Comprehensive news: The latest data from the official website of the World Health Organization shows that as of 17:44 on the 22nd Central European Time, there are a total of 178503429 confirmed cases of new crowns worldwide and a total of 3872457 deaths. In addition, according to the latest statistics from Johns Hopkins University in the United States, as of 8:22 on the 23rd, Beijing time, there were a total of 179,089,448 confirmed cases of new crowns worldwide, and a total of 3,880,133 deaths.
Americas: The US epidemic may face a significant rebound
According to the latest data released by Johns Hopkins University, a total of 33,564,175 cases have been confirmed in the United States, and a total of 602,447 cases have died.
According to US media reports, American infectious disease expert Anthony Fauci said on the 22nd that the “delta” mutant strain first discovered in India currently accounts for about 20% of all new cases in the United States, compared with 10% two weeks ago.
According to Fauci, the “Delta” strain appears to “follow the same pattern” as the “Alpha” strain first discovered in the United Kingdom, with the number of cases in the United States doubling approximately every two weeks. Studies have shown that the infectivity of the “Delta” strain is about 60% higher than that of the “Alpha” strain. Fauci believes that vaccines are an important tool to defeat mutant strains, so he urged Americans to be fully vaccinated.
However, the overall rate of vaccination in the United States is gradually slowing down. On the 22nd, a White House official said frankly that by July 4th, 70% of the American population aged 27 and over will receive at least one dose of the vaccine, but those aged 18 to 26 are not expected to achieve the same goal on this date.
Bloomberg pointed out that several under-vaccinated states are showing signs of a rebound from the new crown epidemic, and more and more young people are visiting hospitals, especially in Missouri and Utah. These data are sending signals that the US epidemic has clearly rebounded.
Europe: German Chancellor Merkel vaccinates two vaccines from different manufacturers
On the 22nd, a German government spokesperson stated that German Chancellor Merkel received the first dose of AstraZeneca’s new crown vaccine in April this year, and the second dose of Modena vaccine.
Some experts believe that changing the second shot vaccine to products from a different company can enhance immunity. There are currently many related studies in progress. Canada, facing a shortage of supplies, has suggested that Modena and Pfizer vaccines can be vaccinated interchangeably.
The vaccination schedule in Germany has accelerated significantly in recent weeks. As of the 22nd, about 51.2% of the population in Germany has received the first dose of vaccine.
After meeting with European Commission President Von der Lein on the 22nd, Merkel said that out of concerns about the spread of the “Delta” strain, she believes that it is not a good idea to “full the stadium” in the European Championships, so she urged UEFA. Make a responsible decision immediately.
The European Championship group stage is currently being held in many places in Europe at the same time. All stadiums allow a certain percentage of fans to enter the stadium to watch the game. The Budapest Division allows 61,000 fans to “full admission.” After the schedule reaches the semi-finals and finals, London Wembley Stadium will allow fans of 75% of the stadium size (over 60,000) to enter the stadium to watch the game. The current size is limited to 40,000.
Merkel emphasized that the “Delta” strain is spreading rapidly in the UK, and all travelers entering Germany from the UK must be quarantined for 14 days. She supports the British government in taking necessary measures to control the epidemic, and at the same time expresses regret that EU member states have not yet reached a unified code of action for cross-border travel during the epidemic.

Although the members of the delegation had been vaccinated before arriving in Japan, one of them still tested positive on entry.

They took a special bus at around 1 am on the 20th to go to Izumisano, Osaka Prefecture for pre-match training. However, the local government of Izumisano determined that members of the delegation had had close contact with people infected with the new crown and asked them to isolate them until July 3.

The Ministry of Labor of Cambodia stated on the 22nd that the 513 garment factories located in Phnom Penh, Dakin Ou and Sihanoukville (West Port) were temporarily closed due to the large-scale government lockdown. Therefore, the government decided to issue a one-time aid of 160,000 Khb (approximately US$40) to each of the 275,000 affected workers.

Sabine Nsanzimana, director of the Rwanda Biomedical Center, pointed out that the people of the country have begun to slack in compliance with epidemic prevention measures, which has led to a surge in the number of new crown patients in the past 12 days. In the past week or so, the number of new crown patients hospitalized has also increased significantly.
According to data released by the Ministry of Health of Rwanda on the 21st, there were 622 new confirmed cases in the country in a single day, and the total number of confirmed cases reached 31,435. (Finish)
