John Hopkins Toll Posts This Good News on Corona

Amid the momentum of Corona virus global news coverage, researchers and scientists at Johns Hopkins University have some good news over the issue. Now, the institution has prepared an online toll of cases and deaths, as well as those recovering from the virus, which China called "Covid-19".

So far, more than 57,000 people have recovered from the infection around the world, indicating that the virus is not lethal or deadly in nature.

But the rapid spread of the virus is what is already causing  panic in societies, and is pushing authorities around the world to take measures to contain its transmission.

In France, the authorities decided to close nurseries and educational institutions in the regions of Oise in the north and Ho-Ran in the east, for a period of 15 days.

In the Arab region, the Palestinian National Security Forces decided to raise the level of readiness and alertness to the highest degree, in all Palestinian regions, to limit the spread of the "Corona" virus, and decided to send the ninth special battalion to Bethlehem Governorate due to the increase in the number of infected cases in the governorate.

All mosques and churches in Bethlehem governorate were closed for 14 days, and all events, seminars, conferences and social and sports activities were stopped as well.

Meanwhile, in the United States, a spokeswoman for the US central bank said the banknotes (dollars) sent from Asia will remain quarantined 60 days, as a precautionary measure.

In Washington, too, two people were confirmed infected after participating in the pro-Israel AIPAC lobby conference in Washington, which was attended by US Vice President Mike Pence and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, along with dozens of members of Congress.

On the other hand, the US Navy's Sixth Fleet laid a self-enforced quarantine on its ships during the periods between its visits to European ports due to fears that its sailors might be infected with the Corona virus.

CNN quoted the fleet spokesman, saying that the ships will remain at sea for at least 14 days after visiting any port in Europe, in order to avoid the spread of coronavirus.
