WASHINGTON: Testing of the city's 11 million people has begun in the Chinese city of Wuhan as the Corona epidemic re-emerges. In Florida, meanwhile, 11,515 Corona patients were hospitalized for the second day in a row today, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

In Florida yesterday, 10,389 corona patients were hospitalized for treatment. Following the shortage of beds in hospitals across the state, additional beds are now being provided in visitor rooms and corridors.

Significantly, Corona's patients appear to be relatively young this time around. President Joe Biden, on the other hand, has surpassed his goal of giving 70 percent of Americans a dose of the corona vaccine.

Corona restrictions, meanwhile, are being re-imposed in most states in the USA. In Louisiana, wearing a mask in public is mandatory for everyone who is vaccinated or not. The number of corona patients admitted to hospital in Florida has increased by 140 percent in the fortnight, Florida Medical Center Chain said.

On the other hand, in the Chinese city of Wuhan, where the epidemic began, testing has begun on the city's 11 million people as the Corona epidemic re-emerges. New cases of corona have been reported in a number of Chinese provinces, sparking renewed panic in China. The city of Wuhan became a corona-free city in June 2020, despite the onset of the corona epidemic.

There are currently seven reported cases of corona in Wuhan. All schools in Wuhan have been closed. Hundreds of people are rushing to get tested as the Delta variant is now circulating in Beijing. A total of 61 new cases of corona have been reported in Jiangsu, Hunan, Hubei, Henan and Yunnan, the National Health Commission said.

In addition to coronated Chinese nationals returning from various countries, these new cases have been reported. Fifteen Chinese provinces have banned people from leaving the city. Meanwhile, the International Monetary Fund has added 6 650 billion to its fund to help economically weaker countries.

Meanwhile, the United Arab Emirates will lift the ban on transit flights from India, Pakistan, Nigeria and other countries from August 5. Tourists who present a negative PCR test 72 hours before departure will be allowed to board the transit flight. A separate lounge will be arranged for such tourists.

Australia's Qantas Group has laid off 2,500 employees of Qantas Airways on compulsory leave for two months. Airlines employ 26,000 employees in Australia. A lockdown has been imposed in Sydney since June 26, where Quantas is headquartered. Which has now been extended to 28 August.
