A new coronavirus infection (Corona 19) is showing signs of re-proliferation around the world. The driving force of the spread is the’mutant virus’.

Europe, which had secured the vaccine early, is suffering from the spread of the mutant virus. In Germany, 88% of the new cases were infected with the mutant virus. According to the Robert Koch Institute in Germany, there were 24,300 new cases in Germany on the 31st of last month local time.

France is also accelerating the spread of the mutant virus from the UK. France, which is evaluated as having entered the’third epidemic’, has recently reached about 30,000 to 40,000 people per day. The problem is that about 80% of new infections are caused by mutant viruses from the UK.

On the 31st of last month, French President Macron said, “The corona infection rate is accelerating due to the mutant virus.” This is the third time it has been made, which means that he is taking the situation seriously.

The mutant virus is also spreading in neighboring Japan. As a result of the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, the number of confirmed mutant viruses as of the 30th of last month was 1,200, an increase of 408 in a week. In addition to the rapid infection rate, infections have occurred in Tokyo, Osaka, Hokkaido, and other parts of the country.

On the 1st, Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga said, “We will apply’critical measures such as prevention of spreading’ in Osaka Prefecture, Hyogo Prefecture, and Miyagi Prefecture for a month.” Priority measures, such as prevention of widespread, are steps before the issuance of an emergency situation, and the local government may shorten the restaurant business hours or impose a fine on the violating business owner.

Corona is also re-spreading in South America. Latin American countries such as Brazil, Uruguay, Paraguay and Chile have recorded the highest number of confirmed cases in recent days. Last week, the number of confirmed daily cases in Brazil averaged around 74,000 and the death toll was around 3,100.

Chile has already been vaccinated quickly, with more than one-third of the population being vaccinated, but the re-proliferation trend is inconvenient, with more than 7,000 new confirmed cases a day coming out recently.

The P1 mutant virus, which was identified in the Amazon region, has also spread. On the 27th of last month, the Institute of Tropical Medicine at the University of Sao Paulo surveyed 73 confirmed corona19 patients, and 47 (64%) were infected with the P1 mutant virus.

As the corona spreads, South American countries are closing their borders. Chile blocked its borders for a month starting on the 5th and imposed a blockade in most cities across the country. Bolivia also closes its land border with Brazil for a week starting on the 2nd. Argentina also stopped operating aircraft from Brazil on the 26th.
