many countries have adopted measures of containment to protect their population from the Covid-19. These measures are withdrawn or draw gradually to an end in many countries. Here are a few dates of the end of containment in the affected countries.
Country announced Date of the end of the containment Algeria 29 may Germany, may 4, Belgium 3-may Spain, may 9, United States, no date national, already lifted in several States. France 11 may Greece may 4, India may 3, Italy 3 may Luxembourg, may 11, Morocco 10 June Portugal 2 may Uk June 1, Switzerland, April 27, Tunisia may 3, Coronavirus in China
the Birthplace of the pandemic coronavirus, China’s concern is, therefore, to be faced with a second wave, following the emergence of dozens of new cases in Beijing during the last days. In total, the country has a record of 84 362 cases, and of 4 638 deaths (no deaths over the last 24 hours) to be charged to the Covid-19. This new increase of the contamination is taken very seriously, and the capital of the country plunges little by little into the containment (a score of Beijing neighborhoods curly, many public places again closed…).
Coronavirus in the USA
The United States remains the most affected country in the world by the Covid-19 with a total of 116 127 deaths (+385 in 24 hours) for 2 114 026 case.

The return of the balance sheet to the increase in the country last week led to fears of the arrival of a second wave, but the balance of Monday and Tuesday, the lowest it has been for many weeks, have given new hope to the authorities. The caution is because the virus continues to circulate actively, but 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.

In spite of everything, a déconfinement progressive is taking place. Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro has reopened part of their shops last Wednesday, and their malls on Thursday. Decisions with skepticism by many experts, who consider the opening of stores early on account of the progression of the virus in the country. This is not the opinion of the president, Jair Bolsonaro, who has asked patrons to conduct a “war” against the governors of the States, having taken containment measures, and who called Thursday evening to the population of the filming of the hospitals, “to show whether the beds are occupied or not”…
