The coronavirus pandemic it remains uncontrolled. Globally, five million deaths have already been exceeded, with almost 200,000 during the last month, according to data from Johns Hopkins University.
In the last three weeks, infections have uploaded 23% in Europe, with the cumulative incidence of particular concern in the Baltic countries, where the number of vaccinated is relatively low with between 55% and 65% of the population being immunized.
Latvia leads this list with an incidence of 1,640 infections and it has been forced to re-impose restrictions, such as a night curfew. They follow him Estonia and Lithuania, where the incidence exceeds 1,300 infections.
Most of the unimmunized in rich countries are because they don’t want to be vaccinated. On Russia, only a third of the population has the complete guideline and more than half of Russians do not plan to be vaccinated. The country has registered a new record of infections with 40,251, a figure that the Government tries to stop with a week of paid holidays that begins this Sunday.
The G20 has set the target of reaching 70% of the world’s immunized population by mid-2022. Outside Europe, in USA the vaccine has already been authorized Pfizer for children, but in the south of the country there are still people who do not want to be vaccinated. It has a weekly average of 11,000 deaths.
China has once again confined cities. In the Asian country there are already three areas closed due to the advance of an outbreak. Incredible as it may sound, in other parts of the world, as in Tonga, the first case of COVID since the outbreak of the pandemic. A fact that has encouraged the population to flock to get vaccinated.
