Brunei updates requirements for outbound travel applications
A few days ago, the Prime Minister's Office of Brunei updated its guidelines for outbound travel applications, and from 1 August 2021, it is mandatory for all outbound travelers to be vaccinated against covid. The relevant requirements are as follows:
1. Scope of application. Brunei citizens and residents are required to apply for exit from the Prime Minister's Office for work abroad, transportation operations, return to their home country on leave (returning to Brunei requires a valid employment visa or family visa), business and other necessary trips to apply for exit from the Prime Minister's Office, all must be vaccinated against the new crown. Diplomatic passport holders, foreign military personnel, people who are contraindicated in the covi vaccine (such as pregnant), emergency travelers, minors under the age of 18, crew members, etc. are not included in this list.
2. Vaccination. For outbound travel, you must apply for an exit permit through the Brunei Prime Minister's Office website in advance. Once approved, you can go to any vaccination site designated by the Ministry of Health of Brunei for vaccination with relevant documents. No appointment is required. Two doses of vaccination must be completed before travel abroad, and the second dose is deemed to have completed the mandatory vaccination after 14 days of inoculation.
3. Exit approval. The completion of the new crown vaccination by the traveller who intends to leave the country does not mean that the exit application is automatically granted, and it still needs to be evaluated and approved by the Prime Minister's Office of Brunei.
4. Entry isolation. All immigrants returning to Brunei from foreign airports or land-sea channels must self-isolate at the hotel. The number of days is determined by the Brunei Ministry of Health based on the risk assessment.

Vaccinated tourists still must be quarantined in China
The Spanish Consulate in Shanghai issued an important notice. If foreign relatives and friends need to travel to CCP China in the near future, please be sure to remind them to be careful.
I checked and I did see a notice on the official website of the Spanish Consulate in Shanghai. It stated that in recent weeks, without any official communication, the Chinese authorities have forced foreign citizens arriving in China to be "hospitalized" regardless of whether they are vaccinated with CCP or foreign vaccines.
After the foreigners arrive at the airport, the CCP personnel conduct blood tests first. If the vaccination antibody test is higher than the number set by the Chinese Communist Party, foreigners are required to sign a document in Chinese only and then forced to be admitted to the hospital.
When the tourists arrive at the hospital, they will be required to do various tests, including blood tests, PCR, and chest MRI and some additional "invasive tests." However, the CCP authorities will not notify them of the inspection results, only that they need to cooperate for 3-4 days.
Toilet paper, towels, any needed hygiene products and bottled water in the hospital can only be purchased through WeChat Pay. They do not accept cash or credit card payments.
People who are going to China in the coming weeks are reminded, "Don't sign documents you don't understand. After signing, you must take a photo for the certificate, because the Chinese Communist Party will not keep a copy for you."

Strange phenomena in the Wuhan Military Games
On 18 October 2019, Wuhan hosted the World Military Games.
The American conservative website RedState stated that at that time, including 284 American athletes and staff, more than 9,000 people from all over the world went to Wuhan to participate in the Military Games but many of them reported symptoms similar to those of the CCP virus, and some became ill after returning to their home countries.
According to the New York Post, there are some unusual circumstances that have raised doubts. Many athletes said that Wuhan at that time looked like a "ghost city." This time is about 2 months earlier than the time when the CCP notified the first patient.
Daily Mail reported that there were nearly 250,000 volunteers assisting the event. Oliver Gorges, a triathlete from Luxembourg, reported that when he arrived at the airport, someone took his temperature and recorded it.
Gorges also introduced that athletes are required to wash their hands every time they enter the restaurant, and they are not allowed to take food out of the venue. He said, "It's weird".
Everyone still remembers that Zhao Lijian, the spokesperson of the CCP’s Wolf Warriors, once threw the pot at the American soldiers, claiming that the American soldiers “spread poison” at this games. Zhao Lijian's slander of American soldiers angered Trump, who subsequently referred to the CCP virus as the "Chinese virus", "Wuhan virus" and "Kung flu " on many occasions.
Why did Zhao Lijian mention the Wuhan Military Games? This time is about 2 months earlier than the time when the CCP notified the first patient. Does this mean that there were already patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 (CCP virus) during the Wuhan Military Games?

Nobody can imagine how bad things the CCP will do
It was terrifying to see CCP scientists engaging in "male rats giving birth to cubs". In order to solve the problem of population aging, this may be "part of the reason for the small proportion."
A netizen believes that “this research may be used in the future to conduct secret experiments on practitioners, Xinjiang people, prisoners, homeless people, and the tangping tribe. Even if the original purpose of this research is not these groups.”
The netizen said, "As for why the research is about male reproduction, rather than female asexual reproduction, think about the females in Xinjiang concentration camps and the females arrested during the Hong Kong anti-transmission activities, and you can know the reason!"

Covid patient zero appeared on 17 November 2019? Consistent with internal CCP documents
Investigation into the source of SARS-CoV-2 and covid is getting more and more intense. Where did this virus come from? Laboratory or nature? A recent study yesterday provided important clues to an equally critical question: When did the real "patient zero" appear?
A new study released on 25 June 2021 showed that the virus may have spread in China as early as October 2019, two months earlier than the "first case" officially claimed by the Chinese Communist Party.
According to the study, the most likely first case occurred on 17 November 2019. This is actually the same as an official secret CCP document revealed by the South China Morning Post in March 2020.
On 24 June 2021, the journal "PLOS Pathogens" (PLOS Pathogens) published a paper showing that researchers at the University of Kent in the United Kingdom used database and data set comparison methods to calculate China’s first infection cases may appear on 4 October 2019 [the earliest]. The most likely [time period] for this "patient zero" is mid-November, and they even inferred a specific date, which is 17 November.
According to media reports, these researchers used the "Optimal Linear Estimation Algorithm" (OLE for short), which is a mathematical model in the field of environmental/species conservation science (conservation science), which is generally used to estimate the extinction date of species. But in fact, this model has a wide range of applications, and can be used in archaeology, studying periodic biological events, and so on. The research team at the University of Kent used this model to analyze the spread of the virus to more than 200 countries before May 2020 to infer the time point of the virus's origin.
Of course, this method only provides an approximate time, not a final word but they also said that this does provide a valuable perspective for everyone to understand the possibility of the virus spreading unconsciously in the world.
This study even detailed the possible time for the virus to spread to other countries: 3 January to Japan, then 7 January to Thailand, 12 January to Spain, 14 January to South Korea and then, on 16 January, it spread to the United States.
This research, pointing out that the earliest cases appeared, is indeed likely to be much earlier than the Chinese Communist Party's official claims.
When reporting this paper, many mainstream media said that the earliest cases officially announced by the CCP appeared on 8 December 2019.
Now, British scientists have studied another method to advance this time even earlier, so the outside world believes that this is an amazing progress.
According to a paper published by Huang Chaolin, vice president of Wuhan Jinyintan Hospital and others in The Lancet on 24 January 2020, there is another case of onset on 1 December 2019. According to the time difference between onset and infection, then this case is infected. It should be the end of November 2019. More importantly, this patient is a patient with cerebral infarction in his 70s who is sick at home. In other words, the earlier infection of this patient and the people who infected this patient have been pushed to November 2019 from the perspective of time.
In March 2020, the Hong Kong newspaper South China Morning Post once exclusively revealed a non-public official document of the CCP. As early as 17 November 2019, a 55-year-old resident in Hubei Province was diagnosed with the novel coronavirus. This pushes the time even earlier.
"South China Morning Post" was acquired by Jack Ma. There are many official resources from the mainland, and there are often some exclusive reports on the mainland.
The South China article reported that according to a confidential document, the Chinese Communist government had learned of covid as early as November 2019, and confirmed that at least 266 people have been infected, and these people have been isolated by the authorities. Since that day, about 1 to 5 new cases will be added every day. As of 20 December, the number of confirmed cases had reached 60. As of 1 January 2020, the number of confirmed cases known to the CCP authorities has actually reached 381. However, until 11 January 2020, the Wuhan Municipal Health Commission still claimed that there were only 41 confirmed cases.
The report by the South China Morning Post is based on information from the Chinese Communist government, but it did not disclose where it came from. The report concluded that according to the statements of a group of doctors, it seems that the medical circle in Wuhan knew about the disease at the end of December 2019 and collected many specimens of suspected cases. However, these valuable initial case data could not be confirmed due to the obstruction of the China CDC, which delayed the clinical findings of the doctors. Moreover, the CDC also ordered that no information about what was called "Wuhan pneumonia" in Taiwan, "Wuhan virus" in Singapore, Malaysia at the time should be disclosed to the public.
The significance of the pairing of these two time points, in addition to advancing the earliest internal record of the CCP, has another significance, which also shows that the CCP is deliberately covering up the news of the epidemic.
Yesterday, we also mentioned that the Wall Street Journal reported that in June last year Chinese scientists asked the National Institutes of Health NIH to delete the 241 gene sequencing data they submitted to the NIH in March. Swiss virus expert Dr. Dong Yuhong analyzed that the data they submitted for the detection of some patients in January-February 2020 showed that the virus belonged to the grandfathers, which is different from the grandchildren virus detected at Wuhan Huanan Seafood Market. This also shows that the CCP is covering up.

More than 30,000 people in Hong Kong airport grounds tested negative despite solo covi case
According to the website of Radio Hong Kong, the Hong Kong Centre for Health Protection (CHP) confirmed that the 27-year-old airport ground crew was confirmed to have Delta (Covi72), and his virus genome is consistent with the three confirmed cases who arrived in Hong Kong from Indonesia in the morning of 11 June, two of them detected at the airport temporary sampling center. Preliminary investigation revealed that the 27-year-old ground crew had received the crew of the cargo flight at the airport that morning and had stayed in the temporary sampling centre to work.
The Director of the Hong Kong Food and Health Bureau Chen Zhaoshi said that the CHP is investigating, including the route of infection, and hopes to find the source and intercept it. The close contacts of the ground handler and other relevant persons have been sent for quarantine, and no other positive cases have been found for the time being. It is believed that the CHP will also conduct antibody tests on people sent for quarantine, and the building where the confirmed ground handler lives has been enclosed and tested. Together with other related persons including those working at the airport, the authorities have tested more than 30,000 people, all of which are negative.
As for whether there are loopholes in Hong Kong’s epidemic measures, Chen Zhaoshi said that the overall epidemic situation in Hong Kong is getting better, but other countries and regions may not. For example, the epidemics in Europe and the United States have rebounded, and the variant virus strains are raging. She believes there are still possible sporadic cases. The most important thing is that the authorities assess the risks and immediately upgrade the rating or adopt a circuit breaker mechanism when necessary. At the same time, Hong Kong citizens must be vaccinated to build an immune barrier.
When asked whether there will be a fifth wave of the epidemic in Hong Kong, Chen Zhaoshi said that the risk has always existed and Hong Kong must be prepared. Regarding whether social distancing measures will be tightened, she said that any adjustment measures will be based on the vaccine bubble. The government does not I hope that the premises will be closed due to the change of the epidemic, and I hope that there will be limited relaxation.
In addition, the authorities said earlier that for those arriving in Hong Kong who have received the covi vaccine, if the virus test is negative when they arrive in Hong Kong and the antibody serum test is positive, the quarantine period will be reduced to 7 days and will be implemented on the 30th of this month at the earliest. The first phase will cover Hong Kong residents. Chen Zhaoshi said that the authorities are still dealing with the list of accredited institutions for antibody testing, and that measures will be implemented only after the list is announced.

Don't want serious side effects after vaccination? Pay attention to 4 things
Text : Su Guanmi
Vaccine side effects can be mild or severe. How to prevent and detect serious side effects after vaccination in advance? The 4 physiological values of the body will tell you.
Evaluate more before administering the vaccine, observe and check for abnormalities
When the vaccine activates the body's immune system and stimulates antibodies, it can easily cause side effects such as fever, muscle aches, headaches, diarrhea, and fatigue. For some elderly people, three-high groups, and patients with chronic diseases (such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, kidney disease), the process of vaccine-induced immune response can easily aggravate the original condition. For people whose condition is not well controlled, It is even more dangerous.
Huang Bingwen, executive director of the Taiwan Association of Emergency and Intensive Care Medicine and director of the emergency department of Xiu Chuan Memorial Hospital, pointed out that physiological values such as blood pressure and blood sugar must be measured before and after the vaccine is administered to grasp the physical condition. Before the vaccine is administered, if these values are different from the usual basic values, they should be treated first before vaccination.
Before the vaccine is administered, there are 3 ways to grasp the physical condition:
Normal return visits and medical treatment: Don't dare to go to the hospital for fear of catching the epidemic, which may cause health deterioration.
Families observe whether there are any abnormalities: Before administering the vaccine, family members can observe whether the elderly and patients with chronic diseases in the family are more panting, weak, tired, and weak than usual. If so, they can consider delaying the vaccination.
Measure blood pressure, heartbeat and other numbers: Before vaccination, it is recommended to use instruments to measure blood pressure, pulse, blood sugar and other physiological values at home or in the clinic. Now that the three seniors are getting younger, not only the elderly, but also the middle-aged and middle-aged people are advised to measure these physiological values before vaccinating.
In addition to western medicine clinics, Huang Bingwen said that people can also ask Chinese medicine practitioners to take their pulses and assess whether their health conditions are suitable for vaccinations.
Before getting the vaccine, it is recommended to use instruments to measure blood pressure, pulse, blood sugar and other physiological values at home or in the clinic. (Shutterstock)
After administering the vaccine, closely monitor 4 physiological values
After vaccination, if you experience chest tightness, headache, bruising, or wheezing, seek medical attention as soon as possible. Huang Bingwen pointed out that it is best to measure physiological values such as body temperature, pulse, blood pressure, and respiratory rate in the morning and evening within 3 days to 2 weeks of vaccination for the elderly, the three-high group and patients with chronic diseases.
1. Take your body temperature: If you feel uncomfortable after the vaccine, you can use analgesics or fever-reducing drugs in appropriate amounts. Allowing the fever to go away and holding on it reluctantly will put yourself at high risk.
2. Measure blood pressure: If the blood pressure exceeds 130, you should go to the hospital and take appropriate medication.
3. Measure the pulse: The elderly may not have a fever but the pulse, blood pressure or breathing rate is already changing. The normal pulse rate is within the acceptable range between 50 and 100 per minute. When the pulse rate exceeds 100 to 120, you should go to the nearest clinic for treatment. If it exceeds 120, you must call an ambulance.
If you do not have a device to measure your pulse at home, you can use your fingers to measure it yourself. The method is to put the index finger, middle finger, and ring finger together on the wrist on the thumb side, and you can feel the pulse beating.
Image : Measure your pulse with your fingers at any time, and it is within the acceptable range between 50 and 100 in one minute. (Shutterstock)
4. Measure breathing rate: observe the number of breaths per minute. Normal people breathe about 16 times a minute, over 20 times they will breathe, and over 30 times they will breathe out. In clinical practice, some patients felt that they did not breathe, and as a result, the respiratory rate was over 20.
After vaccination, it is generally recommended to drink plenty of water, but patients with kidney dialysis and heart disease will not be able to get rid of them if they drink too much water. Too much water in the body of dialysis patients will cause panting, so pay attention to the breathing rate.
Modern medical equipment has many functions. It can measure blood pressure, pulse or blood oxygen at the same time, and some can even watch electrocardiogram. These devices are available at high or low prices. If the economy permits, they can be purchased at home during the epidemic period for close monitoring, which helps to grasp the physical condition, and seek medical treatment if abnormalities are detected early.
The general public can go to the grassroots clinics to administer the vaccine. Because the doctors at the grassroots clinics are more aware of the local people's medical conditions, it is easier for people to communicate with the doctors in the clinics they are more familiar with. People with more health conditions are recommended to go to a large hospital for the treatment. If they find that their physical condition is serious, they can go directly to the emergency department. All of these help the vaccinators' health status to be more fully assessed, and more time for medical care and the public to communicate, health education, and reduce serious side effects and sudden death cases.

Guangzhou epidemic is dangerous and unpredictable. Zhong Nanshan: Another quarantine station isolating 5,000 people will be built in the suburb
Reporter : Luo Ting Ting / Editor : Wen Hui / https://www.ntdtv.com/gb/2021/06/26/a103151887.html / Translation, editing : Gan Yung Chyan, KUCINTA SETIA / Image : Noel Celis/AFP via Getty Images
Zhong Nanshan, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, said a few days ago that the variant virus spread in Guangzhou is very contagious, and ordinary isolated hotels can’t be used for isolation. Therefore, the Guangzhou government decided to build a new quarantine station isolating 5,000 people.
Guangzhou officials announced on 26 June that there were no new local cases in the province on the 25th, and only 4 confirmed cases imported from abroad. 1 case from Shenzhen, from South Africa; 1 case from Zhuhai, from Saudi Arabia; 1 case from Foshan, from Saudi Arabia; 1 case from Jiangmen, from Liberia.
On the same day, there were 9 newly imported asymptomatic infections in Guangzhou, 4 in Guangzhou, 2 in Foshan, 1 in Dongguan, and 2 in Zhongshan. However, outsiders questioned that the Chinese Communist Party's centennial celebration is approaching, and the Guangzhou authorities are likely to "political reset" to create a stable atmosphere.
Guangzhou announced on 24 June that Baihedong Street in Liwan District will be adjusted from a high-risk area to a medium-risk area. With the exception of Heyuan Community, Liwan District will resume external personnel and traffic from now on.
Chen Bin, deputy director of the Guangzhou Municipal Health Commission, stated on 25 June that “unblocking does not mean removing control” and said that another round of nucleic acid inspections for all employees will be completed before 30 June.
Chen Bin said, "The characteristics of virus transmission tell us that the string of epidemic prevention and control must be tightened at all times. Anti-rebound, anti-proliferation, anti-input and anti-overflow are still the top priority of current prevention and control work."
On the same day, Zhong Nanshan said, “Guangzhou has decided to build an international health station in the suburbs to replace the current isolation hotel, with 250,000 square meters and 5,000 independent rooms, strictly isolated and not infecting each other.”
He also said, "In the long run, this must be done."
Delta (Covi72) currently circulating in Guangzhou is highly contagious and spreads quickly. Feng Zijian, a researcher at the Center for Disease Control and Prevention of the Communist Party of China, said that the local epidemics in Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and Dongguan all involve the Delta variant virus, and its infectivity and transmission capacity have been significantly enhanced, the incubation period or the passage interval has been shortened, and the transmission speed has accelerated.
He said that the transmission capacity of Covi72 is the strongest among the current variant viruses, and the transmission capacity is more than 40% higher than that of Alpha (Covi17).
According to a recent official report, two women in Guangzhou were infected within 14 seconds of coexistence in the bathroom, which was the infection case with the shortest contact time.
Currently, Guangzhou has temporarily lifted traffic restrictions, but the epidemic is still dangerous and unpredictable. As of 24 June, Guangdong Province currently has 9 medium-risk regions, of which 4 medium-risk regions are located in Guangzhou, and the remaining 5 medium-risk regions are in Foshan, Shenzhen and Dongguan.

Unqualified oximeters purchased from web-sites reported in Taiwan
Reporter : Wang Haoci / Translation : Gan Yung Chyan, KUCINTA SETIA
Some people buy cheap oximeters online but they did not expect the child to put it on the doll’s ears and measure the blood oxygen. With the heartbeat, the PO writers exclaimed, is this 'baby' alive? In addition, some people bought a blood oxygen machine for 180 Dollars online, and used it to test the original pen, and the blood oxygen concentration turned out to be 99. The pharmacist explained that the oximeter detects red blood cells through infrared rays. If the blood oxygen measurement is not accurate, the public is advised not to use it again, and he called for the purchase of am oximeter with medical permit to save lives in times of emergency.
People yelled, "Hey! Yes, hey? (Blood oxygen concentration) 98."
A netizen took out a brand-name blood oxygen machine purchased online and clamped it in the hand of a bearish doll. He did not expect to wait for about 10 seconds to run out of blood oxygen. The value of 98 is even more to blame.
He used a ball pen to test and the blood oxygen concentration 99 is even more bizarre. It turned out that some people shared it online.
Another member of the public bought an oximeter a while ago. He did not expect his child to play with it and clip it on the little sheep doll. The child found that there was blood oxygen and heartbeat. He did not believe that I repeated it two or three times. The family did not expect it to have a value. They joked that it is impossible that the sheep doll is alive. The dumbfounding situation has not only been encountered by one person.
The person interviewed said, "Sometimes I put a doll, pen, and pen in it, and sometimes it will be strange. For example, if I put a pen in, my heartbeat will be 250."
In contrast, if the oximeter has passed the medical service audit of Taiwan's Ministry of Health, the oximeter with approved materials will not display any value when detecting the item. The pharmacist explained that the blood oximeter bought by the public indicates that there is a problem with the detected item. In case the people are already happy and hypoxic, such a blood oximeter is impossible to detect precisely, so it is recommended not to use it anymore.
Pharmacist Yi Lizhen commented, "The monitoring speed (without medical license) will be slower, and after the (measurement) is over, they may sometimes jump to 93, to 92 and then slowly slow down. Slow, it only senses above 95.” In addition, people found that blood oxygen machines on the Internet are more expensive, many of them cost more than NT$5000, and even NT$7,000 to $8,000. The pharmacist said that the current oximeter is more expensive. As they are in shortage, many online prices have indeed risen but after all, oximeters are medical equipment under the control of the Food and Drug Administration. People are urged not to buy them online.

How terrible is Covi72? Wear a mask to dispose trash and nod to say hello to get infected
Reporter : Hou Chengxu / https://news.ltn.com.tw/news/life/breakingnews/3583325 / Translation : Gan Yung Chyan, KUCINTA SETIA
A total of 6 people in Fangshan Township, Pingtung County are currently infected with the Delta variant (Covi72). According to the epidemic report of the Ping County Government, they met and nodded when they took out the garbage with their neighbors next door. Both of them wore masks and were finally diagnosed.
A pair of grandparents who returned from Peru went to Fangshan, Pingtung for home quarantine. A fever was diagnosed on the 14th. Three relatives and friends living next door were also diagnosed one after another. One of them also took a taxi. Yes, all 6 people were infected with Covi72. Another 6 confirmed cases are still being compared.
Exactly how the mother and grandchildren returned from Peru infects relatives and friends next door, the trajectory has aroused concern. The Pingtung County Government said that after various pipeline investigations, no facts have been found in violation of the home quarantine regulations.
It is understood that the diagnosed person next door to the mother and grandson of Peru’s returnee to the country revealed to the epidemic investigator that when he went out to throw rubbish, he happened to meet his neighbour also went out to dispose rubbish. Both parties wore masks and kept a certain distance. They just nodded briefly with the other side, hurried up and went home separately. There is no situation such as stopping by neighbours' houses or having a meal together.
County officials said that Covi72 has a very strong spreading power. At present, it is fully contained, including elimination, screening, and vaccinations. It is hoped that the whole people will jointly prevent the epidemic.

House Republicans on Thursday (June 24) asked the Speaker of the House of Representatives and California Democrat Rep. Nancy Pelosi to hold a hearing to investigate the source of the Chinese Communist virus. At the press conference, Republicans said that because the Democrats refused to hold the hearing, they planned to hold it themselves.
According to Fox News, the House of Representatives Republican whip, Louisiana Republican Rep. Steve Scalise, in a meeting with the Chairman of the House Republican Conference, New York Republican Rep. Elise, the news was announced at a press conference held by Elise Stefanik and members of the GOP Doctors Caucus.
Scullis stated that Republicans “request the Speaker of the House of Representatives Pelosi to hold a hearing to investigate the origin of COVID-19. For more than a year, House Republicans have been making such appeals because of what we have heard. More and more reports and evidence from China indicate that SARS-CoV-2 may originate from the Wuhan laboratory."
Scarlis also added, “However, Speaker Pelosi still refuses to hold a hearing on the origin of COVID-19. “Why does Speaker Pelosi try to cover up what China (the Chinese Communist Party) is doing?”
Stephen Nick said, "The evidence is clear. China (the CCP) lied and caused the death of Americans."
Scarlett said that just this past Wednesday, he asked the chairman of the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis and the South Carolina Democratic Rep. Jim Clyburn hearing about the origin of the virus was held, but Kleborn refused. But Scarlett, a senior member of the committee, said that Republicans will solve the problem themselves.
According to a news conference on Thursday, former Assistant Secretary of Health and Human Services Brett Giroir and Hudson Institute senior researcher David Asher The Ph.D. will attend the Republican Committee hearing next Tuesday.
Pelosi’s office countered that the House of Representatives is investigating the source of the SARS-CoV-2.

Iceland lifts all Covid restrictions first in Europe
Reuters reported that Iceland will lift all covid epidemic restrictions on Saturday and is expected to become the first European country to do so.
Health Minister SvandÃs Svavarsdóttir said on Friday that starting Saturday, Icelanders will no longer need to maintain social distancing or wear masks.
The country has an acclaimed detection and tracking system, and has implemented multiple lockdown measures to prevent the surge in infections.
Swawarsdottir said, "We are restoring the social life we used to and have been waiting for."
Iceland’s upcoming restrictions include restrictions on public gatherings and a two-meter social distancing rule.
87% of people in Iceland received the first dose of the covi vaccine, which is reported to be the highest among similar countries.
Iceland has a population of only 360,000 people, with an average infection rate of 1.6 per 100,000 every two weeks. The number of confirmed cases and deaths in Iceland is also relatively low, with a total of 6,637 infections and 30 deaths.

Covi72 cases surge, Israel restores indoor mask order
Cases of Covi72 continue to increase sharply. Israel today told its citizens that it is still necessary to wear masks indoors, and this regulation was cancelled 10 days ago.
According to the Central News Agency, Israel’s Coordinator for Epidemic Response Nachman Ash said through the public radio station that since more than 100 new cases were confirmed for 4 consecutive days, 227 people were newly infected yesterday, so this decision was made.
Ash said: "The number of new cases will double every few days. Another worry is that the epidemic is spreading. If most of the infected people are in two cities, there will be an increase in cases in other cities and communities. ."
The Israeli Ministry of Health once again requires that all indoor places outside of their homes wear masks, and recommends wearing masks at outdoor large-scale gatherings, especially the gay parade that will be held this weekend.
Among Israel's 9.3 million people, about 55% have received two doses of Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine. Last month, the vaccination age was lowered to 12-15 years old, but the vaccination rate for this age group is not high.
Ashe said in April that when 75% of people are infected with covid, they are naturally immunized or vaccinated, Israel can achieve "herd immunity."
However, in view of the higher infectivity of Covi72, Ash raised the vaccination standard to "at least 80%."
According to the Ministry of Health, currently about 65% of Israel’s population has been vaccinated or recovered from the infection.

The new variant Delta+ has spread to 11 countries
The highly contagious variant of SARS-CoV-2, Delta, is coming so aggressively, leading to the delay in the unblocking of the United Kingdom, the partial closure of Sydney, Australia, and the Israeli government re-ordering indoor masks. However, just as the variant attracted international attention, the Delta variant itself mutated.
The Public Health Agency of England (PHE) stated that this new variant called K417N has appeared in at least 11 countries including the United Kingdom, the United States, and Japan. Indian officials refer to K417N as Delta+. Scientists said that it is not yet certain whether Delta+ has a stronger infectious power and fatality rate.
Although it is not certain where the variant first appeared, the Public Health Agency of England reported on Delta+ for the first time in an announcement on June 11, saying it was a subline of the Delta variant first discovered in India last year.
Anurag Agrawal, director of the CSIR Institute of Genomics and Integrative Biology, said: “There is no reason to think that the new variant will be more serious than Delta, but there is no reason to think that it will be more serious than Delta. Not a harmless variant."
Ravindra Gupta, a professor of clinical microbiology at the University of Cambridge, said that although the virus itself often undergoes significant and significant mutations, "Delta+ is not." He also said that similar mutations also appeared in the Alpha strain, but it did not become more dangerous, and there is no need for the outside world to panic.
However, in order to avoid the spread of Delta+, India's richest state of Maharashtra has ordered the closure of shopping malls and movie theaters on Friday.
According to the state's Ministry of Health, at least 20 cases in Maharashtra have been found to be related to Delta+, and India designated the variant as a variant requiring special attention on Tuesday.
Scientists worry that when India recovers from the previous wave of infections, Delta+ may trigger another wave of epidemics.
A senior government official in Maharashtra, who asked not to be named, told Reuters: "Until a week ago, the positive rate and the daily infection rate had been declining, but in some areas, the number of cases started to rise again."
"We don't know if this is due to the relaxation of restrictions or due to new variants, but this is a worrying issue," the official said.
India is currently conducting research to test the effectiveness of existing vaccines for this variant.
The head of the Indian Medical Research Council, Balram Bhargava, said: "The results should be available in about 7-10 days to determine whether the vaccine is effective for Delta+."

CCP seizes vaccine and coerces Ukraine to withdraw from Xinjiang human rights statement
According to the Associated Press, after Ukraine signed a joint statement to support the investigation of the human rights situation in Xinjiang, the CCP threatened to withhold 500,000 doses of Sinovac CoronaVac vaccine shipped to Ukraine, forcing Ukraine to withdraw from the statement.
A few days ago, Canada took the lead in reading a statement at the UN Human Rights Council, urging the CCP to immediately allow independent observers to enter Xinjiang, and more than 40 countries including Ukraine responded to sign the statement.
Two unnamed diplomats told the Associated Press that the Chinese authorities warned Kiev that unless Ukraine withdraws support for this statement, the CCP will block the shipment of 500,000 doses of CoronaVac to Ukraine. Ukraine subsequently withdrew from this statement.
Ukraine has agreed to purchase 1.9 million CoronaVac vaccines. In early May, Ukrainian Health Minister Maxim Stepanov stated that 1.2 million doses had been received.
In the past, the CCP authorities have repeatedly pressured other countries to urge not to support the statement seeking to investigate human rights in China.
