The global pandemic has caused a second crisis, a shadow pandemic threatening the lives of women & girls worldwide. @UNFPA analysis shows that for every 6 months of #COVID19 lockdowns, an additional 31 million cases of gender-based violence could occur.

Smugglers helping asylum seekers enter Turkey from Iran operate with relative impunity, but once across the border, policies are not so relaxed. https://t.co/r571US94mO

Chased from their villages and fields by armed groups, many Burkinabe are now reliant on government food rations that barely extend beyond a meal a day. https://t.co/k0zt2GMIOY

Jihadist infighting had added a dangerous new dimension to an already multi-sided conflict in Burkina Faso. As always, civilians are paying the price. https://t.co/gcXL1Vjjsr

My friend works for @holland_barrett who are insisting they have to continue working. Her team are terrified and in tears and she is running a temperature. Surely this is not essential shopping.

The Coronavirus is very much under control in the USA. We are in contact with everyone and all relevant countries. CDC & World Health have been working hard and very smart. Stock Market starting to look very good to me!

[Helen Branswell 🇨🇦 @HelenBranswell]

.@CDCgov is advising Americans not to travel to South Korea if they can avoid it. This Level 3 advisory is like the one CDC issued for China for #Covid19.
Italy, Iran have Level 2 travel alerts that urge people with medical conditions to avoid travel. https://t.co/H71lZJ6pv1

2. New probable cases — people who had contacts with #Ebola patients, died from Ebola like disease but where never tested — would have suggested there's more of the virus around then appears to be the case. So it's excellent that they are all are from last year.

[Helen Branswell 🇨🇦 @HelenBranswell]

1. DRC has released details of 11 probable #Ebola cases it recently added to the outbreak count. There's a bit of good news, but also tragedy.
The good news is that these 11 cases were all infected in 2019. Finding newly infected probable cases now would be worrisome.

[The Korea Herald 코리아헤럴드 @TheKoreaHerald]

“You may not realize if you’re infected -- let alone tell if someone else is -- in early stages when symptoms are not obvious, which is also when the disease is most infectious,” the medical associations said. #COVID19
