As of Monday, April 27, the number of people infected with the coronavirus had already reached three million, with more than 200,000 dead.

It only took 12 days for the infections to increase to more than a million more due to the severity of the epidemic as on April 15 they numbered two million.

The spread of the epidemic is on the rise as more and more people in different countries will follow the rules set out in the special cases relating to non-travel and public activities.

Of the more than 3 million people who have been infected with the epidemic, about 207,000 have already died, most of them in countries such as the United States, Italy and Spain  that have been affected by the epidemic.

According to figures released by Johns Hopikns University, more than 880,000 people have recovered from the virus. So far, however, despite the increase in the number of infected people, in some countries that had been hit by this European-dominated epidemic, confidence has returned after the number of infected and dying per day is declining and some have begun to look at ways to alleviate the measures that had been taken during the extraordinary period.

Initially, Spain took the lead in this regard where children are now allowed to play outside their home and it is expected that more decisions will be made on this 2nd day.

In Italy, from May 4, some of these activities will be facilitated and some activities will be resumed where even families will be allowed to visit.
