If you’re just joining us, here are the latest developments on the coronavirus pandemic.

In the US:

The numbers: The US has more than 1.5 million cases and is approaching 92,000 deaths. At least 17 states have recorded a clear upward trend of average new daily cases over the past seven days,

All states will soon be partially reopened: By Wednesday, every US state will have begun lifting lockdown and quarantine measures. The CDC released detailed guidelines for reopening, which uses a three-phase approach.

Death toll prediction is lowered: A key coronavirus model has revised its death projection for the United States slightly downward, now forecasting that 143,360 people will die by August 4.

Uneven economic relief under scrutiny: Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell were front-and-center Tuesday at the first Senate hearing on how the $2.2 trillion coronavirus rescue package is being implemented.

Around the world:

Concerns about children: Doctors are warning that children may develop multisystem inflammatory syndrome, or MIS-C — a complication of Covid-19 infection. Many of the children with the new syndrome have damage to their hearts and need immediate treatment, doctors say.

Brazil records a surge: The country reported 17,408 new cases and 1,179 new deaths — its largest one-day jump since the pandemic began. Brazil now has the third highest number of cases in the world, behind the US and Russia.

Spain sees protests: Spain’s number of daily deaths have stayed under 100 for three consecutive days now. Meanwhile, people have taken to the streets to protest the state of emergency order and movement restrictions.

Italy slowly reopens: The country’s daily death toll rose slightly Tuesday after several days of declining numbers. On Monday, bars, restaurants, stores, hairdressers and museums reopened in most regions after nearly 10 weeks of lockdown.

Japan considers lifting measures: A state of emergency is still in place in eight of Japan’s hardest-hit prefectures, including Osaka and Tokyo. With daily case numbers showing a downward trend, the government is expected to decide tomorrow whether to lift the order in those remaining places.
