As for the primacy of the United States in terms of number of people infected, the president minimized by insinuating that the real numbers in China are not known. “And who knows what the numbers really are in China?” Said Donald Trump who added: “It is a tribute to our ability to test.”

The joint declaration on the table does not mention either the European stability mechanism, which Italy has had removed, nor a common debt instrument, which the rigorists continue to oppose. At this point the ball returns to the Eurogroup.

The Dutch central bank governor, Klaas Knot, distances himself from his government against Eurobonds. “This is a test for the Eurozone. When you see what happens with the virus in countries like Italy and Spain, I believe that the request for solidarity is extremely logical. How you implement this solidarity is a political decision: Coronabonds are a way. There are others, such as Mes, “said Knot in an interview with the online newspaper NRC.
Africa
WHO regional director for Africa, Matshidiso Rebecca Moeti, called the situation of the Coronavirus epidemic on the continent “very worrying”. “There is a dramatic evolution, with a geographical increase in the number of countries and also in the number of people infected,” he said. “There are 39 countries with around 300 cases per day”, for a total of 2,234 cases.

Almost all nations are now tightening controls and preventive measures.
The situation in the region, albeit numerically better than that of North America, has been called “alarming” by the World Health Organization (WHO). The main cause of the concerns is the weakness of the health structures of most countries, which are also suffering from normal assistance to the population.
