French Prime Minister house 22, said that Prime Minister Jean Caste that night COVID-19 nucleic acid test positive, is now in isolation. Belgian Prime Minister Alexander de KrO and other officials who met with him earlier in the day became close contacts. The prime minister's office said that kastae "immediately accepted" the nucleic acid test after learning that one of his daughters had a positive nucleic acid test result. He will adjust his schedule to continue his work during the next 10 days of isolation. The prime minister's office did not say whether kastai had symptoms of infection.
France
Recently, the epidemic situation has rebounded, and there are 1409 severe cases
The Associated Press reported that kastae visited Brussels, the capital of Belgium, on the morning of the 22nd to meet with de KrO. Officials attending the meeting included the ministers of foreign affairs, defence, justice and the interior of Belgium. Agence France Presse reported that French Interior Minister Gerard dalmanin, European Affairs Minister Clement Boehner and other senior officials accompanied castai.
The Belgian prime minister's office said: "in view of the fact that Prime Minister Dykro met with the Prime Minister of France, he has immediately stopped activities." Dykro and 4 ministers are scheduled to accept COVID-19 test on the 24 day and isolate themselves during the waiting period.
Caste had never been infected with COVID-19 before, and was vaccinated with two new crown vaccines this spring. French President Emmanuel macron and his wife recovered from the new crown infection last year.
The recent epidemic situation in France has rebounded seriously. As of the 22nd, there were about 18500 newly diagnosed cases in the seven days, a new high since August 27 this year. On August 22, 300 new hospitalizations were added, a new high since August 23; 97 new deaths, the highest since September 21. There are 1409 severe cases, more than 1400 cases for the first time since September 30.
At present, about 75% of the French have completed the whole process of vaccination. Macron calls on the people to receive booster shots as soon as possible. However, he believes that France has always required people to enter public places with vaccination certificates or recent new crown test negative certificates, so there is no need to implement the "closure" measures for the time being.
U.S.A
Issued the highest level travel warning to Germany and Denmark
The United States Centers for Disease Control and prevention and the United States Department of state increased the warning level of COVID-19 and Denmark in four to the highest level on the 22 day, suggesting that the public should avoid going to these two European countries.
According to Agence France-Presse, the United States raised the warning level of the two countries to the highest level, which means that the risk of local COVID-19 transmission is "very high". The standard of level IV travel warning is that there have been more than 500 newly confirmed cases per 100000 population in the past 28 days.
The CDC recommends that people avoid going to destinations with a travel warning level of level 4. If they have to go, they should complete the whole process of vaccination of the new crown vaccine.
At present, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and prevention lists about 75 destinations in the world as travel warning level 4, including Austria, the United Kingdom, Belgium, Greece, Norway, Switzerland, Romania, Ireland, the Czech Republic and many other European countries.
Thanks to the slow growth of new crown vaccine in some countries, the spread of the "delta" strain of the highly contagious new crown mutation virus, and the decrease of winter temperature and the increase of indoor activities, Europe has recently become the epicenter of the global COVID-19.
According to the data of Robert Koch Institute, a German disease control agency, on the 23rd, the 7-day infection rate in Germany reached a new high, with 399.8 new confirmed cases per 100000 people; Germany confirmed 45326 new cases and 309 new deaths on the 22nd, with a cumulative diagnosis of more than 5.43 million cases and a cumulative death of more than 99000 people.
The epidemic situation in Denmark also rebounded recently. On the 12th, 4593 new cases were reported, setting a new record; On the 22nd, 3810 new confirmed cases were reported, with a total of more than 450000 confirmed cases.
Hans Klug, director of the European Regional Office of WHO, 4, warned that 500 thousand people in Europe and some neighboring countries may die of COVID-19 infection this winter.
Thailand
Affected by the epidemic, the unemployment rate reached the highest in 14 years
Thailand's State Economic and Social Development Commission announced on the 22 day that Thailand's unemployment rate rose to 2.25% in the three quarter and 871 thousand in unemployment, the highest since last year's outbreak in COVID-19. According to Thailand's public opinion newspaper and Singapore's Lianhe Zaobao, this is the highest unemployment rate in Thailand since the U.S. subprime mortgage crisis in 2007.
The Thai government defines working less than one hour a week as unemployment, and the unemployment data does not include people in the informal industry, so the official unemployment rate has been low. In the second quarter of this year, the unemployment rate was 1.89%, and 732000 people were unemployed.
Among the unemployed in the third quarter, the unemployment rate of the population with higher education was the highest, up to 3.63%; Followed by vocational school diploma holders, up to 3.16%.
Committee secretary danucha picayanan believed that the strict epidemic prevention measures implemented by the government in the third quarter had a serious impact on employment, resulting in the highest unemployment rate since the outbreak of the epidemic. According to the data released by the Committee on the 15th, Thailand's GDP fell by 0.3% year-on-year in the third quarter.
Danuca said that if the epidemic does not rebound, "the employment rate is likely to rise in the fourth quarter". Since November 1, Thailand has granted quarantine free entry to tourists from more than 60 low-risk countries and regions who have completed the new crown vaccination, which is expected to boost the tourism industry as a pillar of the economy.
Thailand's health department announced on the 23rd that there were 5126 newly confirmed cases, 53 dead cases and 7748 cured cases in Thailand; More than 2 million cases were diagnosed and more than 20000 cases died, 833000 people are receiving treatment.
