Globally, it seems that the number of new infections has slightly decreased, especially in the United States. However, several countries are facing spikes of COVID-19 cases, such as India, Italy and Spain.

COVID-19 mitigation and social distancing measures are still in place in most countries.

The COVID-19 is still dominating headlines every day, and amidst all the uncertainty it seems that the challenge will not be disappearing soon.

While there have been certain improvements to the public health situation in some regions, like Europe and China, there has been a significant rise in the number of COVID-19 cases in countries like the United States, Brazil and India.

In some countries, the COVID-19 pandemic seems to be under control despite certain spikes in infections in some regions or states. That is the case, for instance, of Spain and Australia. Lockdowns and other restrictions have ended and borders are starting to be reopened to international travelers. However, other countries such as the US, Mexico, Brazil, India and Iran are reporting rises in the number of coronavirus cases.

International borders are gradually reopening as lockdown and curfew measures have been globally de-escalating. Furthermore, some countries nearly eliminated restrictions, despite certain new waves of infections in China, New Zealand and Germany.

The remarkable efforts made by countries, companies, and people in order to mitigate the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic are significant in ensuring a fast, economic recovery.

Several countries continue to relax measures to mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic due to the fact that the public health situation seems to be gradually improving globally.

The challenges faced worldwide during the COVID-19 pandemic are still visible, as well as the measures in order to adapt or re-adapt in the fast-changing environment of the pandemic.

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is still noticeable in the global economy and disrupting agricultural trade due to measures such as border closures and export bans, as well as because of restrictions of movements of people and workers.
