If 21 new cases had been reported Thursday in the chinese capital Beijing, bringing to 158 the total number of new cases reported this week, the outbreak is “under control”, has provided the epidemiologist-in-chief of the Center for control and prevention of diseases (CDC), Wu Zunyou.

Extensive residential areas have been quarantined, schools closed and the inhabitants do not have the opportunity to leave the city. The municipality has also called on the Beijing to limit their travel and avoid those non-essential.
Should we worry about this increase in the number of infections in China and a new spread in the world ? Not for the moment according to, Bruno Lina, virologist at the university hospital of Lyon and member of the scientific Council, who spoke Tuesday on France Info about these 106 cases were reported in five days in Beijing : “This is a normal dynamic of the evolution of the epidemic in the absence of reaction. Now what we think is that given that a response has been made, the transmission level will drop. But there is the time of the incubations, which is still ongoing. Therefore, we will still have cases. And then, there will be a decrease (…) The reaction has been perhaps more rapid than it was in the month of December”.
Coronavirus in the USA
the Country most affected by the Covid-19 with 120 001 dead according to the last balance-sheet, for over 2 million cases, the United States hope to have crossed the peak of the epidemic. On Wednesday, they counted less 1000 deaths daily during seven consecutive days, a sign seen as positive even if 20,000 Americans continue to be tested to be positive each day. The country fails to stem the epidemic, which now does less damage in the East, but that has shifted to the West and the South. Anyway, the administration of Donald Trump has already announced that it would not consider a new closure of the economy in the event of a second wave on the country.
the president of The USA has planned to resume “normal life” and to launch his re-election campaign, with a great meeting planned for this Saturday at Tulsa (Oklahoma), in front of 20 000 people. A choice that makes the object of many criticisms and calls for cancellation, which does not seem to disrupt Trump. “We have a scene of 22 000 places, but I think that we will also use the conference room next door and it will hold 40,000 people,” he said Monday. Bruce Dart, the director of health services of the city, he said : “A great meeting of 19 to 20 000 people represents a huge risk to Tulsa today. I think that it is an honour for Tulsa as a president-in-office wants to come visit our community, but not during a pandemic”.
Coronavirus in Brazil
The concern is still high regarding the evolution of the epidemic in Brazil. The country deplores officially 46 510 deaths, but these data could be very far from reality, according to many experts.

The cape of the million of positive cases at Covid-19 since the arrival of the virus in Brazil is expected to be reached in the coming days. The government, however, continues to communicate messages of encouragement, assuring that the situation is under control, the position of a president Jair Bolsonaro refractory containment measures implemented by the governors of the states and supporting the thesis that the consequences of economic of these restrictions could cause damage far more serious than those caused by the virus.
Coronavirus in Spain

This change had led to the criticism from the opposition who accused the government of hiding the real figures of mortality. The delay by some regions, competent in matters of health, in sending their data would cause this change to come the numbers, ” explained the epidemiologist Fernando Simon, spokesperson, special committee for the management of the disease.
the date of The 1st July is the next cap set by the Spanish government in the framework of the déconfinement, even if the state of alert runs until 21 June, to limit travel.

He warns, however, the Italians : “The virus will continue to circulate and we’ll have the sudden reappearance of a few outbreaks. If there is a second wave, this will be our fault.
