Outbreaks appear to be exacerbated in Russia, China, and Europe

- Pfizer corona vaccine approved for children between the ages of five and eleven in the US

- 40,000 new cases, 1189 deaths despite holidays in Russia

MOSCOW: Corona cases and deaths continue to rise in Russia five days after the holiday was declared, while the number of new corona cases rose in Europe for the fifth day in a row. Similarly, hundreds of new cases of corona were reported in China. Thus, once again the Corona epidemic is raging around.

Russia set a record for the fifth consecutive day with the highest number of cases per day. Today, 20,000 new cases of corona were reported and 114 deaths were reported. Today is the fifth day that Russia has declared a holiday to control the Corona, but the number of Corona cases has increased rather than decreased. Holidays in the three Russian provinces of Novgorod, Tomsk and Chelyabinsk have been extended for one more week. Tomsk Governor Sergei Zavachkin said a week's work-free period was not enough to break the chain of corona infections. In addition, the governors of the other three provinces are also considering extending the vacation period.

China, on the other hand, reported more than 100 new cases of corona on Wednesday. Nine new cases were reported in Beijing alone. Of the new cases, four were in Heilongjiang on the Russian border, 12 in Hebei, 13 in Gansu, four in Beijing, six in Inner Mongolia, four each in Chongqing-Qinghai and two each in Jiangxi, Yunnan and Ningchia, and one in Sichuan.

According to the National Health Commission of China, a total of 4.5 cases of corona have been reported in China and nine people have died. While one thousand people are getting treatment in which the condition of 6 people is serious. Although 4% of people in China have been vaccinated, new cases of corona erupt from time to time.

Jonathan Van Tam, deputy chief medical officer in England, meanwhile, said many believed the Corona epidemic was over but new cases and rising death rates indicated a severe winter epidemic. Now new cases of corona are being reported in the elderly. According to the British government, 4.5 new cases of corona were reported on Tuesday and eight deaths were reported. Most people have been vaccinated against corona and are now receiving a booster dose of corona vaccine over the age of 50. Europe, on the other hand, saw an increase in corona cases for the fifth day in a row.

The World Health Organization (WHO) said in its weekly report that 3 million new cases of corona were reported in Europe last week, a 15 per cent increase over the previous week. The number of new corona cases in the Middle East has dropped by 12 percent and in Southeast Asia and Africa by nine percent. New cases of corona are on the rise in Europe, Britain, Russia, Turkey and Romania. Leading British health experts have advised re-enforcing the rules on wearing masks and maintaining social distance, but the government has insisted that the health system would reach out if new cases were reported. Some scientists have expressed concern that corona cases are likely to increase in the winter as vaccine protection across Europe is declining.

The World Health Organization says one million booster doses have been given daily in the past week. Which is three times the dose allotted to poor countries. The World Health Organization has slammed rich countries for giving booster doses. While the Delta variant has spread around the world, its spread in South America has been relatively slow. Other variants are also prevalent in this area, including the Mu variant.

U.S. health officials have given final approval to Pfizer's corona vaccine for children between the ages of five and eleven. The vaccine had previously been approved by the Food and Drug Administration, but now the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will formally recommend who gets the FDA-approved vaccine. Now the way is open for Pfizer to vaccinate 3 million children in this age group.

President Joe Biden called the CDC's decision a turning point. "This is a big step in our fight to defeat the virus," Bide said.

According to government figures, more than 300 children between the ages of five and 11 in the US are receiving treatment for corona infection in hospitals, and a third of them need ICU treatment. The CDC said four deaths were reported in this age group due to corona infection.
