He said the country was effectively “at war” as he announced a 15-day lockdown beginning on midday on Tuesday with 100,000 police to enforce restrictions on movement. "Movements will be very strongly reduced" for 15 days. “Never before in history has France had to take such exceptional measures in a time of peace,” Macron said. ”You will no longer be able to see your loved ones ... or continue your daily routine.” While the lockdown will affect about 67 million people, the President added that people will only be permitted to leave their homes only for essential duties and any violation of the edict would be punished. His Interior Minister Christophe Castaner later confirmed that anyone walking outside “for any reason” will have to download a form stating the reason for their trip. According to him, if they do not comply with this they could be fined up to £188. France has suffered 5,500 cases of coronavirus and 127 deaths, making it the seventh-worst affected country.

According to local reports, they were infected after an official failed to wipe a saltwater spray bottle they sprayed inside their mouths as they thought it would help prevent the spread of the coronavirus. Surveillance footage from the River of Grace Community Church in Gyeonggi Province, south of Seoul, shows a church official sticking the spray bottle deep into the mouth of one follower after another, during a prayer gathering attended by '100 followers' on March 1 and March 8. “It’s been confirmed that they put the nozzle of the spray bottle inside the mouth of a follower who was later confirmed as a patient, before they did likewise for other followers as well, without disinfecting the sprayer,” said Lee Hee-young, co-chief of the Gyeonggi Province COVID-19 Emergency Response team, “This made it inevitable for the virus to spread,” he said. “They did so out of the false belief that saltwater kills the virus.” The church has since been closed and all its believers who attended the prayer sessions are being tested. The church's pastor, identified as Kim, has apologized for the mass infection of his church members. 'I feel deeply sorry about what has happened. I will take all the blame and responsibility,' Kim told Yonhap News Agency, indicating his intention to retire after the ongoing crisis is over.

The department announced the decision in an internal memo obtained by Billy Penn and WHYY states. According to the memo, Philadelphia authorities will stop arresting for certain nonviolent crimes, including all narcotic offenses, retail theft, vandalism, burglary, and prostitution. Beginning from Tuesday, arrests for these offenses will instead be “effectuated via arrest warrant,” according to Outlaw’s memo. That means officers may detain and identify a suspect in order to gather evidence, but the alleged offender will then be released. Officers will then submit an arrest affidavit to the District Attorney's Charging Unit: "If the charges are approved the assigned detective will obtain an Arrest warrant," the memo reads. "The warrant will be served at a later time, as conditions dictate." "We are supportive of Commissioner Outlaw’s directive on making arrests during the Coronavirus crisis," John McNesby, president of Fraternal Order of Police Lodge #5, told Fox29. "The directive was released to keep officers safe during this public-health crisis. Meanwhile, violent offenders will be arrested and processed with the guidance of a police supervisor." b RE: Coronavirus: Nurses step over dead bodies piled up on hospital floor - Edoman - 03-18-2020 Don’t take Ibuprofen for coronavirus symptoms – WHO The World Health Organization has warned against taking Ibuprofen for symptoms of coronavirus which includes runny nose, sore throat, cough and fever. The warning came after French health officials warned that anti-inflammatory drugs could worsen effects of the virus. Commenting on a recent study in The Lancet medical journal, French Health Minister Olivier Veran said it was hypothesised that an enzyme boosted by anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen could facilitate and worsen COVID-19 infections. Veran stressed that coronavirus cases should take paracetamol instead, while those already being treated with anti-inflammatory drugs should ask advice from their doctor. When asked about the study, WHO spokesman Christian Lindmeier told reporters in Geneva the UN health agency’s experts were “looking into this to give further guidance.” He added; Quote:“In the meantime, we recommend using rather paracetamol, and do not use ibuprofen as a self-medication. That’s important. AFP reported that a spokesperson for British pharmaceutical company Reckitt Benckiser, which makes Nurofen, said in an email statement that the company was aware of concerns raised about “the use of steroids and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAIDs) products, including ibuprofen, for the alleviation of COVID-19 symptoms.” The statement added; Quote:“Consumer safety is our number one priority. Ibuprofen is a well-established medicine that has been used safely as a self-care fever and pain reducer, including in viral illnesses, for more than 30 years.

The move comes a day after a health ministry official revealed that the countries' death toll has jumped by 149 to 1,284 in 24 hours while the total number of infected people increased to 18,407. Deputy Health Minister Alireza Raisi said: 'With 149 new deaths in the past 24 hours, the death toll from the virus reaches 1,284. Unfortunately, we had 1,046 new cases of infection since yesterday.' On Tuesday, judiciary spokesman Gholamhossein Esmaili said Iran had temporarily freed about 85,000 people from jail, including political prisoners, in response to the coronavirus epidemic. Two days later, State TV quoted the judiciary spokesman as saying that another 10,000 prisoners would be granted amnesty under a decree by Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei to mark the Iranian new year on Friday. "Those who will be pardoned will not return to jail ... almost half of those security-related prisoners will be pardoned as well," judiciary spokesman Gholamhossein Esmaili told state TV on Wednesday. "A large number of prisoners who have been temporarily freed do not need to return to jail after the leader's pardon," Esmaili said. "The unprecedented point is that the pardon also includes the security-related prisoners with less than five-year jail sentences," Esmaili said.

Italian soldiers, some of them wearing face masks, gather next to some of their trucks in Bergamo yesterday where local crematorium staff have been handling 24 bodies a day. Italian soldiers speak to people at the entrance of the cemetery in Bergamo, where bodies have had to be moved out of the city because local undertakers and crematorium staff cannot cope. Hospital workers prepare coffins at a hospital in Bergamo on Tuesday, in the province of Lombardy which has been the worst-affected region of Italy. As developed as Italy, USA and many other countries are, they are still finding it difficult to contain the virus how much more under-developed Nigeria , and yet, the Nigerian govt was quiet to the plea of many Nigerians that all our borders should be closed until the virus is contained. It is when the virus has finally entered the country before the govt decided to listen to the plea of the people. May God continue to protect us from these sort of leaders we have in Nigeria. May their souls rest in peace.
