As the Indian epidemic continues to ferment, the situation has become tense again.

The out-of-control epidemic in a country with a population of more than 1.3 billion is not just a disaster for a country, it will pose a serious threat to the development of the global epidemic.

Malaysia imposes a nationwide lockdown

On May 10, Malaysian Prime Minister Muhyiddin announced in a statement that from May 12 to June 7 the “movement control order” will be restarted nationwide to curb the spread of the new crown epidemic.

Muhyiddin issued a statement on the same day that the number of newly diagnosed new crown cases in Malaysia in a single day has averaged more than 4,000. The pressure on the public medical system is increasing, but many people are not complying with epidemic prevention measures. This forced the government to decide to take stronger measures to avoid further deterioration of the situation.

At the same time, the latest standard operating procedures were announced, including prohibiting cross-state and cross-county, banning dine-in, banning group social activities, banning most sports or entertainment and leisure activities, closing schools and other educational institutions, and limiting the number of passengers per vehicle. Employers such as enterprises are required to arrange for their employees to work from home, and other economic activities are allowed to continue under the premise of complying with epidemic prevention measures.

During Eid al-Fitr, visits and grave-sweeping are prohibited. Prayer activities in mosques and other prayer places are prohibited from exceeding the limit. Ramadan and Iftar bazaars are also prohibited from operating. The control measures being implemented in Sarawak, Sabah and Labuan in East Malaysia will still be implemented. Continue to implement.

It is foreseeable that the closure of Malaysia on the brink of the Strait of Malacca will have a certain negative impact on trade in the Strait of Malacca.

Many East Asian countries’ oil needs to pass through the Strait of Malacca to reach their country.

The Malaysian blockade will undoubtedly affect shipping.

GAC, a well-known shipping agency, said: After Malaysia was closed down, Malaysia’s crew change business must have ceased. Port operations are still in operation, but it is expected to have an impact, but the extent remains to be seen.

Japan fully enters the fourth wave of epidemic

Also affected by the repeated epidemics, voices questioning whether the Olympic Games should be held in Japan and abroad continue to appear.

Since the end of April, the new crown epidemic in Japan has worsened again, and the emergency state of the epidemic in many regions, including Tokyo, has been postponed to the end of May. The number of newly diagnosed new crown cases exceeded 6,000 for three consecutive days, and Japan has begun to enter the fourth wave of epidemics.

On May 8, 7,232 newly diagnosed cases in Japan in a single day reached more than 7,000 for the first time since January 17 this year.

On May 10, there were more than 6,000 new cases in a single day for several consecutive days, causing public concern. At present, the cumulative number of cases has reached 638,957, of which, the number of deaths has exceeded 10,000, reaching 10,907.

The epidemic counterattacks, tragedies are happening, and the Japanese medical system is being tested.

Hospital beds are in a hurry, new crown patients died at home, nursing homes gathered infections, and the dead bodies could not be processed for many days… Although the Japanese government has decided to extend the “Declaration of Emergency Situations” in Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, and Hyogo to May 31, and new Aichi and Fukuoka prefectures have been added.

However, from the perspective of the development of the state, the effect of this “Japanese-style closure of the city” declaration may still be difficult for the Japanese to resume their long-absent “daily life.”

The Philippines enters a state of disaster

On May 11, local time, a document published by the Presidential Palace of the Philippines stated that due to the outbreak of African swine fever, President Duterte announced that from May 10, the country has entered a one-year state of national disaster.

The report mentioned that this document signed on May 10 shows that African swine fever was first discovered in the Philippines in 2019 and has now spread to 12 regions and 46 provinces of the country.

Despite the measures taken by the government, new infections still occurred. African swine fever has caused the Philippines to reduce the production of 3 million pigs and lose up to 100 billion pesos (about 13.4 billion yuan), which has also led to the continuous rise of domestic pork prices in the Philippines.

In the document signed on the 10th, Duterte stated, “In view of the African swine fever outbreak, it is hereby declared that the Philippines has entered a state of disaster for a period of one year from now, unless the situation requires it to be lifted or extended in advance.
