ATLANTA – Jon Ossoff, Georgia’s Democratic Senate nominee, says he is estranged from his wife, who hired COVID-19.
The 33-year-old candidate stated that his wife, Dr. Alisha Kramer, had mild symptoms of coronavirus and also symptoms. He said he had been evaluated on Saturday and hoped for the effects through immobilization.
Ossoff’s director of cross-communications, Miryam Lipper, said on Twitter that he “has organized or engaged in a cross-examination occasion on the user for more than a month and will stay away until fitness professionals release him and his wife.”
Ossoff, a young media executive known for breaking fundraising records during a 2017 special election loss for a U.S. House seat, is in a competitive race against Republican U.S. Sen. David Perdue. The 70-year-old incumbent is a close ally of President Donald Trump and is seeking a second term in November.

HERE’S WHAT’S GOING ON:
HONOLULU – Hawaii is preparing for a threat to hit the islands as citizens struggle with an increasing number of coronavirus cases.
The pandemic was complicating preparations for the American Red Cross, which operates emergency shelters on behalf of local governments. Many volunteers who normally staff the shelters are older or have pre-existing health conditions. Many of these volunteers are thus staying home for this storm.
Also, each shelter will have less capacity because of the physical distancing requirements to prevent the spread of the disease.
Hawaii has some of the lowest coronavirus infection rates in the nation, but the numbers have been rising in recent weeks. On Friday, the state reported 60 new confirmed cases, a record high.

ROME – Not wearing a mask in the southern city of Salerno has been expensive.
Three other people from the port city of the Campania region were fined 1,000 euros ($1,150) on Saturday, Corriere della Sera reported.
The governor of Campania, Vincenzo De Luca, signed an ordinance on Friday that imposes fines of up to 1,000 euros for wearing a mask in closed public places. Similar fines were imposed on the tourist island of Ischia, in 3 cafés and in a restaurant, also in the Campania region.
Campania represented on Saturday 21 of the 275 new cases of virus in Italy, according to officials of the Ministry of Physical Conditioning. Five deaths have been reported in the country from another 60 million people since Friday, bringing the number of deaths shown in Italy to 35,102.

MONTEZUMA, N.M. – Federal immigration officials have revoked a directive that would have prevented foreign academics from attending schools in the United States, but possibly wouldn’t help United World College.
United World College is a global school formula that teaches a foreign bachelor’s degree program at 18 schools on five continents, adding 3 in the Western Hemisphere.
Most academics attending northern New Mexico school are still unable to enter the United States due to bans and their inability to download F-1 visas due to the closure of consulates around the world.
School officials say that about three-quarters of the 220 adolescent academics are from foreign countries.
Students can participate in online courses, but managers do not have Internet access.

NEW YORK – Gov. Andrew Cuomo said the number of other people hospitalized in New York with coronavirus has fallen to the lowest levels.
The Democratic governor said there were at least 646 other people hospitalized in the state on Friday, a new low since March 18 and less than the day before.
State statistics show that New York has more than 750 new cases. The number of reported deaths in the state increased from a Friday to 10. New York has a total of more than 32,000 deaths shown, according to a Johns Hopkins University count.
The actual number of cases is higher because many other people have not been evaluated and studies recommend that other people may be inflamed and do not feel sick.
New York, once a hot spot for the pandemic, has so far prevented an outbreak of new cases. Cuomo emphasized surveillance through mask and social estrangement to involve the virus.

BERLIN – A German cruise ship sailed for the first time since closing due to the coronavirus, with strict precautions for passengers and crew.
The tuI cruise sent “Mein Schiff 2” – “My Ship 2” – sailed for the North Sea cruise weekend on Friday night, dpa news agency reported.
The occupancy rate is limited to 60% so that passengers can stay at a distance. There were another 1,200 people on board compared to the overall vessel capacity of 2,900. The shipment sailed from the port of Hamburg to Norway, and passengers will spend the weekend at sea non-stop on land before returning to Germany on Monday.
Passengers and equipment must remain at 1.5 metres (5 feet) or wear a protective mask and will not use the boat’s buffet. All passengers completed a fitness questionnaire prior to boarding and underwent temperature checks.
After months of being closed, German cruise lines expect shorter, tighter assistance that restarts the business.

LONDON – England’s swimming pools and gymnasiums are reopening for the first time since the UK’s closure, as public fitness officials promote training in the opposite combat to COVID-19.
The government has announced a new attack on obesity as a component of this initiative, hoping that a better country can minimize the effect of the virus’s waves in the long run.
But Jane Nickerson, Executive Leader of Swim England, says there was monetary pressure on the pools even before the pandemic and that without government support, many could not open this year, or never.
She told the BBC that funding pools actually saves money because of the impact they have on social cohesion, crime prevention, education attainment and health benefits. Learning to swim is also a life skill.

PARIS – The coronavirus infection rate in France continues its alarming increase, and the fitness government claims that the heavily monitored “R” meter is now at 1.3, suggesting that other inflamed people contaminate an average of 1.3 more people.
The daily number of new instances is also increasing, up to 1130 on Friday. In his diary of the French epidemic that killed 30192 people, the fitness government warned that the country was withdrawing in its war and that the signs of infection were again similar to those noticed in May when France came out of its strict two-month blockade.
“This has erased much of the progress we’ve made in the first few weeks of easing the blockade,” fitness said.
They asked to return to “collective discipline,” calling others to the paintings of the house and to get tested if they have suspicions of infection.

South Africa accounts for more than one of all reported instances on the continent in 54 countries. But infections are now spreading in other countries, adding more than 16,000 people to Kenya, The Economic Center of East Africa.
Africa was a major fear even before the first case on the continent was reported on 14 February, with the World Health Organization a global fitness emergency in January posing the risk of fragile fitness systems.
Africa is the least supplied in the world, and fitness experts have warned that the virus can be “incubated” for a long time in parts of the continent. Africa now has 810,008 cases shown.

Additional infections increase India’s total to more than 1.3 million on Saturday, with outbreaks in a quarter of the EU’s 36 states and territories.
India has recorded 31,358 deaths, of which 757 have been recorded in the last 24 hours.

The All India Institute of Medical Sciences, a premier teaching hospital in the capital of New Delhi, says it has administered the first dose of a trial COVID-19 vaccine on Friday.
The candidate vaccine, Covaxin, is one of nearly two dozen human trials worldwide. AIIMS is one of 12 sites decided through the Indian Medical Research Council to conduct randomized clinical trials of placebo-controlled, double-phase and double-blind Covaxine.
Countries are making giant bets on various vaccine candidates, entering into purchasing agreements with pharmaceutical companies for delivery if and when regulators deem the doses safe and effective.
