The world continues to adapt to the new situation in which the Corona virus continues to spread along with the continued easing of closures. However, in China, which recently boasted that it managed to curb the spread of the epidemic in its territory, another report of a new outbreak was received this weekend. The administration announced on Saturday that hundreds of villages in Northeast Jilin Province have been arrested for new outbreaks in the area.

More than 1,000 residential buildings in Shulan province have also been placed under curfew due to similar incidents. The mayor claims that the outbreak there is due to the return of Chinese citizens from Russia. 121 local infection cases were discovered in the province. Recall, recently also in the Chinese city of Wuhan, from which the disease spread to the rest of the world, the plague again began to lift its head after it was suppressed. 

At the same time, in the UK, experts at the Government Council over the weekend warned that the epidemic doubling rate in the kingdom had risen and may be between 0.7 and 1.0, up from last week. 

This means that relief may need to be stopped in the closure. However, data in the UK continues to be encouraging - only 49 were hospitalized Thursday because of Cubid-19 disease caused by the virus.

In Italy, one of the most severely affected countries from the virus that has only recently begun to remove the long closure, authorities announced that in light of the encouraging situation, international tourism for the country could be resumed as early as June 3 and it could also fly out of the country. In Spain, the situation continues to improve, and on Saturday, authorities announced that the number of daily deaths from the virus has been the lowest in months: only 104 more dead.

However, the situation is getting worse in other parts of the world. In both Brazil and Mexico, authorities reported a new daily record for infection: over 13,000 new cases in Brazil, and over 2,437 new cases in Mexico. 

French drug maker Sanofi announced over the weekend that it was reiterating its intention to give priority to the US economy if it had a vaccine against the virus. Last week, the company created heavy rage in France after saying the US would have priority because it was "well invested" in assisting the effort. The company's chairman had to make it clear that the company would allow equal access to all countries when it had a vaccine
