Nurses and non-medical people were prevented from responding patients’ calls to the NHS coronavirus triage hotline due to protection concerns, The Independent reported.
An audit of triage phone service calls revealed that more than one part of the recommendation is potentially harmful to patients.

Also on Monday, he announced that another 100,000 people had registered for trials of the coronavirus vaccine in the UK.
See below how the occasions of the day unfolded.
100,000 vaccine trial records
More than 100,000 other people have volunteered for long-term trials of coronavirus vaccines in the UK, writes Zoe Tidman.
Researchers suggested that others continue to register, especially if they are over 65 years of age or of black, Asian or minority descent.
The UK government has said its goal is to get as many other people as possible to register in studies of the NHS Covid-19 vaccine through October, so that large-scale vaccine trials can begin.
Italy takes strong action after new infection
Italy will close nightclubs and make mask mandatory in some spaces after a build-up of coronavirus cases across the country, Conrad Duncan writes.
The re-reposition of restrictions came after knowledge showed that last week’s new cases were more than double those recorded three weeks ago, with an average age of others who contracted Covid-19 below age 40.
The restrictions will take effect on Monday, two days after the Ferrapasssto holiday, which sees young Italians pass to nightclubs, and will continue until early September.
South Koreans obstruct verification effort
South Korea has tightened social estrangement regulations following an epidemic in a Christian church, whose members also appear to be spreading false data on the government’s response.
The photos included one related to the Sarang Jeil church in Seoul, where more than three hundred members of the congregation were infected, but many more resist the efforts of fitness personnel to control them.
The government is reluctant to cooperate and has difficulty following some of the members of the congregation of the Presbyterian church, as in daegu’s case in February related to a secret Christian sect prior to this year.
The church is led by conservative activist Jun Kwang-hoon, who has also organized anti-government demonstrations calling for the resignation of President Moon Jae-in, raising considerations about the spread of protests about the virus.
Kim Gang-lip, Seoul’s deputy fitness minister, said Sarang Jeil had provided erroneous lists of his members. While 312 of them had tested positive, more than 700 people had not yet been found and the government sought to isolate.
“We are very concerned,” Kim said in a briefing, ignoring rumors that the government would sign a church member’s check as positive, regardless of the truth.
“It’s impossible. We fabrication the results of the verification,” he said.
South Koreans have been suggested to stay home. Residents of Seoul and neighboring Gyeonggi Province avoid visiting other parts of the country for two weeks, the government said.
Greater Manchester police impose fines for meetings
Greater Manchester police fined three other people last night after breaking house parties and other demonstrations, police said Monday.
Officials were called to a wedding at the Whalley Range where, they said, there were more than 50 people. The wedding planner was fined.
In England, up to 30 others can attend weddings.
Deputy Police Deputy Chief Ian Pilling said: “After the giant demonstrations on Friday and Saturday nights, we had to attend occasions last night.
“We have been very open to the public about the tension of these calls about already exaggerated and limited resources and I want other people to perceive what is at stake here.
“Can you believe that a vulnerable person who enjoys can’t access 999 in an emergency, because our phone lines are connected to other people who report illegal parties? It’s so bad.
“These heinous violations continue and we owe it to our communities to investigate these kinds of reports very well and prosecute those involved.
“We sense that the vast majority of other people in Greater Manchester are doing the right thing and it’s incredibly disappointing that these other people are continually abandoned through a small majority.”
New South Wales Premier apologizes for cruise failure
The prime minister of New South Wales has apologized for failing to prevent others carrying covid-19 from leaving a cruise in Sydney in March.
Comes the one that was, at the time, Australia’s worst epidemic.
Gladys Berejiklian’s apology for her government’s mismanagement of the outbreak aboard the Ruby Princess came when the number of deaths from a wave of infection in Victoria reached a record 25.
Australia reported 23,500 cases of Covid-19 and 421 deaths, far fewer than many other evolved countries, but missteps in the control of the Ruby Princess and also with quarantine at Victoria hotels proved costly.
“Classes weren’t learned early enough and I apologize once back unreservedly on behalf of all the Americans and agencies who made those mistakes,” Berejiklian told reporters in Sydney once unreservedly back on behalf of all the Americans and agencies who made those mistakes,” Berejiklian told reporters in Sydney once.
New Zealand delays elections

Cruise sends returns to the Mediterranean
Cruise passengers were checked the temperature and the Covid-19 was tested to launch what is advertised as the first cruise in the Mediterranean since the clash in Italy.
The MSC cruise line has incorporated procedures for equipment and passengers into its new fitness and protection protocols.
The GREAT MSC departed from the port of Genoa in northern Italy on Sunday night for a seven-night western Mediterranean cruise.
Anyone who tested positive, or had a fever or had other symptoms of Covid-19 denied boarding, the company said.
Guests are required to wear a mask in the lifts and other spaces where social distance is not possible.
The team spent time in quarantine before the start of the cruiser.
Clear ferry in front of quarantine changes
British ferry corporations say they have been informed of a government ruling that travellers to the UK lose their quarantine exemption if they return from France or the Netherlands, simon Calder writes.
Both countries were removed from the list of exempted countries on Saturday.
British tourists returning from countries such as Germany, Switzerland and Italy may have to isolate themselves for 14 days if they cross directly through a “high risk” country such as France, Belgium or the Netherlands.
The camp of the lake district forced to pass as ‘idiots’
A Lake District camp said he was forced to close for several weeks after campers left piles of trash.
The owners of Stonethwaite Campground in Keswick said in a Facebook post that they had to get rid of “tents, kiosks, air mattresses, chairs and even a mop” at a very high price for them.
They wrote: “Dumb campers – Please take a look at yourself and be informed to respect your camping mates. Playing music until four in the morning when you oppose the regulations of our camp And you have already been told to turn it off is not acceptable.” .
“Groups are limited to a maximum of six or two families through the government, so avoid appearing on 10-degree teams.”
The lakes were a selection destination for others who broke blocking regulations before this year and officials and environmentalists noticed from the outset a lack of respect for the environment.
The owners of Stonethwaite added: “We are sorry we made this decision, but I hope you understand. The site has been busier than ever and while it was smart to see them again, we’re sure everyone enjoys it more when it’s normal. has resumed and is returning the peaceful and peaceful atmosphere of our camp.
“Until then, be careful, be kind and we’ll see you when the blockade frenzy is over.”
Lebanon orders a two-week closure
Lebanon will have to close its doors for two weeks after an outbreak of coronavirus infections, the country’s interim fitness minister said Monday.
“Today we point out a state of general alert and we want a courageous resolution to close [the country] for two weeks,” Hamad Hassan told Voice of Lebanon radio.
Lebanon recorded 439 new infections and six more deaths from the virus on Sunday.
The country, already deeply in currency crisis, grappling with a peak of Covid-19 before the August 4 explosion that killed at least 178 people, destroyed swathes of the capital and forced the government to resign.

Fury in Ireland for a video of a man pouring drinks into people’s mouths
Ireland’s fitness minister has said a video of others taking drinks to their mouths in a Dublin bar would “make other people sick” as coronavirus cases in the country increase, Time Wyatt writes.
Stephen Donnelly reacting to a viral video taken Saturday at the Berlin D2 bar in Dublin, which showed dozens of revelers partying with loud music while a guy in a bar pours drinks straight into his mouths.
“The vast majority of Irish have sacrificed enormously to help this virus,” Donnelly said on Twitter.
Blair calls for massive evidence
Tony Blair has suggested to the government implement massive Covid-19 testing until the end of 2020.
The former prime minister told BBC Radio 4’s Today: “If 70% of cases are asymptomatic, it doesn’t check those people, they’re all false negatives right now.
“People who have contracted the disease but still don’t have symptoms can pass the disease on are a false negative.”
“Then, yes, it is true that other people will miss you … that’s where I think the government wants to replace the way it calculates risk.
“In each and every facet of this, once you realize that you’re not going to eliminate the disease, you’re going to have to involve it and live with it at least until a vaccine arrives, then you just have to have a delicate calculus threat in all areas.
“So, for example, now we’re telling other people to go back to pubs, we’re rightly encouraging, to move the economy, to eat out. All those things are risky.
“I think the way we apply quarantine regulations is incorrect. I think you can particularly reduce those 40 to 14 days if you recognize that, whatever you do, there will be a risk, you just have to minimize it.”
Have you led Iceland with evidence in the end?
Activists have demanded that the UK adopt Iceland’s double-test quarantine this week, writes Simon Calder.
Coronavirus cases in the subaric country are higher and are now 50% higher relative to the population than in the UK.
As a result, anyone arriving in Iceland from Wednesday will have to be quarantined for two weeks, or stick to a two-test procedure to shorten self-isolation.

Opinion: Youth violence may return once we return to ‘normality’
Compared to 2017, when “knife crime” headlines abounded, violence among young people does not seem as pressing in the public consciousness. And just as when Brexit dominated discourse, the dubious dynamics of a global fitness pandemic can overshadow and therefore exacerbate those pre-existing social problems, writes Franklyn Addo.
However, I know firsthand, by running in hospitals with survivors of violence and exploitation, that other young people are still suffering damage at an alarming rate. The media, despite their dread and sensationalism, fail to illustrate the magnitude or analyze the nuances of the problem.
Violence is known to cause around 300,000 emergency room visits in the UK each year, however, regardless of patient demographics or injury mechanisms, it is difficult to infer from such a grim truth: a number of worried children they provide on a daily basis. hospitals across the country with all kinds of acute and latent needs.
Independent Sage puts an end to PHE’s plan to eliminate
Sage’s independent specialized organization said it did not have the government’s plan to eliminate Public Health England.
Such “hasty and deep adjustments deserve not to have been developed without careful consideration,” the organization said on Twitter.
Dr Gabriel Scally of the University of Bristol said in the statement: “The government will need to be aware of the dangers of wearing down a primary organizational restructuring in the midst of this public aptitude crisis.
“Independent Sage is involved in the government’s organizational structures (such as NHS Test and Trace and the Joint Biosecurity Center) that have not been transparent, consistent, or obviously successful.
“Independent Sage agrees with the obvious lead in government and fears that this will further destroy the trust of public fitness staff.”
“The adjustments are of such magnitude and importance that they must be subject to scrutiny.”
The full and group recommendation can be found below.
The organization warned that making primary structural adjustments to a new well-developed “strategic plan” to counter Covid-19 would be “reckless in the extreme.”

Japan’s economy contracts at record speed
Japan’s economy fell at its fastest rate between April and June, and industry and customer spending fell dramatically in reaction to the coronavirus pandemic, writes Ben Chapman.
The world’s third-largest economy saw production falling by 7.8% this quarter, according to official knowledge published Monday. At an annualized rate, the decline was 27.8%, the worst recorded in Japan.

Northern Ireland will soon want local locks, experts say
Northern Ireland arrives at the time when local locks will be needed, warned its leading clinical adviser.
The region registered new instances of Covid-19 over the weekend.
Professor Ian Young said the increase in numbers is “very worrying” and represented a tenfold increase in infection rates in early summer.
He said two council spaces, Antrim, Newtownabbey and Mid-East Antrim, were affected by the waves.
Professor Young told BBC Radio Ulster: “I think we are approaching the point, in spaces where the number of instances is high, where we may have to look at whether more local measures are needed.”
“I don’t think we’re at the point where we’re in the measures in Northern Ireland because there are still many parts of Northern Ireland where, due to public behavior and other factors, the point of the virus remains at a low point.”
The expert advisor stated that a “one-size-before-all approach” would be appropriate for the new restrictions.
“We’re seeing Covid’s fatigue and this leads to complacency,” he added.
