![[Image: 5e81af1c2b88a.jpg]](https://alexis.lindaikejisblog.com/photos/shares/5e81af1c2b88a.jpg)
An 86 year old woman, Sheila Brooks from the UK died last month from coronavirus and now the family has come out to encourage people to take social distancing measures seriously after losing two loved ones to coronavirus and almost 16 relatives have become infected with the virus.
Sheila died on February 9 from Covid-19 and her funeral was held on March 13.
Within days after her burial, niece Susan Nelson, 65, fell ill and later died of coronavirus even though she had no underlying health conditions. Susan, a retired sandwich shop owner from Halesowen, West Midlands, died on the same hospital ward as her aunt Sheila.
![[Image: 5e81af418106e.jpg]](https://alexis.lindaikejisblog.com/photos/shares/5e81af418106e.jpg)
Now, a further 16 family members- including Susan's husband, daughter, a niece and a great-uncle who have the virus, have said they suspect they caught the virus at Sheila’s funeral.
Susan's daughter Amanda, 34, an NHS business support manager, is now isolating with her father, Robert, who suffers from Addison’s Disease.
![[Image: 5e81af5adef8d.jpg]](https://alexis.lindaikejisblog.com/photos/shares/5e81af5adef8d.jpg)
Amanda said she is worried the disease could claim the life of other family members
‘My 21-year-old cousin has it, right the way up to a great uncle that is 88 and is showing some symptoms. ‘It is a whole section of us, none of us seems to have been missed out of it just yet. It’s a bit strange.' She said to Metro UK.
![[Image: 5e81af7958f60.jpg]](https://alexis.lindaikejisblog.com/photos/shares/5e81af7958f60.jpg)
‘I would say around 17 family members have been displaying symptoms since going to that funeral. It’s hit young and old in our family.Our beautiful, caring mum was the centre of the family – we are a very close, large family and this has destroyed us.’
![[Image: 5e81afa80dba9.jpg]](https://alexis.lindaikejisblog.com/photos/shares/5e81afa80dba9.jpg)
Susan's 42 year old son Carl, who lives in Cleckheaton, Yorkshire, said to Metro UK: ‘She was coughing a lot, very breathless and showing all the traditional symptoms. He added that her sudden death ‘shows how quickly this can escalate’.
‘I managed to speak to her on the phone when my dad got [to the hospital] and all she wanted was for me to come down,’ Carl said.
‘I had my suitcase packed ready to head down, but the hospital were telling me I wasn’t allowed.
I had to tell her they wouldn’t let me and I wasn’t allowed to see her. I didn’t want her to die thinking that I didn’t want to come. ‘We have got to beat it and we can’t have any other families to go through what we are going through at the moment.
‘It’s about getting the message out. It’s about seeing the faces of loved ones and thinking this is real.’
‘The speed it acts at is phenomenal and how vicious it is can’t be underestimated. ‘Everyone, please follow the advice. Stay home, stay safe. Anyone who thinks they are fit and healthy, that it’s just like the cold or flu, don’t risk it.’ Carl said
Amanda added: ‘The last person I thought it would take would be my mum. I was worried about my dad, who has underlying health conditions.’

Bishop dies of Coronavirus as church faces criticism over some of its practices
![[Image: 5e822c5ddb478.jpg]](https://alexis.lindaikejisblog.com/photos/shares/5e822c5ddb478.jpg)
A 71-year-old prominent bishop in the Serbian Orthodox Church (SPC), Milutin Knezevic has died from coronavirus less than a week after being hospitalized.
Knezevic who was diagnosed with coronavirus alongside two other priests from the Valjevo diocese, drew public concern as his church still engaged in some practices which include kissing of shrines and even using a single spoon in the communion which had been banned under emergency regulations.
His diocese confirmed his death on Monday March 30, days after the church faced accusations of flouting emergeny health regulations.
Earlier this month, the Serbian government declared state of emergency and suspended public gatherings to curb the spread of the coronavirus. However on March 15, several videos emerged of people taking communion from a single spoon and goblet.
SPC however defended itself in a statement which read in parts;
Quote:“It is senseless and extremely malicious of all those who neither go to church nor take communion to expect the church to deprive its faithful of what is the most important to them.
"It is a a pure lie that SPC practice jeopardizes the health of the population."
However in the last few days, the church has limited communion to individuals in their homes. The church has also recommended funerals with few people and rescheduled baptisms until after the pandemic subsides.
The Serbian Orthodox Church wields considerable influence in some former republics of old Yugoslavia with around 12 million members mainly in Serbia, Montenegro and Bosnia.

Coronavirus: Florida pastor arrested for holding fully-packed church services despite stay-at-home order
![[Image: 5e82e191eb076.jpg]](https://alexis.lindaikejisblog.com/photos/shares/5e82e191eb076.jpg)
A Florida Pastor, Pastor Rodney Howard-Browne has been arrested by the police for holding fully-packed church services despite a stay-at-home order in the state.
Prior to his arrest, the evangelical pastor had insisted that he wouldn't close the doors of his Tampa Bay megachurch until the End Times begin. He also encouraged those in attendance at his River at Tampa Bay Church to shake hands, to show they were not afraid of contracting the coronavirus. A video from the church service on Sunday March 29, showed dozens of people packed inside the church and standing shoulder-to-shoulder.
![[Image: 5e82e16e8e2f9.jpg]](https://alexis.lindaikejisblog.com/photos/shares/5e82e16e8e2f9.jpg)
Pastor Rodney Howard-Browne was arrested on Monday March 30 on misdemeanor charges of unlawful assembly and violation of public health rules after defying social distancing orders at The River at Tampa Bay church.
Hillsborough County Sheriff Chad Chronister said at a press conference;
Quote:“I made a decision to seek an arrest warrant for the pastor of a local church who intentionally and repeatedly chose to disregard the orders set in place by our president, the governor, the CDC and the Hillsborough County Emergency Policy Group. His reckless disregard for human life put hundreds of people in his congregation at risk and thousands of residents who may interact with them this week in danger."
![[Image: 5e82e14f4c455.jpg]](https://alexis.lindaikejisblog.com/photos/shares/5e82e14f4c455.jpg)
The church has claimed on its website that the restrictions are a violation of the First Amendment, and in a March 18 post on Facebook, the church said it was providing an “essential service” that made it exempt from the social distancing orders.
Authorities said the sheriff’s office spoke to attorneys for the church to explain they were in violation of government orders, and officers attempted to meet in person with the pastor but he refused.
Howard-Brown turned himself in to a neighboring sheriff’s office and was booked and released within 40 minutes.
Florida has more than 5,200 confirmed coronavirus cases and at least 63 deaths, according to the state's health department.

![[Image: 5e833993c45af.PNG]](https://alexis.lindaikejisblog.com/photos/shares/5e833993c45af.PNG)
Former Republic of Congo president, Jacques Joaquim Yhombi Opango has passed away after contracting coronavirus (COVID-19). He was 81
Yhombi-Opango died in a Paris hospital on Monday, his family confirmed to AFP.

In 1987, he was jailed for three years after he was accused of participating in a plot to overthrow Sassou Nguesso.
After his release from prison, he founded the Rally for Democracy and Development (RDD) party but lost in a 1992 presidential election.
In 1994, Yhombi-Opango became the prime minister but fled into exile in France when the civil war broke out in Congo in 1997.

Coronavirus Testing kits heading to the UK contaminated with the disease
![[Image: 5e832138de72e.jpg]](https://alexis.lindaikejisblog.com/photos/shares/5e832138de72e.jpg)
Coronavirus testing kits that are due to arrive in the UK have been contaminated with the novel disease.
The news comes after Health Secretary Matt Hancock, who has now been infected with the disease said 3.5 million antibody tests have been ordered to enable health officials to carry out 11,000 tests a day.
According to the Daily Telegraph, it has been discovered that key components ordered from Eurofins, a company based in Luxembourg, had been contaminated with COVID-19.
The report claims that Eurofins has warned laboratories in the UK that delivery of parts referred to as ‘probes and primers’ had been contaminated.
The fo said that the issue can be resolved by ‘proper cleaning’ but admitted the discovery would result in a delay.
A spokesperson for Eurofins told the Telegraph: ‘In rare occasions, delays in some orders may occur if based on Eurofins Genomics stringent quality and environmental control procedures, manufacturing of a product may not meet the quality or purity criteria set by Eurofins Genomics.
‘We are aware that contaminations of the nature you mentioned have been observed by several primers and probes manufacturers around the world after they produced SARS-COV2 positive controls.
‘Those initial problems can be easily resolved by proper cleaning and production segregation procedures.’

RE: Coronavirus: Nurses step over dead bodies piled up on hospital floor - Edoman - 04-01-2020
Quote:Coronavirus: 381 Die In UK In 24 Hours
DEADLY RISE UK coronavirus death rate DOUBLES as 381 including teen, 19, with no health problems die in 24hrs
THE UK coronavirus death rate doubled today as 381 people including a teen with no underlying health conditions died in 24 hours.
Britain's positive Covid-19 cases have also jumped - with 25,150 infected people - up 2,706 from yesterday.
The latest figures from the Department of Health reveal 381 people have died in 24 hours after a rise of 180 deaths in the same time period yesterday.
In England, the NHS today confirmed the death rate had also more than doubled from 159 yesterday to 367 today in the biggest 24-hour leap so far.
The latest victims were aged between 19 and 98 - with 28 having no previous medical conditions - bringing the total death toll in the country to 1,651.
The 19-year-old is the youngest coronavirus victim in the UK with no underlying health conditions.
Last week, the heartbroken family of a "very healthy" 19-year-old Italian chef living in London revealed he had died from suspected coronavirus.
Luca Di Nicola from Enfield, North London, was told by medics he had "nothing to worry about" after falling ill, La Repubblica newspaper reported.
The teen passed away on March 24 a day after being rushed to hospital with collapsed lungs.
North Middlesex University Hospital NHS Trust confirmed today a 19-year-old man had died after testing positive for the disease following his death.
Public Health Wales confirmed there have been seven further deaths - bringing their total to 69.
While in Northern Ireland, six more people have died, with their total deaths now at 28.
Today's figures only include those who have died in hospital after testing positive for the disease, so the true death toll is actually higher.
From the start of the crisis until March 20, at least 40 more people died from coronavirus in England and Wales than previously thought after hidden deaths at home were revealed for the first time.
New figures revealed 210 people died in England and Wales from the killer bug during that time period - 23 per cent more than official NHS numbers have shown.
NHS England and Public Health Wales had recorded 170 people died in hospital up to that date.
Once the Office of National Statistics work out the numbers since March 20, the most recent numbers will raise again.
Yesterday, the Department of Health reported 1,408 Covid-19 deaths in the UK - a rise of 180 from the previous day.
It marked the first time the daily increase in deaths has fallen for two consecutive days - suggesting drastic lockdown measures may be working.
At least four of those who died had no pre-existing medical conditions, the Department of Health said.
London remains the highest coronavirus hotspot with 122 of today's deaths in England happening in the capital.
But startling new figures revealed today how Sheffield and Slough are close behind.
Sheffield has recorded 59 cases per 100,000 people - just behind the 64 cases per 100,000 in the capital.
Meanwhile Slough, Berkshire, has recorded 49 cases per 100,000.
It is unclear exactly why Slough and Sheffield have been so badly hit by the virus.

Andrew Jack, the British actor and dialect coach who garnered huge popularity after starring in ‘Star Wars: Episode VIII – The Last Jedi’ as General Ematt, has died at the age of 76 after contracting Coronavirus.
Jack's agent, Jill McCullough said he died in a hospital in Surrey on Tuesday March 31 following complications from Coronavirus.
He said;
Quote:“Andrew lived on one of the oldest working houseboats on the Thames, he was fiercely independent but madly in love with his wife, also a dialect coach."
McCullough said the actor was unable to see his wife in his final days because she was quarantined in Australia.
Wife of the Star Wars actor, Gabrielle Rogers revealed that her husband died two days after he was diagnosed with the novel disease.
She tweeted;
Quote:“We lost a man today. Andrew Jack was diagnosed with Coronavirus 2 days ago. He was in no pain, and he slipped away peacefully knowing that his family were all ‘with’ him. Take care out there, lovers."

Italian Nurse Strangled His Doctor Girlfriend For Infecting Him With Covid-19
A nurse strangled his doctor girlfriend before telling police officers that he unleashed the attack because she gave him Covid-19, prosecutors say.
Lorena Quaranta, 27, was found dead after her boyfriend Antonio De Pace allegedly called them to say he had killed her.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8178507/Italian-nurse-strangled-doctor-girlfriend-death-saying-gave-coronavirus.html
He called the police and informed them that he had murdered his partner, according to reports in Italy.
'I killed her because she gave me coronavirus.'
Early indications from testing carried out last night suggest that neither he nor his late girlfriend had the virus.
Lorena had posted just days before her tragic death about 41 Italian doctors dying during the pandemic.
Linking to a news report on the deaths that have hit Italy due to a lack of Personal Protective Equipment, she branded the situation 'unacceptable'.
'Now more than ever we need to demonstrate responsibility and love for life. You must show respect for yourselves, your families and the country,' she wrote.
'You must think and remember those that dedicate their lives daily to looking after our sick.

Chinese city bans eating of dogs, snakes, frogs and cats in the wake of Coronavirus pandemic
![[Image: 5e858c63ecfda.jpg]](https://alexis.lindaikejisblog.com/photos/shares/5e858c63ecfda.jpg)
A city in China has been forced to ban its residents from eating dog, snake, frog, turtle and cat meat in the wake of the Coronavirus pandemic.
The legislation was yesterday passed by lawmakers in Shenzhen, a city of around 13 million people, and will take effect on May 1, according to a government notice.
The news comes after China banned all trade and consumption of wild animals, a practice, which scientists believe is responsible for the deadly virus infecting and killing people globally.
The officials described the new regulation as the 'universal civilisation requirement for a modern society' and said the aim is to 'further satisfy the daily needs of the people'.
According to the document, nine types of livestock are suitable for people to eat. They are pigs, cows, sheep, donkeys, rabbits, chickens, ducks, geese and pigeons.
Residents are also allowed to dine on aquatic animals permitted by law.
Before the law was passed, one spokesperson said the authority wanted to make it easier for people to know what can be eaten.
'There are so many animal species in nature. In our country alone, there are more than 2,000 kinds of protected wild animal species.
'If the local authority is to produce a list of the wild animals that cannot be eaten, it will be too lengthy and cannot answer the question exactly what animals can be eaten,' the official said.
In China, coronavirus has claimed 3,312 lives and infected more than 81,500 people since the outbreak started in Wuhan.

73 hospital workers test positive for Coronavirus as 318 others self-isolate in London
![[Image: 5e85e4e3020b1.webp]](https://alexis.lindaikejisblog.com/photos/shares/5e85e4e3020b1.webp)
Seventy-three NHS workers at the Great Ormond Street Hospital in London have tested positive for Coronavirus while 318 others have been forced to self-isolate.
Ex-WHO director Anthony Costello confirmed the news on Twitter, saying he had received an email informing him of the outbreak
He said 73 out of 181 staff from Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) had tested positive.
'I received this circular to all staff from Great Ormond St hospital today. 73 out of 181 staff have tested positive and 318 staff members off sick.'
An informant tells me "social distancing in the hospital is a fiction. Whatever the inadequacies of PPE for patient contact my concern is about the use of masks in non-clinical hospital areas. Many team members do handovers in a small office space without the use of masks.”
