Summary: A senior French government adviser to Covid-19 warned on Friday that new abnormalities of the disease “could” appear in the winter months this year. The country is currently battling an unprecedented speaker in new cases stemming from Delta highly contagious diversity, which was first recorded in India. Globally, the total confirmed cases of Covid-19 reached more than 192,729,000, with more than 4,138,000 deaths and more than 139,249,000 refunds. Brazil, India and Mexico lead all countries in new cases confirmed with more than 49,000, 35,000, and 14,000 cases reported respectively. The US has reported the highest number of confirmed cases, more than 34 million, and currently has a seven-day average of more than 39,000 cases. Louisiana, Arkansas, and Florida are the states with the highest number of reported cases, at 47, 43, and 41 out of 100,000, respectively.

Introduction:

An infectious disease specialist has urged French people to return to dressing and wearing masks, saying the “return to normal” could be by 2022 or 2023. The government’s strategy to curb the current four-phase wave is based on the introduction of a “health support” program that requires people to show evidence of immunizations or serious tests when entering public places. Since Wednesday, movies, museums, swimming pools and sports venues have had to ask the owners of their health books, which has led some to criticize the restrictions on the freedom of the vaccinated. The lower house of parliament has approved a bill that is being drafted early Friday morning that will extend the program to cafes and restaurants from next month, and will make vaccinations compulsory for health and social workers from September. The increase in lawsuits in Florida may be due to a number of factors, such as Delta’s highly contagious diversity (two weeks leading up to 17 July, Delta’s divergence with 80% new cases in the US), high temperatures leading to homelessness, and uninvolved people not wearing masks. Restrictions in Australian provinces such as New South Wales are being tightened due to the current increase in cases. About 162 daily incidents were reported nationwide.

New COVID-19 “Possible” this year: French government

Delta variant of the coronavirus that causes COVID-19 is now more of a variant of the virus circulating in France, says French Prime Minister Jean Castex. Health licenses will be required in areas including cinemas, bars, restaurants, hospitals and trains and long buses, a decision that led to protests over the weekend. The plan, which was due to be approved by parliament, was announced last week by President Emmanuel Macron as infection increased and vaccination rates declined. The program also found that people who test positive for coronavirus need to be separated for 10 days. The measures, which include the need for health approval in many different areas since the beginning of August and the accreditation of health workers, will still answer some of the most difficult issues in Europe. Health screening provides evidence that a person has been vaccinated against COVID-19, has recently been diagnosed with a malignant coronavirus or has recently recovered from the virus.

Conclusion:

Health licenses will be required in areas including cinemas, bars, restaurants, hospitals and trains and long buses, a decision that led to protests over the weekend. Otherwise, checks will initially be made to help people apply these measures but penalties will not be made immediately. Government spokesman Attal told a news conference that he could not say exactly when the “start time” would end and a fine would be imposed.
