Australian National University’s Professor Peter Collignon says Australia could “easily get an outbreak” of the deadly coronavirus pandemic in the winter months so that’s why it is crucial to “keep up the physical distancing as much as possible”.
Professor Collignon’s comments come as the coronavirus curve has continued to flatten in Australia, however fears have arisen the numbers could jump as strict social distancing measures being to be lifted across the country.
As countries around the world consider when and how to ease restrictions, attention is being focussed on the best ways to avoid second or even third waves of Covid-19 infections.

As pharma giants around the world race to find a cure for the corona-virus, Madagascar says it already has one. But there’s heated debate on social media. Africans accuse the West of being condescending towards their faith in traditional medicine. Madagascar’s President Andry Rajoelina promotes so called “Covid Organics” or CVO. It’s an anti-coronavirus tea made from the plant artemisia annua. The herbal ingridient of the drink is medically proven to be effective against malaria. Now, it’s being distributed for free on the island against Covid-19 – and also shipped on bulk to other African countries. But the World Health Organisation is yet to prove the efficacy of the plant. Some Doctors say untested herbal brews could be a risk, rather than a remedy.
Ghanaians also say they have a remedy. Ghana is one of the leading countries for confirmed COVID-19 cases in Africa – right behind Africa’s most populous country, Nigeria, with more than 5,700 cases. The disease presents an opportunity for some of its countries’ medicine men and women, who believe that they have the cure for the coronavirus.
Is traditional medicine really be the answer to treat COVID-19?

There may be light at the end of the tunnel today for London as new modelling suggests the capital’s coronavirus outbreak is slowing dramatically.
The research by Public Health England and Cambridge University suggests the reproduction rate of the virus, the ‘r’ is now at 0.4 in the capital. Meaning for every ten people who catch coronavirus, it will be passed on to just four others.
The research estimates that new daily infections in the capital are now at just 24
Before the lockdown, London’s r rate was around 2.8, with 213,000 people being infected a day by March 23rd, when the lockdown was imposed.

In his first appearance back at the daily government briefings, Prime Minister Boris Johnson declared that the UK has past the peak of the coronavirus.
Despite stressing that the lockdown must remain in place, he promised to lay out possible exit strategies next week.
The government has ramped up plans for contact tracing – a painstaking method used to slow down and contain the spread of infectious outbreaks.
It means tracking down people who have been in prolonged contact with Covid-19 sufferers, to potentially ask them to self-isolate.
Scientists in Italy now say coronavirus has been detected in particles of air pollution, which allowed it to be carried over long distances. Chris Livesay reports on the new findings and what they mean.
