, which ended on Sunday.
His interviews focused on studies in population spaces, the environment, molecules, animal traceability and coronavirus transmission pathways, as well as additional clinical curricula, Wang said.
Both sides also studied the animal source imaginable, the intermediate host and the direction of coronavirus transmission to “prevent and control the epidemic more effectively,” Wang said.
Wang said both sides had been implementing a plan for China’s contribution to the global tracking effort, a solution followed by the WHO World Health Assembly. There has been no report on when this effort will begin in earnest.
The virus was first detected in the city of Wuhan in central China late last year and has been connected to a wholesale food market where wild animals were sold. Scientists have probably gone from being a wild animal like a bat to humans through an intermediate species, in all likelihood the anteater-shaped pangolin.
However, China says a full investigation would likely have to wait until the pandemic is passing and has rejected accusations that it delayed the delivery of data to WHO at the start of the epidemic.
At 0608, the Italian air controller supplier, ENAV, said the air in July showed symptoms of recovery after the coronavirus stopped.
Air traffic in July 3 times higher than the previous month in Italy, as the first Western country affected by the coronavirus outbreak began to emerge from the blockade, ENAV reported on Tuesday.
EnAV said last month 75,200 flights were recorded, 60% less than last year, but particularly more than the 26,000 in June. A new recovery is expected in August. On the first weekend of August, flights halved from last year.
In July, almost part of the flights were international, a quarter of domestic flights and a third of the flyovers without take-off or landing in Italian airspace.
5:55 a.m. China aims to increase Hong Kong’s coronavirus testing capability to 20 times its existing capacity, said the head of a team sent from Guangdong province to help the city in its worst outbreak in history.
China’s verification team of about 60 others will work with the Hong Kong government and 3 in mainland China to verify that corporations process between 100,000 and 200,000 samples a day, Yu Dewen said in a video interview published Monday through the media.
“Our main project is to help the Hong Kong government conduct large-scale testing for the population,” said Yu, who is a Guangdong Health Comproject official. Yu also led the Guangdong delegation sent earlier to help Wuhan, the city in central China where the virus made the first impression last year.
5:48 a.m. Booking Holdings Inc. is the newest online giant to eliminate thousands of jobs after the coronavirus pandemic hit the industry.
Up to 25% of Booking.com workers, the company’s largest company, will be eliminated, the company said on a Tuesday. That’s about 4, 000 workers. Discounts will be implemented globally.
CEO Glenn Fogel discussed the resolution in a video call with workers, the more than five months represented “the greatest social and economic crisis of our lives.”
The pandemic has severely affected Booking’s business and the travel industry as a whole remains under “significant pressure,” the CEO added. “In my heart, for a long time, I hoped this would not happen. However, nothing can and will continue to mitigate the effect this crisis has had on the travel industry and our business.”
The continued dissemination of COVID-19 has componently reduced tourism, while disrupting the maximum number of business trips in favour of videoconferencing and other remote work. Airlines have announced massive task cuts, hotels have closed and the industry’s online component has been saved.
5:19 a.m. Undumeriod’s leader said the coronavirus pandemic has the largest educational disruption in history, with schools closed in more than 160 countries in mid-July, affecting more than one billion students.
In addition, Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said Tuesday that at least 40 million international youth were in school “during his critical preschool year.”
As a result, he warned that the world is facing “a generational disaster that can simply accumulate incalculable human potential, undermine decades of progress, and exacerbate entrenched inequalities.”
“We are at a turning point for the world’s youth and youth,” Guterres said in a 26-page video message and a political report. “The decisions that governments and partners are making now will have a lasting effect on millions of young people and the progression of customers in countries in the coming decades.”
Guterres called for the reopening of schools once local transmission of the virus is controlled.
4:28 a.m. The number of passengers on a Norwegian cruiser sent coronavirus-proof reached 43, the government said Tuesday.
The MS Roald Amundsen outbreak has raised new questions about protecting cruise shipments during the pandemic, even when the industry is pushing to resume shipment after the close of March.
On Monday, the ship’s owner stopped everything and Norway closed its ports to cruise ships for two weeks.
The city of Trondheim reported the two new cases: a man in their 60s with mild symptoms and a child under 10 without symptoms, saying they had both been passengers on the ship. They’ve been identified.
A third passenger will be tested on Tuesday, the city said. Trondheim is halfway to Tromsoe, north of the Arctic Circle, where the empty ship is moored.
But as the cruise line acts as a local ferry, traveling from port to port along Norway’s west coast, some passengers have disembarked in the direction and possibly spread the virus to local communities.
A total of 69 Norwegian municipalities may have been affected, Norwegian news firm NTB reported on Monday.
4:00 a.m. A challenge to the COVID-19 ban in Newfoundland and Labrador is expected to be heard in the province’s Supreme Court from Tuesday.
Kim Taylor, a resident of Halifax, and the Canadian Civil Liberties Association filed a complaint with the Supreme Court of Newfoundland and Labrador in May, saying the restrictions violated the Charter and were under provincial jurisdiction.
The provincial government has passed a law prohibiting entry into the province to any permanent citizen and asymptomatic staff in key spaces.
Taylor was denied the opportunity to go to Newfoundland after his mother’s sudden death.
The agreement says it also defies amendments to the province’s Public Health Promotion and Protection Act, which allows police to detain and return others to “entry points” in the province, and allows for greater search powers.
The case is expected to be known until Friday.
Taylor stated that he was denied his application for exemption to enter the province of his home after his mother’s death, despite a 14-day self-isolation plan upon his arrival.
Although his case was later reconsidered and granted an exemption from the provincial authorities, Taylor claimed that the resolution came too late.
