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 middle-of-the-year-old known for breaking fundraising records in a 2017 special election defeat by a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives, is in a competitive race against the U.S. Republican senator. The outgoing 70-year-old president is a close friend of President Donald Trump and seeks a 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 confuses arrangements by the American Red Cross, which administers emergency shelters on behalf of local governments. Many volunteers who take care of shelters are older or have pre-existing fitness problems. Many of these volunteers remain at home because of this storm.
In addition, the shelter will have less capacity due to physical distance needs to prevent the spread of the disease.
Hawaii has one of the lowest rates of coronavirus infection in the country, but the numbers increased in weeks. On Friday, the state reported a record 60 new cases shown.

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 fresh attack on obesity as part of the move, hoping that a fitter nation might be able to minimize the impact of future waves of the virus.
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 collective investment actually saves cash because it has an effect on social cohesion, crime prevention, schooling and fitness benefits. Learning to swim is also a life skill.

MULTAN, Pakistan – A Pakistani fitness officer said 14 Chinese engineers and experts tested positive for coronavirus while performing an electrical task in central Pakistan.
Rana Yousaf of Behawalpur Public Hospital said Saturday that the Chinese had been taken to hospital a day earlier amid increased security and that they were all in solid state.
It is the first time that authorities have confirmed infections among Chinese working in the country.
Currently, an unqualified number of Chinese are being implemented in parts of Pakistan in CPEC-related projects.
Progression came hours after Pakistan reported 24 new COVID-19 deaths in the past 24 hours, the fewest deaths from the country’s virus in more than a month.
Pakistan recorded 271,887 and 5,787 deaths.

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 appealed for a return to “collective discipline,” asking that people work from home and get tested if they have any suspicions of infection.

JOHANNESBURG – The total number of coronavirus patients in Africa exceeded 800,000.
According to the African Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
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.

NEW DELHI — India began its first human trials of a coronavirus vaccine candidate as the world’s second-most populous country recorded nearly 49,000 new cases.
The additional infections take India’s total to more than 1.3 million on Saturday, with surges seen in a quarter of the country’s 36 states and union territories.
India has tallied 31,358 deaths, including 757 in the last 24 hours. It has reported a much lower death rate than the world’s two other worst-hit countries, the United States and Brazil. Johns Hopkins University showed the U.S. has more than 4.1 million cases (144,000 deaths) and Brazil with 2.2 million cases (85,000 deaths).
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 among nearly two dozen in human trials around the world. AIIMS is among the 12 sites selected by the Indian Council for Medical Research for conducting the two-phase randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trials of Covaxin.
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.
