But the LAS paramedic, in his 30s, said aprons distributed to him and his colleagues are "like something someone would make a sandwich with, someone serving you a sandwich". "It's the thinnest thing you can imagine and it covers maybe 30% of your uniform," he added. In one recent example, the paramedic said he was carrying a critically-unwell patient with suspected coronavirus from their home to his ambulance. "When wheeling them outside, the bottom half of the apron flew up and stuck to my face. One - I couldn't see where I was going. And two - all of the virus that was likely on my apron was now on my face. My crew mate had to pull it down," he said. He said he could not clean his face until he was at the hospital about half an hour later.
Officials across India are searching for hundreds of people who attended a religious event in capital Delhi that has set off several Covid-19 clusters.
At least six different regions have reported some 140 cases that can be directly or indirectly traced to the days-long congregation at a mosque in Delhi’s Nizamuddin area.
The congregation began at the end of February but continued for days, making it hard for officials to find out how many people attended overall or where they have travelled since
"Democracy cannot work without free and independent media."
She said emergency measures "must be limited to what is necessary and strictly proportionate - they must not last indefinitely".
"This word of warning from president Von der Leyen appears to be a thinly veiled criticism of the emergency measures taken by the Hungarian government to fight coronavirus," said BBC News Europe reporter Gavin Lee.
On Monday, the Hungarian Parliament agreed to give prime minister Viktor Orban the right to rule by decree, with no time limit placed on the new law.
I notice they have slipped in a new law allowing them to retain fingerprint and DNA data indefinitley.
It says smokers are more at risk from Covid-19 because they have weakened lung defences and more regular hand-to-mouth contact, giving more chances for picking up the virus. Many also have existing lung conditions caused by smoking.
According to Public Health Wales, hundreds of smokers have contacted the NHS Help Me Quit helpline since the outbreak began and in response more telephone support advisers have been drafted in.
Meanwhile, the website of the tobacco control campaign group ASH Wales has seen a 40% increase in visitors, mostly searching for online advice on how to quit.
Ashley Gould, a public health consultant at Public Health Wales, said: “Seven in 10 smokers in Wales say they would like to quit – there might never be a more important time than now to try harder than ever.
“We know that Covid-19 is mainly a respiratory disease and research on similar viruses shows tobacco smoke increases the risks of this type of infection, and how serious it can be.“
Suzanne Cass, the CEO of ASH Wales, said: “We know that giving up smoking can be incredibly tough but there really is no more important time to quit. The health benefits kick in within minutes of stubbing out that last cigarette and continue to grow with time.”
It isn’t clear if Protsenko had already contracted the disease when he met with Putin. The Kremlin has said that those who meet with Putin are screened for the disease in advance.

While there are detrimental effects from smoking, so do many activities in our lives have potentially life threatening effects, or make you more susceptible to this virus, such as obesity among others.
My fear with this, and the anti smoking push in general, is the continued erosion of our rights and personal choice to someone else's predefined version of the "correct" way to live.
The victim is a 48-year-old French-Mauritanian dual national who had been quarantined alongside 16 other French nationals. All had arrived in mid-March on one of the last flights before Mauritania banned international arrivals.
The woman’s case was unusual because she did not initially present symptoms, said N’Diaye Mamadou, an official in charge of the isolation centre in the capital Nouakchott.
She began to feel ill on Sunday evening, before her condition worsened on Monday morning. She then died en route to hospital on Monday, Mamadou said. She was diagnosed with coronavirus in a post-mortem examination.

That's what really scares me right now, with what we have caught them trying to do... What have we missed during all the chaos.
Well, those of us who have been here since page 1 know that there were several people trying to discuss that 5g could be somehow connected. They were all ridiculed and chased off like they were crazy.

Thats because blaming 5G for Coronavirus is ridiculous.
