US chief epidemiologist Anthony Fauchi has warned against rushing to ease closure measures while several countries have begun easing restrictions to contain the emerging corona virus.
Despite President Donald Trump‘s clear desire to restart the economy, Fauchi warned that “the repercussions could be very serious” in the event that a state, city or region decides to reopen its economic facilities before the necessary conditions exist, especially the pandemic recedes over a 14-day period.
“Even a careful exit from the state of closure that paralyzes the economy could cause a second wave of Covid 19 virus,” Fauchi said, according to Agence France-Presse.
Fauchi acknowledged in a remote session with a Senate committee that the number of deaths recorded in the United States may be higher than the official outcome of 81,805 deaths, the highest in the world.
The White House was not immune to Corona virus infection, and the US presidency announced that Vice President Mike Pence, whose spokeswoman was infected with Covid 19, decided to “keep a distance” between him and Trump “for a few days.”
This came after the World Health Organization called for total vigilance and warning of a second wave after the number of deaths in the world exceeded 290 thousand and injuries more than 4.2 million, while Russia began a cautious reduction of isolation measures with the increase of its injuries to more than 232 thousand confirmed injuries to become the second country in terms of Injuries after the United States.

France and Spain eased restrictions imposed on their residents yesterday, as thousands of French schools reopened their doors yesterday with an unprecedented health protocol in a move welcomed by the government, but it raises fears of the Covid 19 epidemic that is still causing the infection.
The daily death toll of Covid 19 in France resumed yesterday evening, with 348 cases recorded in the past 24 hours, while the number of injured in intensive care units continues to decrease, according to the French Public Health Directorate.
The Directorate announced that the total death toll of Covid 19 in France was at least 26,991 cases.
And the day after it started, a cautious lifting of isolation measures, Spain imposed strict restrictions on the arrivals to its territory and a health quarantine on them in order to avoid the entry of new infected persons with the emerging corona virus, according to the government announced.
Spain recorded 22,830 confirmed cases of new Corona, or 426 additional cases, in 24 hours.
