The situation in France is not improving since the number of cases of Covid-19 coronavirus is increasing every day. In addition, while other countries are even worse off, official figures now show more than 100,000 cases worldwide.
According to the Huffington Post, the report for this Friday evening, March 6, 2020, reported 613 confirmed cases for 9 deaths . In other words, there are 190 new cases and 2 more deaths than the day before. According to the Director General of Health Jérôme Salomon, 39 people are in a serious situation, 16 more than the day before. In addition, you should know that all metropolitan French regions are affected as well as most overseas regions:Guadeloupe, Guyana and Martinique.
On March 6, we mentioned an explosion of Covid-19 cases in Haut-Rhin. There is now talk of a "reinforced stage 2" in this department. This implies new, much more restrictive measures. For example, the ban on gatherings of more than 50 people in an enclosed environment or even public meetings, cultural gatherings and sporting events (outside closed doors). In addition, the prefect has ordered the immediate closure of schools where sick students and teachers have been reported.
According to the Johns-Hopkins University map, the toll is 101,917 confirmed cases for approximately 3,500 deaths . More than 57,000 people have been healed. The slowdown trend in China is confirmed, but other countries are experiencing a difficult situation. This is the case of Iran (4,747 cases / 124 deaths) and Italy (4,636 / 197). However, the third major focus of Covid-19, namely South Korea, seems to be gradually controlling the problem (6,593 / 42 deaths).
It is possible to draw up a list of other countries whose situation is gradually deteriorating . These include Germany (670 cases / 0 deaths), Spain (400 / 5), the United States (317 / 12) or Switzerland (214 / 1). We should also mention the fact that the Covid-19 coronavirus is increasingly present in Latin America and Africa . New cases have been reported in countries such as Costa Rica, Chile, Peru, Colombia and Argentina, as well as Cameroon, Togo and Senegal.
Recall in passing that the Covid-19 has operated a mutation. The coronavirus now comes in two types :L and S. the S strain is the oldest and certainly comes from the first focus of infection, i.e. Wuhan in China. As for the L strain, this is more aggressive and developed more rapidly in competition with its counterpart. According to the researchers, this L strain, more adapted to humans, ispresent in 70% of cases against 30% for the S strain.
