Israel's health Minister and wife test positive for Coronavirus

Israel's health minister, Yaakov Litzman and his wife Chava have both tested positive for Coronavirus.
The country's Health Ministry which confirmed the development in a statement released on Thursday April 2, said Litzman and Chava have been in isolation after feeling unwell. The statement further revealed that those who have been in contact with the health minister and his wife in the past two weeks, would be notified and ordered into self-quarantine.
It was further gathered that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been made aware of the diagnosis, and it is expected that Litzman "will continue to maintain a regular agenda from his home, in line with medical recommendations."
Before testing positive for the virus, the Minister held meetings alongside Netanyahu and other top officials in the government and health sector. The Prime Minister re-entered quarantine again after emerging from a previous one he got into after his adviser, Rivka Paluch tested positive.
Litzman who is also a member of the ultra-Orthodox United Torah Judaism, has been frequently criticized for his handling of the virus outbreak in Israel. He was accused of pushing to delay stringent restrictions on public gatherings that would have affected observance of the Purim festival last month, and fought bitterly against last week’s closing of synagogues.
Israel has 6,211 confirmed cases of the coronavirus and 33 deaths from the disease.

Nigerian man diagnosed with Coronavirus in the UK, shares his near-death experience as he recuperates
![[Image: 5e88525a90499.jpg]](https://alexis.lindaikejisblog.com/photos/shares/5e88525a90499.jpg)
A Nigerian man, Aghawarianovwe Ikie, who has been diagnosed with Coronavirus, in the UK, has taken to Facebook to shares his near-death experience.
In his post, Ikie recounted how he initially thought he had a flu but when the symptoms persisted, he was examined by the health workers and tested positive for COVID-19.
Read his post below
Quote:
Here I was in my isolation bedroom at home, NOT at the hospital. But here I am to worship, Here I am to bow down,
Here I am to say that you're my God, You're altogether lovely, Altogether worthy, Altogether wonderful to me...
COVID-19: My Testimony:
I was in the valley of the shadow of death. But I abide in the secret place of the Most High & rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I say of the Lord, you are my Refuge, my Fortress, in you alone I trust.
I have been sick since on or about 12 March 2020. I initially mistook my condition for Flu. It was much later that it dawned on us that I was battling with Coronavirus. I was totalling broken down with 100% loss of appetite, cough, shortness of breath, extreme fever and sudden extreme cold.
My saving grace lied in the fact that I still managed to breathe unaided. So, when the ambulance eventually came to take me to the Covid-19 Hospital facility, I declined because I was worried that I might catch a more deadly strain of the virus in such an environment. Besides, the benefit of ventilator, I didn’t see any chance of hospital staff forcing me to eat as would my wife & children.
They literally forced fed me. The Paramedics carried out ECG Test on me & were happy with the results. They remarked that they were confident that I had Coronavirus & that members of my household unit were already all infected despite not having been formally tested. As at this point, you only get tested upon admission at the hospital. The nights were terrible; I sweated a river. On a particular day, I alerted my cousin, Olorogun Kenneth Okpara, about my predicament. He advised that I should read Psalm 91 in the mornings and in the evenings.
Shortly, thereafter (25 minutes precisely) he sent me a message that as he prayed for me, the Holy Spirit lifted a “dark cloud” from me & my house & replaced it with a white cloud. Some time passed and another brother, Mudiaga Dennis Ofuoku, advised that I should read Psalm 91 three times daily. I just smiled to myself. I can confirm that members of my family unit are fully recovered.
To the glory of God, I am also now almost fully recovered. My appetite is 100% back & the fever is gone. I lost no less than 7 kilograms in the short period. Please I do not want to receive phone calls as I presently require a lot of rest. God has been most merciful to me. I fall within the vulnerable group. I saw death, but prevailed, to His glory. Join me in expressing my gratitude to the Almighty.''

China To Donate 1,000 Ventilators To Help New York In Coronavirus Fight
The Chinese government has facilitated a donation of 1,000 ventilators to New York, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said on Saturday.
“This is a big deal and it’s going to make a significant difference for us,” Cuomo said during a press briefing.
Cuomo also said New York was conducting business with Chinese companies and cited China as a repository of essential medical equipment. He thanked Jack Ma and Joe Tsai, founders of the Chinese e-commerce juggernaut Alibaba, as well as Huang Ping, the Chinese Consul General in New York.
Cuomo also said the state had put in an order for 17,000 ventilators but that the order went unfilled, likely due to intense competition for the machines and global shortages. The US national stockpile has roughly 10,000 ventilators.

![[Image: 5e8a621c2c086.jpg]](https://alexis.lindaikejisblog.com/photos/shares/5e8a621c2c086.jpg)
A 4-year-old Malayan tiger at a Bronx Zoo in New York City has tested positive for COVID-19, in what is believed to be the first known infection in an animal in the U.S. or the first tiger anywhere in the World.
The announcement was made on by the federal officials and the zoo after a test was conducted in Iowa by the USDA's National Veterinary Services Laboratory.
The tiger, Nadia, was exposed by a zoo worker who wasn't yet showing symptoms, the zoo said. The zoo says "appropriate preventative measures" have been implemented to care for the cats and minimize further exposure.''
According to the Wildlife Conservation Society, six other large cats and three African lions are also showing Coronavirus symptoms, but they are all expected to recover.
"Though they have experienced some decrease in appetite, the cats at the Bronx Zoo are otherwise doing well under veterinary care and are bright, alert, and interactive with their keepers," the zoo's release said.

COVID-19: Former Libyan Prime Minister Mahmoud Jibril dies of Coronavirus
![[Image: 5e8b312f03538.jpg]](https://alexis.lindaikejisblog.com/photos/shares/5e8b312f03538.jpg)
Former Libyan Prime Minister, Mahmoud Jibril has died at the age of 67 after contracting Coronavirus.
His National Forces Alliance (NFA) announced in a statement on Sunday, that he died in Cairo, Egypt, where he had been hospitalised for two weeks.
The UN Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) said Jibril died after a “battle with the coronavirus disease.”
“Dr. Jibril was particularly dedicated to building civil society and promoting the inclusion of women and young Libyans in politics. Dr. Jibril was a friend and mentor to many and participated most recently in the UN-facilitated Political Dialogue Forum. He will be greatly missed,” Acting Special Representative of the Secretary-General and head of UNSMIL Stephanie Williams said in a statement Sunday.
On March 27, the NFA announced that Jibril tested positive for COVID-19, adding that he was in “stable health on the course to recovery.”

The United States Government has notified its citizens seeking to be evacuated from Nigeria, of the current state of the American health care system.
In a statement released on Sunday April 5, the United States Embassy in Nigeria stated that hospitals are overwhelmed in the country.
Asides announcing that US citizens must fund their trip back to the country, the Embassy further disclosed that medical care is no longer covered by insurance because the healthcare system is overwhelmed.
The statement reads;
Quote:“Passengers must sign a promissory note and repay the full cost of their seat(s).
“U.S. Embassy Abuja and U.S. Consulate General Lagos would like potential evacuees to bear in mind the following considerations in determining if an evacuation flight is in the best interest of you and your family,” the statement read.
“This is a self-funded, one way flight to a single destination in the United States. All passengers must sign a promissory note and repay the full cost of their seat(s).
“In addition, travelers are responsible for organizing and funding any travel to their final destination in the United States, all living expenses while in the United States, and any return travel to Nigeria. Evacuation flights can range between $1,300 and $2,400 per person.
“Healthcare systems in many localities in the United States are currently overwhelmed. If you need to seek medical care while in the United States, you will be responsible for all costs not covered by your insurance.
“Many hotels in the United States have closed or are closing. If you plan to evacuate to the United States, please ensure you secure accommodations BEFORE you travel.
“At this time, Nigerian airports are closed to all commercial international flights. If you evacuate to the United States, it is unlikely you will be able to return to Nigeria until the Nigerian government reopens the airports and commercial flights resume.”

UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has been moved to the intensive care unit after his coronavirus symptoms worsened.
A Downing Street spokesman said he was moved on the advice of his medical team and has asked Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab who is the First Secretary of State, to deputise for him where necessary.
A statement read: “Since Sunday evening, the Prime Minister has been under the care of doctors at St Thomas’ Hospital, in London, after being admitted with persistent symptoms of coronavirus,” a spokesman for No. 10 Downing Street said in a statement.
“Over the course of this afternoon, the condition of the Prime Minister has worsened and, on the advice of his medical team, he has been moved to the Intensive Care Unit at the hospital,” the spokesman said.
“The PM has asked Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab, who is the First Secretary of State, to deputise for him where necessary,” the spokesman added. “The PM is receiving excellent care, and thanks all NHS staff for their hard work and dedication.”
Mr. Johnson, 55, was taken to hospital last night for routine tests after testing positive for coronavirus ten days ago. His symptoms included a high temperature and a cough.
Earlier on Monday, he tweeted that he was in "good spirits" and was keeping in touch with his team.
'Last night, on the advice of my doctor, I went into hospital for some routine tests as I’m still experiencing coronavirus symptoms. I’m in good spirits and keeping in touch with my team, as we work together to fight this virus and keep everyone safe.'

51 recovered Coronavirus patients in S.Korea test positive again as Korean scientists believe the virus may be able to hide in human cells and reactivate

South Korean Health chiefs believe that Coronavirus may lay dormant in cells in the human body and reactivate later after it has been cured after Fifty-one recovered coronavirus patients in South Korea tested positive again days after being released.
The patients - from the country's worst-hit city, Daegu - were put in quarantine after being diagnosed with the virus, then tested positive again days being released.

According to Korea’s Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (KCDC), patients - from the country's worst-hit city, Daegu - were put in quarantine and the virus was likely ‘reactivated’, rather than patients becoming re-infected.
According to the KCDC, for unknown reasons the viral particles can be reactivated after the patients has been cured- but US Viral experts say there is no evidence to prove that the virus acts in this way as monkeys have actually shown the opposite when studied.
Paul Hunter, an infectious diseases professor at the University of East Anglia, told MailOnline:
'I agree that these will not be reinfections but I do not think these will be reactivations.
'Personally I think the most likely explanation is that the clearance samples were false negative.'
Professor Mark Harris, Head of virology at University of Leeds, said to Daily Mail: 'The reports that patients who tested negative subsequently tested positive again is clearly of concern.
'It is unlikely that they would have been reinfected having cleared the virus, as they would most likely have mounted an immune response to the virus that would prevent such reinfection.
'The other possibility therefore is that they did not in fact clear the infection but remained persistently infected.'
'It does appear that swabs for the virus are not 100 per cent reliable,' Professor Hunter said.
Professor Rowland Kao, of the University of Edinburgh, said: 'It would seem unlikely that this is a common occurrence, and thus should have only a small impact on the overall epidemic projections themselves.'
