Confirmed coronavirus cases increase by 42% in


Africa in last week
The number of confirmed coronavirus cases in Africa has shot up 42 per cent in the week ending
Tuesday, the Africa Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says.
 
The number of cases is expected to surpass 50,000 later Wednesday, and the number of deaths
could top 2,000. All but one of Africa's 54 countries, tiny Lesotho, has reported virus cases. The
World Health Organization has warned that Africa could become the next epicenter of the pandemic.
Severe shortages of testing kits mean the number of actual cases across the continent is unknown.
 
In Somalia, aid groups are warning that the number of virus cases is far higher than the 835
reported. The country has one of the world's weakest health systems. Twelve African nations now
have more than 1,000 confirmed cases.

Home delivery of liquor in Punjab from tomorrow


Home delivery of liquor will start from May 7 in Punjab with the state excise and taxation
department issuing an order for opening of liquor vends on Wednesday.
 
The liquor stores would be allowed to open only during the curfew relaxation period, which is from 9
am to 1 pm, officials said. However, the timing of delivery of liquor will be decided by the respective
assistant excise and taxation commissioners in consultation with deputy commissioners, the order
stated.
 
Though there is no provision of home delivery of liquor in the Punjab Excise Act 1914 and the Excise
Rules, the decision in this regard has been taken to ensure social distancing in the wake of the
COVID-19 pandemic, it said. The delivery of liquor at people's doorsteps will be allowed only during
the lockdown period, the order said.

Coronavirus LIVE: Russia reports 10,500 new Covid-


19 cases
Russia has reported more than 10,500 new coronavirus cases on Wednesday, bringing the
national total over 165,000, including about 1,500 deaths.
 
The country's health officials have been reporting more than 10,000 new cases for the fourth day in
a row. The caseload is likely to be much higher as not everyone is being tested, and many people
infected with the virus don't show any symptoms.
 
Russia has been in lockdown since late March, with the vast majority of regions requiring residents
to stay at home and suspending operation of most businesses. Last week, Russian President
Vladimir Putin extended the lockdown till May 11.

Maharashtra in two days

said on Wednesday.
 
The total number of coronavirus cases that have come to light in the state so far is 15,525, he said in
a statement. "But we have discharged 2,819 patients after recovery till today. The discharged people
have to spend 14 days in mandatory home quarantine from the date of discharge," he said.
 
"The state on Monday and Tuesday discharged 350 and 354 people, respectively, after recovery
from COVID-19. This (Tuesday's figure) is the highest number of discharged people in a single day
in the state so far," Tope said.

About 140 lives lost in 600 road accidents during
lockdown: Report
About 140 lives lost in over 600 road accidents over the course of the two phases of the nationwide
lockdown between March 24 and May 3, according to a report by SaveLIFE Foundation.
 
Of this count, 30 per cent of the victims were migrant workers returning to their homes, said the
report by the non-profit organisation, which works towards curbing road accidents in the country.
 
The report said over-speeding on empty roads has emerged as one of the most common reasons for
deaths across states. India accounts for one of the highest road crashes fatalities across the globe
with annual 5 lakh accidents in which 1.5 lakh people are killed.
