Italy records lowest death rate ... "World Health" warns against lifting restrictions and harsh criticism of Trump over Corona

The US authorities took the initiative to impose a state of emergency in the 50 states in an unprecedented measure in the history of the United States to confront the spread of Corona, amid harsh criticism of President Donald Trump's handling of the crisis, while the World Health Organization warned against abandoning quarantine, while Italy recorded the lowest mortality rate .

The New York Times said that several warnings issued to the Trump administration since the beginning of January call for the necessity of taking strict measures that could have mitigated the consequences of the virus, but that Trump's response was characterized by slow and delaying.

And there have been strong calls from the chief medical advisor of the Veterans Association to the highest health officials in the country, of the need to prepare for strict measures.

The Office of the National Security Council, responsible for tracking epidemics, also received intelligence warnings expecting the virus to spread within weeks, offering options for staying at home and stopping work.

Trump also received warnings from his adviser, Peter Navarro, identifying possible details of the virus's possible loss of life, which could amount to half a million deaths, and economic losses of trillions of dollars.

Trump was also warned by Health Minister Alex Azar, and in the third week of February, senior administration health advisers concluded that they should ask Trump for a new approach that includes warning Americans about the dangers of the virus and recommending social divergence and home commitment.

But weeks passed before the White House made these recommendations, a time that was sufficient for the virus to accelerate its spread and claim the lives of thousands.

In the United States, deaths exceeded the 20,000 mark, and 530,000 injuries, leaving the country most affected by the pandemic.

However, Trump was quick to pledge to the Americans to contain the current crisis, saying, "We will win this battle against the Corona pandemic." "The United States faces unique challenges caused by the new virus," he acknowledged in a message to the people on Easter Sunday posted on the White House website.

The resignation of the Turkish Interior Minister
In Turkey, Turkish Interior Minister Suleiman Soylu also announced his resignation from his post after criticism of the way the curfew was implemented two days ago to counter the outbreak of the Coruna virus.

Turkey announced late Friday, a two-day closure during the weekend, but during the brief time that was already in effect, many people rushed to buy food and drink in Istanbul, the country’s commercial center of 16 million people, as well as in other cities.

"Although it occurred in a limited period of time, the incidents that occurred prior to the enforcement of the curfew are not what is appropriate for the optimal management of the outbreak," said Sweilo in a statement on Twitter. He added that the decision to close was issued in good faith and aimed at slowing the spread of the virus.

The Minister of Transport, Muhammed Jahid Turhan, was sacked two weeks ago after the ministry was criticized for announcing a tender process, amid an epidemic, to prepare for the construction of a huge canal on the outskirts of Istanbul.

Warning
For its part, the World Health Organization warned countries around the world to lift restrictions imposed to curb the spread of the Corona virus, stressing that ending quarantine may lead to a "deadly" return to the virus.

For the first time in about a month, Italy announced the lowest daily death toll of 430 deaths. The number of deaths has not decreased since last March, from an average of 500 cases.

The number of coronavirus infections worldwide has increased to more than one million eight hundred thousand. While more than 110,000 died, about 400,000 recovered.

In France, the General Health Department said on Sunday that the new Corona virus "continues to circulate actively" and has resulted in the death of 14,393 people in the country, after recording an additional 315 deaths in hospitals within 24 hours.

In Jordan, the government decided on Sunday to extend the disruption in the work of ministries, official departments, institutions and public bodies until the end of April as part of its efforts to contain the emerging Corona virus.

"The Prime Minister (Omar Razzaz) issued today (Sunday) a declaration of the continuation of the disruption of the ministries, official departments and public bodies, until the evening of Thursday, which falls on the thirtieth of April this ".

Al-Adayleh, who is also the official spokesman for the government, explained that "the decision to suspend vital sectors and government whose nature of its work requires the continuation of work that is determined by the concerned minister is excluded from the decision."
