France: “risky situation”
“We are in a risky situation” in the face of Covid-19, warned the French Minister of Health Olivier Véran, fearing contamination from the youngest to the elderly and therefore more fragile.
On Saturday, 3,602 new positive diagnoses were recorded, according to health authorities. Thursday and Friday 4,771 and 4,586 new cases had been recorded.
The epidemic “has never stopped”, recalled Mr. Véran. “It was only checked during the confinement and then the progressive deconfinement”. “The risk, he insisted, is that, after gently removing the lid of the pot, the water will boil again.”
Deadly stampede in Peru
A stampede in a nightclub in Lima in Peru caused the death of more than a dozen people on Saturday evening who tried to flee the police, who came to enforce the curfew imposed due to the Covid-19 epidemic, have the authorities announced on Sunday.
Peru is the third Latin American country most affected by the new coronavirus after Brazil and Mexico, with 27,453 dead and 585,000 cases of contamination for a population of 33 million inhabitants.
Traffic jams at the Austrian border
The introduction by Vienna of strict health controls at the Slovenian border on Saturday due to the coronavirus caused immense traffic jams still underway on Sunday, with holidaymakers waiting in some places until ten at night, according to the police.
Since Saturday, Austria has stopped each car entering its territory from Slovenia to record the personal data of each passenger, even in transit, in order to be able to trace contamination with the new coronavirus. According to Vienna, a third of holidaymakers have tested positive for a month on their return from Croatia, a destination in southern Slovenia.
