California, Texas, Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, Arizona, Arkansas, Oregon, Oklahoma, and Utah are among those in this category.   - Other states have seen sustained drops in new cases in recent weeks, including Virginia, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois, and Maryland. - The FDA pulled its emergency authorization for malaria drugs hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine due to growing evidence of their ineffectiveness and possible deadly side effects.  ![17 June daily cases us graph](https://www.globalguardian.com/hs-fs/hubfs/17%20June%20daily%20cases%20us%20graph.png?width=600&name=17%20June%20daily%20cases%20us%20graph.png) ![17 June daily deaths us graph](https://www.globalguardian.com/hs-fs/hubfs/17%20June%20daily%20deaths%20us%20graph.png?width=600&name=17%20June%20daily%20deaths%20us%20graph.png) ![Map 6.17](https://www.globalguardian.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Map%206.17.jpeg?width=940&name=Map%206.17.jpeg) ![US Chart 6.17](https://www.globalguardian.com/hs-fs/hubfs/US%20Chart%206.17.jpeg?width=940&name=US%20Chart%206.17.jpeg) **Latest global updates:** - **China** initiated a partial lockdown of Beijing after discovering an outbreak centered around the city's Xinfadi Market. Authorities shutdown the market and locked down several neighborhoods in the vicinity. Almost 70 percent of commercial flights were cancelled through Beijing Capital International Airport (PEK/ZBAA) and Beijing Daxing International Airport (PKX/ZBAD) amid increasing restrictions due to the new outbreak.  - **Australia's** Trade Minister Simon Birmingham indicated the country's borders will likely remain closed until 2021; exceptions will be made for international students and other long-term visa holders. - **Germany** has launched its COVID-19 tracing app. - **The European Union **extended it's entry ban to non-EU/Schengen area travelers to at least 30 June. The majority of Europe remains off-limits to international travelers but gradual reopening is expected starting 01 July.  - **Brazil's** outbreak continues to worsen. The country recorded over 35,000 new cases over the last day, bringing the total to nearly 1,000,000. - In **France**, all entry restrictions on travelers arriving from Andorra, United Kingdom (UK), Iceland, Liechtenstein, Monaco, Norway, San Marino, Switzerland, Vatican and the European Union (EU), except for Spain, were lifted from 15 June. **What we know:** - Over 8,300,000 confirmed cases worldwide - 447,000 deaths - Over 4,300,000 recovered **![World Chart 6.17](https://www.globalguardian.com/hs-fs/hubfs/World%20Chart%206.17.jpeg?width=855&name=World%20Chart%206.17.jpeg)** **OUTLOOK**  Brazil, Mexico, Russia, India and the U.S. continue to be global hotspots. In particular, Mexico, Brazil, and India have extremely low testing rates, indicating a much larger outbreak in their respective countries. Concerns remain over a second wave of outbreaks in countries initially hit by the pandemic, such as Iran and Japan. All eyes are on Europe as many countries open their borders to intra-European travel in the hopes of spurring tourism. ![17 june rus daily](https://www.globalguardian.com/hs-fs/hubfs/17%20june%20rus%20daily.png?width=600&name=17%20june%20rus%20daily.png) ![17 june brz daily](https://www.globalguardian.com/hs-fs/hubfs/17%20june%20brz%20daily.png?width=600&name=17%20june%20brz%20daily.png) ![17 june mex daily](https://www.globalguardian.com/hs-fs/hubfs/17%20june%20mex%20daily.png?width=600&name=17%20june%20mex%20daily.png) ![17 june india daily](https://www.globalguardian.com/hs-fs/hubfs/17%20june%20india%20daily.png?width=600&name=17%20june%20india%20daily.png)   [![Request Security](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/2233164/71797a38-0e6b-40f6-a22c-490cf3752bd2.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/2233164/71797a38-0e6b-40f6-a22c-490cf3752bd2) [** Previous Post](https://www.globalguardian.com/newsroom/bloomberg) [Next Post **](https://www.globalguardian.com/newsroom/hurricane-webinar-6-9) ## Check Out Our Latest Updates [ ### Global Guardian's Zev Faintuch Featured in Newsweek TRUMP WARNS OF ‘MASSIVE ATTACK’ ON IRAN AMID QUESTIONS OVER ENDGAME Global Guardian Head of Research and Intelligence Zev Faintuch contributed analysis to Newsweek as... ](https://www.globalguardian.com/newsroom/newsweek-july-24-2026) [ ### Major U.S. Attack on Iran Appears Imminent The situation in the Middle East continues to escalate vertically, horizontally, and rhetorically with increasing signs that the United States (U.S.) is poised to launch a... ](https://www.globalguardian.com/newsroom/major-u.s.-attack-on-iran-appears-imminent) [ ### Conflict with Iran Escalating after Deaths of U.S. Service Members The U.S. military has now struck Iran for 10 straight days, targeting military installations threatening tanker ship traffic in the Strait of Hormuz and other sites in Bandar... ](https://www.globalguardian.com/newsroom/conflict-with-iran-escalating-after-deaths-of-u.s.-service-members) ### Subscribe Here Sign up today to receive monthly articles curated by the Global Guardian team on relevant and important safety and security topics. ![ul listed](https://www.globalguardian.com/hubfs/ul-listed.png "ul listed") ![GG_CertificationFooter_Black-01](https://www.globalguardian.com/hubfs/GG_CertificationFooter_Black-01.webp "GG_CertificationFooter_Black-01") ![ndaa compliant](https://www.globalguardian.com/hubfs/ndaa2.png "ndaa compliant") ##### Solutions [Corporate Solutions](https://www.globalguardian.com/corporate-solutions) [Personal Solutions](https://www.globalguardian.com/personal-solutions) [Government Solutions](https://www.globalguardian.com/government-solutions) ##### Services [Traveler Security](https://www.globalguardian.com/#1) [Asset Security](https://www.globalguardian.com/#2) [Cyber Security](https://www.globalguardian.com/#3) [Customized Security](https://www.globalguardian.com/#4) ##### Learn [Global Digest](https://www.globalguardian.com/global-digest) [Newsroom](https://www.globalguardian.com/newsroom) [Case Studies](https://www.globalguardian.com/case-studies) [FAQ](https://www.globalguardian.com/faq) [COVID-19](https://www.globalguardian.com/covid-19-newsroom) ##### Company [About Global Guardian](https://www.globalguardian.com/about-global-guardian) [Executive Leadership](https://www.globalguardian.com/executive-leadership) [Global Coverage](https://www.globalguardian.com/global-coverage) [Careers](https://www.globalguardian.com/careers) [Licensing](https://www.globalguardian.com/licensing) ##### Talk to Us [+1 (703) 566-9463](tel:+17035669463) [Contact Us](https://www.globalguardian.com/contact) [Request Security](https://www.globalguardian.com/request-security-services) [Emergency Support](https://www.globalguardian.com/emergency-support) [Travel Agents & Affiliates](https://www.globalguardian.com/air-ambulance/travel-agents-affiliates) Stay Connected ### STAY CONNECTED Join Our Community [**](https://www.linkedin.com/company/global-guardian-llc/) © Copyright 2026 Global Guardian.
