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. This will mean that we will not have been able to apply what we have learned.” A message that has not been heard in the region of Venice, where the rate of reproduction of the virus is passed from 0.43 % to 1.63 %. “If we continue to walk around without a mask, bonded to each other, to shout to the conspiracy theories according to which the virus is an invention of the pharmaceutical companies, martian or astronaut, it is inevitable that such things happen”, has again deplored the Luca Zaia. the president of the Veneto region.

Four additional deaths were reported, bringing the total balance to 9016 dead since the beginning of theepidemic. The controversy is still large in the country about the working conditions in slaughterhouses, places where several outbreaks of infection have been discovered in recent weeks. The dissemination of a video, which seems to be recorded in the month of April in the premises of the slaughterhouse Tommies to Gütershloh in North Rhine-Westphalia has created the scandal in recent days. It is this slaughter that was born the largest outbreak facing the country, with more than 1500 employees have been tested positive to the virus. “I find it outrageous that Tönnies has reacted so late, and now everyone in the district suffers the consequences, one has even the right to go on holiday,” said a resident in remarks picked up by FranceInfo.

The latter said on Monday 29 June that few people outside of the slaughterhouse were contaminated by the Covid-19.
Coronavirus in Portugal
Anger in Portugal ! The decision of the United Kingdom to exclude the country from the list of safe countries for its nationals, it has created controversy in Portugal this weekend. “It is always horrible to compare the figures of disease and death, but it is absurd that the United Kingdom imposes a quarantine for passengers returning from countries that, in the light of all of the indicators of the pandemic, presents better results than the United Kingdom itself”, said Saturday the minister of foreign Affairs of portugal, Augusto Santos Silva, during a tv interview. With this decision, any traveller arriving in Portugal from the 10th of July will have to follow the quarantine measures on arrival on british soil. The minister of foreign affairs has pointed out in particular that the cases were rare in the Algarve, a region that the British are many to visit in the summer. However, uk nationals represent the first source of tourism revenues in Portugal.
Since a month, the Portugal struggle against a resurgence of the epidemic, mainly in Lisbon. The country has 42 000 cases of Covid-19 for a little more than 1500 deaths. Lisbon remains in part in quarantine this week. The capital region represents 80% of outbreaks of contagious diseases discovered in Portugal, while 300 to 400 new cases daily are detected in a country which had until now only about 40 000 cases of coronavirus. The Prime minister Antonio Costa has warned and announced “voting is a civic duty containment at home” for the neighborhoods, city limits, concerned. It is not of Lisbon but of a few districts of municipalities close”, has he insisted, no doubt sensitive to the possible impact of this announcement on tourism.
In these neighborhoods, residents are invited to stay with them, and can not get out to go to work, do their shopping for food or health as well as for medical appointments. Any gathering of over 10 persons is prohibited. Since 1 July, Portugal is split into three areas. In the one where the rules are less strict, wearing a mask is still required in the transport and places closed, but the gatherings are allowed for up to 20 people. In the second area, which relates to Lisbon and its environs, we are talking about a state of “contingency”. The collections are limited to 10 people and the shops close as early as 20h. Finally, in the third area, the containment is in effect, and the business limited to a maximum of 5 people.
Coronavirus in Belgium

Swimming pools, theatres and cinema are allowed to reopen but with reservation systems and niche determined to limit the crowds. Receptions can take place over the festive halls, but by limiting the number of guests to 50 people. The wearing of masks in the public space is advisable but not mandatory. It is now the summer holidays which crystallize the attention of the powers publics. According to the belgian press, at least 10 million Belgians have decided to pass on the coasts of their country, resulting in a peak inflow that it will be necessary to manage to prevent a resumption of the contamination. An application should be put in place to prevent the influx and try to manage the flow.
Coronavirus in Africa

For The World Africa, this increase is however to be nuanced, because mainly due to the situation in South Africa which “has a third-party contamination of the continent and a quarter of its dead”.
