The numbers continue to grow and scientists warn of a possible rebound or re-emergence of the worldwide Covid 19 pandemic. From China, a committee of experts called for strict epidemiological control to avoid the spread of the global health crisis.

The new coronavirus already reaches 209 nations; and it wreaks havoc on the world economy as a result of the paralysis of large industries, the service sector and tourism, due to social isolation.

The United States and Europe currently concentrate the largest number of cases. 85 states keep their borders closed and in the last 24 hours; Iran, Turkey, Belgium and Russia registered more than 1,000 new positives. Internationally, more than 1.5 million infected people are currently being quantified.

Of that accumulated, just over 1 106 000 cases are active, since around 89 thousand deaths are registered. In contrast, more than 340,000 people have recovered. By country, the focus of transmission is concentrated in the United States, with more than 435,000 diagnosed cases. Meanwhile, criticism of the poor management of the White House in handling the crisis rains, which already leaves more than 14,000 dead. Spain follows, with more than 152,000 cases. Deaths exceed 15,000 deaths and over 52,000 patients have recovered.

Italy, for its part, exceeded 139,000 positives, regretting the loss of 17,000 lives. Those recovered exceed 27,000.Behind them is Germany, which has 113,000 cases, but has the highest number of medical discharges in Europe, exceeding 46,000. Then there is France, which exceeded 10,800 dead among 83,000 sick.

In America, Canada distances itself from the United States, although it registers more than 19 thousand infected and 435 deaths. The other center of interest is in the south of the continent, where Brazil stands out with more than 16,000 positives and more than 800 deaths, a situation that gets out of control before the blind eyes of President Jair Bolsonaro, wants to return to normality in full transmission phase. With just over 5,000 cases, Chile follows; and Ecuador exceeds 4,400 positives and 200 deaths; a figure subject to error due to the lack of sanitary control in that country.

By last; Mexico, the Dominican Republic, Panama, Colombia and Peru exceeded 2,000 infected.
