      Czechs are facing a series of new laws and restrictions that came into effect on October 14: bars, an important part of people's daily life, will have to close at 8:00 p.m. in this country, the world's favorite beer drinker; so will restaurants, and no more than four guests sit at the same table; theaters, cinemas, sports clubs and fitness centers have been ordered to close Shopping malls are not allowed to provide Wi Fi to prevent young people from gathering there; shop customers are only allowed to travel together for up to two people; most schools are closed and transferred to distance learning, and children aged 12 to 15 will take turns in classes

Many people were surprised that the dazzling new regulations promulgated on November 12 will be implemented until November 3, because the government promised not to resume comprehensive restrictions.

Britain is another country that has said it will not adopt a comprehensive blockade policy for the second time, and now the government is under great pressure to break its promise. On October 13 local time, 17200 new confirmed cases were reported in the UK, with the total number of infections reaching 634900; 143 new deaths occurred on the same day, with a total death toll of 43000. Northern Ireland has taken the lead in announcing the closure of schools, restaurants and other measures on the evening of 13. Keir Starmer, the British opposition leader, urged the government to implement a nationwide blockade for at least two weeks as soon as possible, criticizing Downing Street for "losing control of the new coronavirus.".

French health authorities reported 13000 new infections on Tuesday, up from 8505 on Monday, but lower than 26900 on Saturday and 16100 on Sunday. The number of ICU patients in France has been at a high level for three months. Nine major cities, including Paris, Marseille and Lyon, are on the highest alert. Bars, gyms and swimming pools are closed and public gatherings are prohibited. French President Emmanuel macron is expected to announce new restrictions in a national television address on the 14th local time.

The outbreak in Belgium, the European political center, has also raised alarm, and experts are discussing the possibility of reopening the closure. The Netherlands announced a new round of social restrictions, including the closure of cafes and restaurants, on the evening of 13. In the Netherlands, 7400 new cases were reported in the same day.

The World Health Organization (who) reported on the evening of the 13th that new cases of new infections in Europe every week are setting a record since the outbreak of the outbreak at the beginning of the year, with the infection rate of the whole European region including Russia rising by 34%. With the frequent outbreak, European governments are increasing restrictions to curb the spread of the virus, struggling to find the best combination of anti epidemic measures to minimize economic damage.

The devastating impact of the new coronavirus epidemic on the job market is showing. The UK labor market has seen the fastest deterioration of unemployment rate since the 2008 financial crisis, and the number of enterprise layoffs has also increased at the fastest rate since records. James Smith, an analyst at ing, points out that although the UK unemployment rate is still at a low level of 4.5% after a rapid rise, it could reach 10% by this winter.

According to Johns Hopkins University, more than 38 million new coronavirus infections have been reported worldwide, with more than 1.08 million deaths. Finance ministers and central bank governors of G20 member countries held a video dialogue on Wednesday to discuss how to restart the world economy after the pandemic.

The second round of fierce, countries have tightened restrictions

In Prague, the Czech capital, many citizens participated in an open-air dinner with a 500 meter long table held on the Charlie bridge at the end of June this year to celebrate the "end" of the unsealing and new coronavirus crisis. At that time, the country of 10.7 million people had 150 new infections a day, with a total of 11700 infections. In three months, only 347 new crown deaths were recorded.

In the first wave of new crown infections in Europe this spring, the Czech Republic, located in Central Europe, was relatively mild. The Czech government announced that the border was closed and most economic activities were stopped. People were asked to stay at home as much as possible and wear masks in indoor and outdoor public places. The Czech government was praised for its rapid response to the new outbreak.

But now, the number of new cases per day in Czech Republic is the largest and fastest growing in Europe. The cumulative number of infected cases has surged from about 25000 in early September to nearly 120000, and the cumulative death toll is expected to exceed 1000 soon.

In the past week alone, the number of hospitalized patients with the new crown in the Czech Republic has doubled to 2106, and some hospitals have had to reduce the number of non emergency care beds in preparation for the further rise of new crown patients.

The detection rate of the country's detection system is not as good as it needs to be fast.

Roman prymula, Czech health minister, is an epidemiologist himself. "Difficult times are just around the corner and we need to do our best," he told the nation at a television news conference on October 12

Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babis warned that a new blockade would not be ruled out and urged people not to go out on weekends. Babys had earlier rejected plans to re enact the mask code. The government's latest series of new measures has been criticized as "too late".

In Europe, Belgium is second only to the Czech Republic in the severity of the epidemic, and experts in the country are already discussing the possibility of re closing the city. According to the latest data from Belgium's national health center from April to April, 89% cases were diagnosed every day. According to the statistics of the European Center for Disease Control and Prevention (ECDC), infection in Belgium has risen to 405 cases per 100000 population in the past 14 days, second only to 493 cases in Czech Republic, ranking second among the most affected countries in Europe.

On the evening of the 13th, Dutch Prime Minister mark Rutte announced at a national television news conference that the Netherlands must restore part of the blockade, including closing bars and restaurants, allowing only takeout or delivery, and banning the sale of alcohol at night. The measures took effect on the 14th for two weeks.

In recent weeks, the number of new crown cases in the Netherlands has also continued to surge, making the country one of the highest per capita infection rates in the world. Worryingly, because of the shortage of testing facilities and staff, not all people with symptoms can get the test in time.

Root, who has been hoping to avoid re imposing strict restrictions, fears it will hurt the fragile economic recovery, is now at the point where action has to be taken or the health care system will be overloaded.

On Tuesday night local time, the Netherlands announced a new round of severe social restrictions, including closing cafes and restaurants and banning the sale of alcohol at night. Bars and restaurants in the Netherlands have been ordered to close to prevent a surge in new coronavirus infections.

Among the major European countries, Germany is recognized as a model for Europe to cope with the new epidemic this spring, and the infection rate has remained at a low level throughout the summer. However, with the fall of temperature in autumn, the number of cases has increased significantly, especially in big cities such as Berlin and Frankfurt. At present, the number of new cases per day is close to 5000, reaching the highest level since April.

According to the Robert Koch Institute of infectious diseases (RKI), 5132 new cases were reported in Germany on the 13th, bringing the total number of infected cases to 334585. As of the evening of October 14, Beijing time, 43 new deaths and 9680 deaths were recorded.

Germany's population shrank slightly for the first time in nearly a decade as the new crown pandemic reduced the number of immigrants flowing in. As of the end of June, about 83.1 million people lived in Germany, with a decrease of 40000, or 0.05%, in the first half of June, according to the Federal Bureau of statistics.

Germany's anti epidemic measures are more moderate than other European countries. Bars, cafes and restaurants in cities such as Berlin close at 11 p.m., and the number of parties is limited. Over the weekend, German Chancellor Angela Merkel held a video conference with the mayors of Germany's 11 largest cities to discuss whether to take stricter measures. Ahead of Merkel's meeting with 16 state leaders on the 14th, Bavaria governor Markus Soder urged Germany to reach a nationwide agreement to work out a common route to curb the spread of the new coronavirus in the next four weeks, or it could be "out of control.".

The first wave of the epidemic hit the hardest hit areas again

In France, new infections have surged since the beginning of September. With Toulouse and Montpellier put on the highest alert of the epidemic on the evening of 11, nine cities have been strictly restricted. About two-thirds of the country's regional alert level systems currently belong to the "virus is spreading" red zone.

The percentage of positive tests in France also rose to 11.5%, twice as much as three weeks ago. In Paris and its surrounding areas, the percentage of positive detection reached 17%. At present, 175000 people are tested every day in China.

French Prime Minister Jean CASTEX warned on the 13th that the country was in the second wave of severe epidemic, warning people not to "take it lightly again" and not rule out the closure of the city again. French health officials admit that the rapid spread of the virus across the country has led to increasing pressure on hospitals.

Kastay said too many people didn't realize that "the second wave has arrived." he also admitted that the government's stop covid tracking app, launched in June, had not worked, with only 2.6 million downloads so far. He said the government was working on a new version to be released on the 22nd of this month.

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced on the 12th the implementation of a new three-level alarm system to impose new restrictions on areas with the highest risk level, such as the city of Liverpool, due to the soaring infection rate and the number of hospitalized patients. Bars, fitness centers, entertainment centers, gambling shops and casinos must be closed down.

The British government hinted that it would not rule out more measures if the new measures did not work. Johnson warned local governments in northern England, which resisted the restrictions, would be "unforgivable" if they did not act accordingly.

On the evening of 13, Northern Ireland's local government, ahead of England, Scotland and Wales, announced that it would re-enter a severe blockade, with bars and restaurants closed for four weeks and schools for two weeks, except for takeout.

Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte also imposed new restrictions on gatherings, restaurants, sports and school activities on the 13th to slow the surge in new coronavirus infection.

Spain's infection rate began to rise again almost immediately after the lifting of strict national closures at the end of June. Spain is still the most infected country in Europe, with nearly 60000 new cases last week. Spanish authorities have been taking local restrictions in response to the outbreak, but since Madrid became the largest source of new infections, the central government's restrictions on Madrid and its surrounding areas have been strongly resisted by local governments.

Less than 10% of Spaniards download and use radar covid, a tracking app launched by the Spanish Ministry of health.

The number of new infections and deaths in Russia on the 13th also hit the country's highest record since the outbreak of arrogance, with 244 deaths within 24 hours and nearly 14000 new infections. However, Anna popova, head of the country's health inspection agency, said there was no plan to re-establish the blockade. "We don't see the point." She said.

In terms of the total number of infections, Russia ranks fourth in the world with more than 1.3 million cases, after the United States, India and Brazil. At present, restaurants, theatres and nightclubs in Russia are open normally. In Moscow, companies are required to ensure that a third of their employees work from home.

The World Health Organization's weekly epidemiological report, released on the 13th, points out that the global new cases have been relatively stable in the past three weeks, but the overall situation has covered up the alarming growth in many countries and regions, especially in Europe, where the second wave has exceeded the previous peak, although some of the reasons are due to increased testing.

France, Russia, the United Kingdom, Spain and Israel reported the highest number of new cases in the past week, with Russia, the United Kingdom, Ukraine and several other countries reporting the highest number of new deaths, the WHO report.

Mike Ryan, executive director of who's health emergency planning, said at a news conference in Geneva that the increase in hospital admissions in the UK, France, Ireland and other European countries was worrying. Given that the current rate of hospitalization in the new crown is still relatively low, he warned against making assumptions about the "disconnect" between the current high number of cases and the low number of deaths, "which could be very, very serious and catastrophic reconnection unless we are very, very careful." Ryan said.

The first high-ranking official among the EU commissioner who is positive for the new crown test has emerged. Mariya Gabriel, from Bulgaria, tested negative for the first time 12 days after her team members showed positive test results. She was responsible for EU innovation, research, culture, education and youth affairs, and some executive committee members who had close contact with her immediately entered into self isolation.

When will the devastated economy recover

The impact of the epidemic continues. According to the latest data released by the office for national statistics on the 13th, the country's unemployment rate rose sharply to 4.5% from 4.1% in July, which is the fastest deterioration rate of unemployment rate since the 2008 financial crisis, and the number of layoffs has also increased at the fastest rate since records.

According to the data released by the office for national statistics, 1.52 million people were unemployed from June to August, an increase of 209 000 on a year-on-year basis and an increase of 138000 on a month on month basis. The number of layoffs has doubled in the past three months, from 114000 to 227000.

The main reason for the increase in unemployment rate is that self-employed men have lost their jobs, while part-time women have completely withdrawn from the job market.

Since the beginning of this year, the total number of employed persons has fallen by 480000, of which 60% are young people aged 16 to 24. According to the office for national statistics, young workers, part-time workers and self-employed workers have been hit hardest. Britain's flexible labor market means that the first round of layoffs tends to be concentrated in self-employed, part-time and temporary workers. The unemployment rate for young people aged 16 to 24 is now 13.4%.

Smith believes the challenges facing the job market are intensifying as the UK as a whole takes new restrictive measures to deal with the epidemic. Although the unemployment rate remained low at 4.5% in the three months to August, the current reference value of this indicator must be discounted in view of the government's supportive measures such as wage subsidies. A number of analysts have warned that the unemployment rate is expected to continue to rise in the second wave of covid-19 and surpass that during the 2008 financial crisis. Tony Wilson, director of the UK employment Institute, predicts at least 600000 job cuts by the end of the year.

The British Chamber of Commerce has urged the government to strengthen the wage subsidy scheme. "We are on the brink of unemployment." "The government must take immediate action to protect and create jobs, and expanding the work support program is a step in the right direction, but it is still insufficient," he said

In response to the latest employment data, the UK chancellor of the exchequer, Rishi Su ⁃ NAK, said he was trying to save as many jobs as possible and help those who had been laid off return to work. He suggested that those who lost their jobs during the pandemic should consider retraining and apprenticeship, for which the government has provided a support programme of 2 billion pounds.

"Unfortunately, we will not be able to save every job." He said.

In order to avoid more damage to the economy, the British government did not adopt the previous scientific advisory group's proposal of a comprehensive blockade. In late September, the government's scientific advisory group reported that unless the government takes immediate action to implement a two-week short-term comprehensive blockade policy to reduce the spread of new coronavirus, the country will face a huge disaster with "unimaginable" consequences.

At that time, in view of the rise in the number of new infections in all age groups across the country, doubling every seven to eight days, the expert group proposed five measures, including the implementation of a short-term comprehensive blockade (several times), recommending that all people who can work at home work at home, prohibit family gatherings, close all bars, restaurants, cafes, indoor gymnasiums and barber shops, and Not absolutely necessary, all university teaching should be conducted online.

In the end, the British government adopted only one of the policy recommendations - advising people to work at home if possible.

The epidemic is not over, but it has left a lasting scar on the economy. The IFS, a think-tank, said in a report released on the 13th that public borrowing would reach 350 billion pounds this year, the highest peacetime borrowing figure since the 1700s, due to the UK government's increased spending in response to the epidemic and a decline in tax revenue during the worst recession in history. It is estimated that the budget deficit will remain at about 151 billion pounds by 2024-25, a few That's three times the 58 billion pounds predicted before the pandemic. The government may need to make "tough decisions" about whether to increase taxes or cut spending, the report said.

Andrew Bailey, governor of the Bank of England, said publicly in a house of Lords meeting on the 13th that he did not believe in the legendary "V-shaped" economic recovery based on the resistance brought by the second wave of epidemic and the public's cautious attitude towards spending and social activities after the pandemic.

He pointed out that economic output in the third quarter may be 9% - 10% lower than it was a year ago. In the second quarter, GDP fell by 22% year-on-year.

The Bank of England believes that by 2024-25, at least 40 billion pounds in taxes or spending cuts will be needed to maintain the size of government bonds at around 100% of GDP; it will be harder to get government debt back to pre pandemic levels.

In the world economic outlook report released by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) on the 13th, the UK's economic forecast data this year was raised from 10.2% to 9.8%, the same as that of France; among European countries, the worst expected GDP contraction is 12.8% in Spain; 10.6% in Italy; and 6% in Germany, the "locomotive" of Europe.

The cumulative rate of tourists from this newly infected area of the Nordic archipelago has been less than 50 million in the past two days of travel to the Italian Isles and Nordic islands to avoid the incidence of the disease A new crown test was performed. Both places rely heavily on British and German tourists for their economies. Since the pandemic, the unemployment rate in Balearic Islands has increased by 90% over the same period of last year; the GDP of Canary Islands has decreased by 32.6%, and the unemployment rate has reached 40%.

In France, which is about to enter the Halloween holiday, the original autumn tourism season has not appeared. According to the latest data from Pro tourism, a tourism consulting agency, at present, the number of domestic hotel, camping, rental housing, holiday village, etc. in France has decreased by 50% compared with the same period last year, and the number of overseas booking has decreased by 80%. In 2019, France's tourism turnover will be 175 billion euro. From the middle of March to the end of September, the tourism turnover will decrease by 42 billion euro compared with the same period last year; it is expected to reduce by another 15 billion euro by the end of this year.

By the end of this year, 25% to 30% of the family hotels in Paris may go bankrupt, according to the French Tourism Council.

Gita Gopinath, chief economist of the International Monetary Fund, wrote on her social account on the 13th that the pandemic will leave profound and lasting scars caused by unemployment, weak investment and children's deprivation of education, and will have a serious impact on efforts to improve living standards around the world.
