While many people in Brazil don't believe in the dangers of the Coronavirus, when it comes to our health, Europe is already recording a frightening number of people who have lost their lives, but will things get worse?
The study carried out by Johns Hopkins said this Sunday, April 19, that Europe has already passed the mark of 100 thousand deaths from Covid-19, a disease caused by the new coronavirus.
According to the research, in total, 100,881 people lost their lives in the pandemic on European soil.
Becoming one of the main centers of the pandemic, Europe has also surpassed the 1 million cases mark: there are 1,083,583 infections, according to the university's latest update, at around 11:20 am this Sunday.
Coronavirus – death across Europe
Another country that has suffered horribly from the coronavirus is Italy, which has the highest number of deaths, with a total of 23,227. Spain has (20,453), France (19,349), the United Kingdom (16,095) and Belgium (5,683).
French Prime Minister Édouard Philippe said in an official statement that the situation in the country is beginning to improve, albeit "slowly." However, he warned that the crisis is far from over. The number of hospitalized people has been falling for days, but there have been new admissions in the country. The country plans to begin relaxing some lockdown measures starting May 11th.
Other European countries have been exploring strategies to lift quarantine measures. In Denmark, for example, schools from nursery to elementary school reopened this week.
However, we have Spain, a dire situation. The government intends to request a new extension of the quarantine, until May 9th.
According to the federal government's proposal, children up to 12 years old will be able to leave home, punctually, starting April 27th.
To clarify the population, Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez announced that the relaxation of measures will be done gradually, by zones, based on the level of contagion.
