China News Agency, Beijing, May 6th. Comprehensive news: The latest data from the World Health Organization's official website shows that as of 18:37 on the 5th Central European Time, there have been 513,384,685 confirmed cases of new crowns in the world and 6,246,828 deaths from new crowns.

The WHO's official website announced on the 5th that the WHO estimated that between January 1, 2020 and December 31, 2021, the total number of deaths (ie excess deaths) directly or indirectly related to new coronary pneumonia was about 14.9 million. Among them, 84% of excess deaths are concentrated in Southeast Asia, Europe and the Americas, and about 68% of excess deaths are concentrated in 10 countries around the world. In this regard, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus pointed out that this sobering data not only reflects the impact of the new crown, but also should prompt countries to increase investment in health systems to improve their ability to respond to health emergencies in the future.

According to data released by Johns Hopkins University at 9:20 Beijing time on the 6th, a total of 81,692,541 cases have been diagnosed in the United States, and a total of 996,946 deaths.

According to US media reports, data released by the New York State government in the United States showed that more than 9,000 new cases were diagnosed in the state on May 3; The report pointed out that of the 56 high-risk counties in the United States, more than half are in New York State.

In addition, the risk level of the new crown epidemic in New York City in the United States has been raised to "medium risk" a few days ago. The city government also reminded citizens to be vigilant in the next few weeks, especially citizens with underlying diseases should avoid entering crowded places or other high-risk areas as much as possible.

According to a recent report on the website of the National Geographic magazine in the United States, emails obtained by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in contact with public health officials in Michigan show that the CDC sent investigators to a mink in the state at the end of 2020. A mink farm that contracted and died of the new coronavirus is investigating the suspected transmission of the new coronavirus to humans from animals. Subsequent genetic analysis found that four new coronavirus patients in Michigan were infected with a special new coronavirus variant strain, which had been found in minks in Europe and had occurred in "mink-to-human transmission".

But after the investigation, the CDC did not update information on its official website until March 2021, acknowledging that a "small number" of people had been infected with a mutated strain of the new coronavirus associated with minks, suggesting that minks may have transmitted the virus to humans . CDC spokesman Nick Spinelli has repeatedly denied that there is a phenomenon of mink-to-human transmission of the virus in the United States.

According to data released by the Brazilian Ministry of Health on the 5th, 21,682 new cases were diagnosed in Brazil in a single day, with a total of 30,524,183 confirmed cases; 137 new deaths were reported, and a total of 663,896 deaths.

Europe: The European Medicines Agency hopes to have a new crown vaccine against the mutant strain approved by September.
