The US will reach 3 million joint cases. These are the days leading up to the bleak milestones

In Denver, a testing site at the Pepsi Center was closed within hours after conducting nearly 2,100 tests on Tuesday. Around 500 people were still in line when workers stopped allowing cars inside the facility, CNN affiliation, KWGN reported.

Some hospitals are reaching capacity

City officials are worried that Houston's hospitals are on the verge of being overwhelmed by coronavirus cases.

The number of daily hospitalizations in many countries has increased, placing important resources including staff, beds and ventilators short of supply.

In Texas’ Rio Grande Valley, a hospital in the town of Weslaco set up tents outside to help deal with the entry of Covid-19 patients, CNN Affiliate, KVEO reported.

Debate about reopening the school arose

Teachers protested outside the Orange County Public Schools headquarters on Tuesday.

Debate about how schools will reopen in the fall has risen this week amid coronavirus fears.

Florida schools have been ordered to reopen in August “at least five days per week for all students,” according to the state’s education department.

Teachers in some of the largest school districts in Florida pushed back and gathered to protest.

Meanwhile, Trump is putting pressure on the governor to reopen schools this fall.

“We will strongly pressure the governor and everyone to open schools, to keep them open,” Trump said at the White House event on Tuesday.

MLS will return even if there is a coronavirus problem

San Jose Earthquakes players and other team members have been tested several times since arriving in Orlando.

The whole team has resigned, individual players have opted out and some of the opening day matches of MLS Major League Soccer are the Back Tournament has been postponed.

Maestro de Braga is the first Portuguese in the National Symphony Orchestra of Cuba.

Maestro Filipe Cunha, Artistic Director of the Philharmonic Orchestra of Braga, has been invited to conduct the Cuban National Symphony Orchestra, as announced today.

According to a statement sent by O MINHO, “he will be the first Portuguese conductor to conduct this orchestra in its entire history.”

In addition to this orchestra, the maestro will also work with the Lyceo Mozarteum de la Habana Symphony Orchestra.

The concerts will take place on 4 and 12 March 2023 at the National Theater of Cuba in Havana.

In the words of the maestro, quoted in the statement, “these will be very beautiful concerts with difficult but very complex pieces” and therefore he feels “very motivated”.

From the very beginning, Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 2 will be performed by an Italian pianist (Luigi Borzillo), whom the maestro wants to bring to Portugal later this year. In the same concert, Mendelshon’s First Symphony will be performed.

Then, at the second concert, in the company of the Mexican clarinetist Angel Zedillo, he will perform the Louis Sfora Concerto No. 2. In this concert, the maestro also conducts Tchaikovsky’s Fifth Symphony.

“This is an international recognition of my work. An invitation that I accept with humility and great responsibility. I was surprised to learn that I would be the first Portuguese member of the Cuban National Symphony Orchestra. This is a very great honor,” the maestro said in a statement.

“I take with me the name of the city of Braga and Portugal with all the responsibility that goes with it, and I hope to do a good job there, leaving a good image and putting on great concerts. These will be very special concerts because, in addition to performing pieces that I love, especially Rachmaninov and Tchaikovsky, I will be directing two wonderful soloists who are also my friends. It will be very beautiful,” concludes Filipe Cunha.
