Photographs emerged on social media that showed large crowds of twentysomethings celebrating what resembled a Mardis Gras-type party in the streets. The country is set to lift some additional restrictions3 that include children under 15 returning to school and the reopening of movie theaters. There have reportedly been 160,377 cases in the country and nearly 30,000 deaths.

The BBC reported that there were some clashes with police that resulted in the use of tear gas. The new agency reported that the event usually draws millions to the streets.

Dr. Michael Ryan, the World Health Organization's emergency chief, said "the numbers are quickly rising because the epidemic4 is developing in a number of populous5 countries at the same time," even as it appears to be stabilizing6 and even reducing in parts of Western Europe.
世界卫生组织突发事件规划执行主任Michael Ryan博士说:“确诊人数仍在快速攀升,因为疫情在一些人口大国同时蔓延,”虽然在西欧某些地区情况好像稳定了,甚至呈现出了下降趋势。
