The number of coronavirus cases
worldwide is approaching three million.
The number of coronavirus patients in Wuhan, the Chinese city
at the centre of the pandemic, "has dropped to zero" - the last
patient in a serious condition recovered on Friday, April 24.
In the whole province of Hubei, the number of cases of
contagion is under 50 and there have been no new cases of
infection in the last two weeks.
The number of coronavirus deaths in Spain fell again, while
the figures are increasing quickly in the USA, where there are
now almost one million cases of contagion - 936,293 to be
precise, up to Sunday.
Britain, meanwhile, has decided that people arriving from
abroad must go into quarantine for two weeks.
Those who breach self isolation will be subject to heavy
fines and possibly even criminal proceedings and it has been
decided that the authorities can visit the new arrivals in their
homes to check that they are respecting quarantine.
The figures from Canada are also causing concern.
The number of coronavirus contagions has passed 45,000
(45,354) since January 15, with 1,466 cases in the last 24
hours.
That latest figure is slightly down on Friday's, when 1,778
contagions were registered.
Most of the cases were registered in the provinces of Quebec
(23,267), Ontario (13,995) and Alberta (4,233).
Swabs have been taken from a total of 684,200 people.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said that, according
to government forecasts, the epidemic will peak in Canada at the
end of May and the first wave of infection will finish at the
end of the summer.
In South America, meanwhile, the quarantine measures
currently in force to combat the pandemic in Argentina have been
extended until May 10.
