In the United States, the situation is out of control, 47 thousand infected in one day.

New infections appear mainly in the southwest states of Arizona and Texas and California. There has also been an increase in infections in Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina.

The spread of infections in the United States was accompanied by warnings by leading American expert on infectious diseases, Dr. Anthony Fauci, who said at a briefing session in the Senate that the spread rate of infection can reach 100,000 new cases a day unless measures are taken.

"We don't have the problem under control at the moment, " said Dr. Faucie. He warned that the reaction with measures focused solely on states currently registering the problem's deterioration, “puts the whole country at risk”.

More than 127,000 Americans have died from COVID-19, over 2 million and 636 thousand have resulted in positive results and millions have lost their jobs. The economy contracted sharply in the first quarter and is expected to mark even deeper declines for the April-June quarter.

Dr. Fauce was witnessing in Congress while the governors of New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut, three states in the northeastern part of the country that faced pandemics at the beginning of the U.S. spread, added the states of California, Georgia, Aidahos, Ayvas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Nevada, and Tennessee on the list of countries whose residents will be required to stay in quarantine for two weeks.

The list initially included eight states of Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, Texas, and Utah in the quarantine set by New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut.

The increase in coronary cases has forced the governors of Florida, Texas, and California to slow reopening plans, ordering bars and restaurants to close and force masking.

The US leads the world with the highest number of infections. As a result, Americans are not included in the list of countries that will be allowed to visit the European Union.

European Union clears some restrictions

The EU lifted travel restrictions Tuesday from Algeria, Australia, Canada, Georgia, Japan, Montenegro, Morocco, New Zealand, Rwanda, Serbia, South Korea, Thailand, Tunisia and Uruguay.

But travelers from countries where the epidemic has spread, including the United States, Brazil, and India, are not allowed right now.

Visitors from China will be allowed to enter EU countries provided China lifts restrictions on Europeans.

It is expected that the list will change every two weeks with added names, or are excluded according to the rate of corruption, but it is not expected that restrictions imposed by the EU on the United States will soon be lifted.

The criteria declared by the European Union dictate that the number of new cases of coronarys in a specific state be comparable either below the average that the EU is registering and that overall figures are being stabilised or falling in order to allow visitors.

Worldwide, nearly 10.5 million people have proved positive with coronarys since the virus was first detected in China last year and began spreading worldwide. Currently on a global scale are more than 5122,000 deaths from COVID-19. / VOA
