Confirmed Global coronavirus cases pass 21 Million
Around the world, a new number as Coronavirus infections continue to rise, we will look at the epidemic in Europe, Asia, South America and Latin America first, although here our medical editor fergus walsh confirmed global figures as he said there are now more than 21 million confirmed cases of Coronavirus around The world and this number rises more than a quarter of a million new cases every day The death toll in the world has now exceeded three quarters of a million in the past 24 hours, the World Health Organization has recorded nearly six thousand deaths linked to covid19, a grim statistic, yet it is less than a quarter of the world's daily deaths from cancer around the world, nearly 10 million people a year Dies from cancer A new number of coveted infections in the four worst affected countries - Brazil, Mexico and India.
Trending up and the death toll is also rising more than 170,000 in the United States and more than 50,000 in India Well, let's focus on Europe for a moment that tries to curb an increase in the virus infections The latest statistics are very bleak Virus infections rise in France, United Kingdom Italy and Germany are nonetheless rising fastest in Spain, so let's get closer to look at Spain there Four other Spanish regions have introduced stricter restrictions. Nightclubs have been closed and restaurants and bars must be closed by 1 a.m. Smoking in the open air in public places is prohibited if social distancing cannot be maintained beside Lebanon, where cases of HIV infection have increased after that.
Explosion in a port, more than 400 new cases were recorded on Sunday, and six deaths in the past a few hours, to the health of the Chargé d'Affairs to Lebanon. The minister called for a period of two weeks for complete closure. Hamad Hassan told Radio Lebanon Today we announce a general state of alert and we need a courageous decision to close the country which he called a matter of life Or the death and warning of both the private and the public, hospitals may be approaching running out of space, the crisis exacerbated by the fourth explosion of (August) half of it is believed to be health care facilities in Beirut. It no longer works and here is another reminder that Secret 19 hits most weak The UN tells us four Palestinian refugees from covet 19 died in the camps over the weekend It's a warning that things might get out of control there.
Okay, let's move on to Asia now and a reminder of those two horrific numbers out of place India Official estimate of the total Deaths have now exceeded 50 000 cases doubling every 21 days They now have more than 2.6 million of them it's the third highest in the world The testing has been intensified up to these portable devices Test vans are being used to get into crowded neighborhoods in Delhi. We are told more than half a million invisible people are being tested every day across India here Divya Arya in Dublin The Prime Minister addressed citizens in his Independence Day speech over the weekend and told them there are three vaccines being developed locally for the virus. And also that its health care facilities have been recovering, including the local production of children PPE. The government also indicates that India has one of the least desirable countries. The global death rate is less than 2 percent but in poorer countries like Bihar and Uttar Pradesh where and where the numbers persist, soaring public healthcare still leaves much to be desired. Private health facilities for greed patients continue to be prohibitively expensive for many now.
The economy has been easing restrictions in an attempt to start employment and demand but many countries have been forced to reintroduce partial closures due to increasing numbers leading to a lot of confusion even in the capital Delhi and adjacent areas Compliance with wearing masks is low I found when I was Visiting low-income localities where social distancing is almost impossible, as the media has reported continuously. Hospitals refusing admission. Unsuspecting patients in some cases lead to floors. Well from India to South Korea that deals with the largest daily. A jump in coronavirus cases in months.
And the signs tell people not to enter more than 3,400 member churches in quarantine. Local media tell us that the Church's venerable leader has tested positive for Jung Hwang Hoon. The virus is a fierce critic of President Moon Jae-in. The priest attended a rally at the end of the week defying the ban in large gatherings, well let's go to Australia, which witnessed the bloodiest Day of the Pandemic Victoria recorded 25 deaths in 24 hours, while 282 cases were confirmed.
Of those cases linked to elderly care, a large chunk of fatalities was in fact outbreaks, and from the cases in Victoria were linked to ed aged care facilities that already exist are now seen as a crisis at home Victoria crisis in Melbourne specifically.
