The European Union announced today, Tuesday, that it will re-open its external borders, starting from tomorrow, Wednesday, excluding US, Brazil and India, Al-Arabia reported.

Americans, Brazilians and Indians are excluded in the short term due to the number of U.S. coronavirus cases.

Noteworthy, Brazil’s health authorities announced on Tuesday, 24052 new Coronavirus cases and 692 new deaths during the past 24 hours.

The ministry said that the total number of the cases reached nearly one million and half, while the deaths reached 58314, according to Brazilian Newspaper “Tribuna”.

It is worth mentioning that, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared coronavirus a global pandemic as the new virus has rapidly spread to more than 121,000 people from Asia to the Middle East, Europe, and the United States.

More cases of the virus, which causes respiratory disease COVID-19, continue to emerge, with outbreaks in South Korea, Italy, and Iran.

People across the globe partake in self-isolation for 14 days as an effective precautionary measure to protect those around them and themselves from contracting COVID-19.

Transmission of virus between humans happens when someone comes into contact with an infected person’s secretions, such as droplets in a cough.

It can also be transmitted by coming into contact with something an infected person has touched and then touching your mouth, nose, or eyes.
