Goa defeats COVID-19, no active case in state
All seven COVID-19 patients in Goa have recovered from the infection and have been discharged, chief minister Pramod Sawant said on Sunday.
He said that all the seven persons are natives of Goa, but six of them had returned to the state from abroad.
“The repeat samples of the seven COVID-19 patients have tested negative for the infection. While six of them had been discharged earlier, the last patient was discharged on Sunday,” Sawant said.
He said that after their recovery, all of them have been shifted to a quarantine facility, where they will be kept under observation for the next few days.
The last of the seven COVID-19 cases in the state was detected on April 3. The state government has set up a dedicated hospital to treat coronavirus patients. It has also set up a laboratory at Goa Medical College and Hospital for testing.
Sawant said that all the agencies, including the health department and police, worked in tandem to bring the results.
He said his government will write to the Centre to inform it that all the patients have been cured and discharged, and no fresh cases have been reported in the state.
“It is up to the Centre to declare Goa as a green zone,” he said.
The chief minister said that though the number of positive cases have come down to zero, citizens should continue to remain at home during the lockdown.
“The restrictions during the lockdown period will continue. We will go as per the central government’s guidelines,” he said.
Meanwhile, state health minister Vishwajit Rane tweeted, “We are proud to announce that all the patients that were reported positive in the state of Goa have recovered from the COVID-19. The active number of cases in Goa now stands at zero.” — PTI
Punjab govt won’t relax lockdown till May 3: CM
Delhi has got its own narrative:
Following this, the Delhi Police issued an advisory to all the district DCPs, Special CPs, Joint CPs and other units of Delhi Police.
The Delhi government in view of the assessment of COVID-19 situation in Delhi, has decided to maintain status quo with respect to strict implemention of consolidated guidelines issued by the order of Government of India on April 15 without any relaxation for “additional activities” till another comprehensive assessment on April 27 for further orders, according to the advisory.
It further stated “additional activities proposed with effect from April 20, are not allowed in Delhi until further orders.”
However, central government employees above the rank of Deputy Secretary will be attending their offices 100 per cent and the lower level staff 30 per cent. Since it is not possible to gauge who are within the 30 per cent, all central government employees be permitted on the basis of their identity cards, it stated.
Several officers of the central government commute in hired taxis, therefore such vehicles carrying officers be allowed on the basis of their identity cards, the police advisory added.
Lockdown relaxations by Kerala a violation: MHA
The Home Ministry red flags the Kerala government’s additional relaxation measures during the lockdown and shot off a letter to CM Pinarayi Vijayan.

The Kerala government has announced relaxation of the lockdown restrictions in two zones, allowing among others private vehicles movement in an odd-even basis and dine-in services at hotels from Monday.

China Slams India’s New FDI Rules, Calls It “Discriminatory”
https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/china-slams-ind...
These Chinese live in make belief world…
Let the Chinese groan all they want, they have already infiltrated much of Indian startup’s. Now they wanted to buy others as well ? Communist F*****s. 
So what? Now you’re comparing yourself to him?
or you mean to say…you did not share articles/news which were merely speculations?
FYI…his view is also a speculation and other researchers have rubbished his claim (that’s what I can also read from the above articles)
I did not watch the news or whatever it is but he /she is qualified to talk about this shit not some xyz after reading one or two unverified articles
@A.M.A.Z.O
PS: Don’t tag me in relation with unverfied BS here in this particular thread
lol, I didn’t compare myself to him or anything. I just stated this is not a conspiracy theory anymore but rather a credible thought coming from leading virologists as well.
China sent many defective Rapid test kits lol…Just shown on TV that many ICMR representatives working with the rapis test kits in Kolkata are facing problems with the tests because the test kits are faulty… 
Unfortunate
Down south, many states are procuring these rapid test kits from korea (Korean kiosk model here in bangalore)
Not sure how authentic these test kits are proving to be :/
My company is now discussing opening of offices with 30% workforce on rotating basis. I commute 4 hours (100 km) each day in public bus.
Now I am scared. If the lockdown opens, and I get corona then? Because I am at high risk both because of low immunity and because of type of commute.
Don’t think there will be any Public transportion facility at least for one month more
The only fortunate people will be the ones with their own vehicles
That being said..the govt is only suggesting 30/50% workforce right?
May be you could ask them to be considered among the other 50/70% ? (work from home_ if available)
It’s because Covid-19 also spreads on shoes…
80% of COVID-19 cases asymptomatic, it’s worrisome, admits ICMR

LOL , these will never go into mass production …. just for lulz news .
Interesting article www.firstpost.com/health/coronavirus-outbreak-w...
Every actor is recommending making masks from t-shirts and clothes. How can such masks stop virus from entering? Does it mean we dont need N95 and only need a T-Shirt?
they are acting and earning from those videos 
Now that Corona is not showing any definite symptoms, how are you going to say that you are safe for sure!? 
I think everyone will get Corona??
Fingers crossed

Also two of my friends went to government hospital in Shimla since they had fever from few days but no tests were performed. They even offered to pay full amount . Similar thing happened in Indore. I don’t know if it’s shortage of kits or some other reason for reluctance to perform tests…
Covid-19: Mumbai to ramp up testing to 4,000 a day
Mumbai, with an estimated population of nearly 20 million, has been testing 1,200-1,400 people per day. Delay in the delivery of rapid antibody test kits has forced the municipal corporation to restrict its testing net.
Coronavirus vaccine to be tested in UK from Thursday
Health Secretary Matt Hancock said that a jab which has been developed by Oxford University will start being tested in just two days.
Speaking at the Downing Street press briefing, he said: "The vaccine from the Oxford project will be trialed in people from this Thursday.

“The UK is at the forefront of the global effort – we’ve put in more money than any other into the global search for a vaccine.”
The best hopes are from Oxford, MIT, Harvard, etc only.
Or maybe Lovely University.
lolwa.. rumours abound all over that apparently Gates Foundation/Wuhan Lab/W.H.O have all been hacked 
Wait for some juicy details to drip in. Underground forums suggest people are downloading shitton of data from there.. 2020 just got more interesting 🤣🤣🤣
I had seen translated emails from Wuhan lab this morning. People had shared login id and passwords as well
Holy shit !!! Just saw some of those emails.. and those little shits in China did create a bio weapon. Apparently they were fusing/slicing or whatever they do to mutate a virus manually , with HIV and SARS. Holy F***
