In Spain, human testing of a COVID-19 vaccine has begun

France, Spain and the Czech Republic report an alarming increase in the number of diseases, Moldova 1 reports.

France has announced more than 6,000 new cases of infection in the last 24 hours. Hospitals in Bordeaux and Marseille are "close to saturation", so authorities have imposed new restrictions to limit the increase in cases.

In Spain, testing of a COVID-19 vaccine, developed by a Belgian company, has begun in humans. 190 volunteers participate in the research.

"At this stage, we will analyze the biological parameters, regardless of the appearance of antibodies, and we will also analyze the types of antibodies," said Alberto Borobia, a researcher.

Although it is facing an increase in the number of cases of infection, the Czech Republic is relaxing its quarantine rules.

"Those who have been in contact with an infected person but have no symptoms will no longer have to be automatically quarantined if both people have worn a mask. People who have been infected in the previous 90 days should not be quarantined either," said Adam Vojtech, the Czech Minister of Health.

Schools opened on Monday in almost all of Italy. More than five million children and adolescents returned to the banks after six months. The mask is mandatory in all common areas.

At the same time, a Chinese virologist who fled to the United States for safety reasons claims that he has scientific evidence to prove that the new Coronavirus was produced in a laboratory in Wuhan and that he will make it public. Worldwide, however, there are about 30 million confirmed cases, and more than one million people have died.
