Covid-19 continues to wreak havoc in Latin America, a continent hard hit by the epidemic. It killed more than 70,000 people in Brazil.

The coronavirus epidemic continues. Experts from the World Health Organization are expected this Saturday in Beijing on a reconnaissance mission before the start of the investigation that the WHO wants to carry out on the origin of the virus that appeared in China at the end of 2019. In Brazil, the virus has killed more than 70,000 people. The express train spoke of the pandemic.

WHO mission

The mission by two WHO experts, an epidemiologist and an animal health expert, comes as the agency on Friday issued a call for vigilance in the face of the recent explosion of infections around the world. Announcing on Friday that WHO experts were heading to China, the organization’s spokeswoman, Margaret Harris, said they would hold talks with Chinese officials and determine the sites a future fact-finding mission should visit.

“One of the biggest questions is whether the virus was transmitted to humans by an animal and which animal,” said Margaret Harris. WHO Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus stressed on Friday that pollution around the world “has more than doubled in the last six weeks.” Establishing this worrying situation, he insisted on the need to intervene very quickly when an outbreak of the disease occurs.

The United States on Friday welcomed the announcement of a WHO investigation into China. “We view this scientific investigation as a necessary step toward a full understanding and transparency of how this virus is spreading around the world,” said US Ambassador to the United Nations in Geneva Andrew Bremberg.

America was hit hard

The United States is the country most affected by the virus. The outbreak has caused 133,969 deaths, including 774 in the past 24 hours, according to data released Friday by Johns Hopkins University. And in 24 hours, 63,643 contaminations were registered. Experts fear that the death curve will not quickly follow the trajectory of new infections.

More than 70,000 deaths in Brazil

Covid-19 also continues to wreak havoc in Latin America, where it has hit some of its leaders. In Bolivia, interim president Janine Añez, a candidate for the presidential elections in September, announced Thursday that she was contaminated. On Friday, the president of the Bolivian Congress, Eva Copa, who occupies the second place in the protocol order of succession to the head of state, said that she too.

In Venezuela, where President Nicolás Maduro announced on Friday the extension of the month-long state of emergency imposed to combat the virus, Oil Minister Tareck El Aissami announced his contamination. Another close aide to Maduro, Diosdado Cabello, Chavista’s number two powerhouse, did the same on Thursday. In Brazil, it is Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro who announced on Tuesday that he was infected.

Brazil is the Latin American country most affected by the virus and the second in the world. It crossed the 70,000 death mark on Friday after recording an additional 1,214 deaths in the previous 24 hours. The contamination amounted to more than 1.8 million cases. Bogotá, the main epicenter of the pandemic in Colombia, has raised its alert level for the spread of the virus and will reinforce population confinement. As of this Monday, the capital of Bolivia “is between an orange alert and a system of intensive care units on a red alert,” announced the mayor of Bogotá, Claudia López. The British recorded 133,973 cases of infection, including 4,714 deaths.

resurgence of the epidemic

In countries where the pandemic seemed to be under control, epidemics were reported. In Australia, five million Melbourne residents were locked down for six weeks. Hong Kong announced the closure of all its schools from Monday due to an “exponential increase” in pollution.
