As the coronavirus pandemic stretches on, some countries — and U.S. states — are shifting their focus away from stay-at-home measures and toward fixing economies. But some worry prematurely lifting restrictions could spark a resurgence in infections.
A man lies on a bench in front of the Mediterranean sea in Barcelona, Spain, Sunday, April 26, 2020 as the lockdown to combat the spread of coronavirus continues. From Sunday, children under 14 years old will be allowed to take walks with a parent for up to one hour and within one kilometer from home, ending six weeks of compete seclusion.
But some worry that prematurely lifting measures that were imposed to halt the spread of the coronavirus could spark a resurgence in infections. In China, state-run media said that hospitals in Wuhan, the original epicenter of the pandemic, no longer have any COVID-19 patients. And in Japan, the central bank eased monetary policy, prompting a surge in the stock market.
Some encouraging signs were seen, as Italy recorded its lowest 24-hour number of deaths since mid-March, with 260. New York state registered its fewest since late last month, with 367. Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez will present a detailed plan Tuesday for the “de-escalation” of Spain’s lockdown, but said it would be cautious. His French counterpart will do the same on Tuesday.
