Now more than 2.6 billion humans are asked not to go outside due to the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic. While the situation in India is of growing concern, the rise in deaths continues in Italy and Spain.
On the evening of March 24, 2020, our country had 22,633 confirmed cases for 1,100 deaths . France occupies 7th place in the ranking of the countries most affected by the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic. You should also know that 2,516 patients are currently in intensive care, 434 more than the day before.
For the Director General of Health Jérôme Salomon, the thousand deaths on French territory represents only a "small share of mortality" . The person concerned indicated that the two main places of death were the hospitals and nursing homes. However, deaths occurring in nursing homes are not counted, as are deaths at home. In addition, the number of tests has increased to 9,000 per day with the objective of reaching 10,000 by the end of the week and double the next week.
Today Italy has 69,176 cases and 6,820 deaths , two-thirds of which in Lombardy. The carnage also continues in Spain, whose balance sheet reports 42,058 cases for 2,991 deaths . These two countries are the most affected in Europe and alone account for more than half of the cases recorded on the whole continent. In addition, the two countries have already decided to extend their confinement period. In addition, Italy took the decision this weekend to stop all non-essential production activities.
Elsewhere in Europe include Germany (32,991 cases / 159 deaths), Switzerland (9,877 / 122), the United Kingdom (8,164 / 422) and the Netherlands (5,585 / 276).
The second most populous country in the world is the last to impose confinement to its population for at least 21 days. Relatively spared until recently, India now has 562 cases for 11 deaths . If this assessment seems low compared to the countries most affected, the government still wanted to take this type of measure. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has indicated that there is no escaping the coronavirus.
“If these 21 days are not respected, the country and your family will go back 21 years “, said the chosen one.
The United States is experiencing a very sharp acceleration in the number of cases and could overtake Europe in a few days. Indeed, the country now has 55,222 cases for more than 700 deaths . The epicenter of the epidemic in the United States is in New York, concentrating the majority of deaths. However, in this city, the number of cases is doubling every day. Donald Trump has warned that too long a lockdown could "destroy" the country economically. Globally, the toll shows more than 423,000 cases for nearly 19,000 deaths, including 2,000 deaths in the last 24 hours .
