Belgium has decided to ban the entry of travelers from the United Kingdom to try to stop the entry into the country of the delta variant, formerly known as the Indian strain. This has caused a gradual increase in infections in British territory, which had to stop the de-escalation and postpone the lifting of measures initially planned for June 21 for up to four weeks. In India, the health authorities have registered 58,419 infections this Sunday, the lowest figure in three months. In Spain, more than 42,000 people under the age of 60 who were vaccinated with the first dose of AstraZeneca in the Valencian Community have chosen to complete their regimen with Pfizer, following Health recommendations, which is equivalent to 25% of all people cited by the Generalitat. The remaining 75%, who are more than 127,000 people, have preferred to complete the vaccination with AstraZeneca. The President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, trusted yesterday that the authorizations of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) of vaccines for minors will arrive in time to be able to vaccinate ESO and Baccalaureate students two weeks before the course begins.
