Singapore reports just 3 cases. – What Now News 24

On Sunday, Singapore reported just 3 new coronavirus cases, all imported. There were no community transmitted infections for the fifth day.

The three imported new cases were all asymptomatic, and have been placed in strict quarantine. Two of which are Singapore permanent residents that just returned from India, while the other case was a short term visit pass holder from Italy.

There are only 41 active cases in the country. The success in curbing the spread of the virus and reduction of the cases to single digits is attributed to aggressive testing for early detection, combined with efficient contact tracing. Singapore have also employed bluetooth contact-tracing tokens, where every citizen in the country must wear.

Ten People Arrested At Illegal 200-Person Fight Club In The Bronx – Gothamist (Macho Fight Club – bad Covid-19 mix)

Ten organizers, promoters, a DJ, and security guard were arrested and charged with various COVID-19 emergency order violations, liquor law violations, and holding an event for a prohibited combative sport. All ten organizers were issued desk appearance tickets and slapped with $15,000 in fines for holding the event.

Two loaded guns were also seized at the event, as well as marijuana and alcohol, the Sheriff’s Office said. It is not clear if anyone had been arrested for possessing the guns.

The CEO of Rumble in the Bronx, 32-year-old Michael J. Roman, was among those arrested and issued fines for the event, according to the sheriff.

The underground fight club, founded by Roman, who goes by Killa Mike, is aimed at helping people ease tensions through boxing, rather than responding with gun violence, according to a 2018 feature on the group published in The Undefeated, a website covering race, sports, and culture. The group’s motto reads on Instagram, “GUNS DOWN GLOVES UP.”

Interim Peru president faces calls to quit after two protest deaths | World news | The Guardian

George Forsyth, the politician leading the polls as a presidential candidate for the elections next year, demanded Merino’s immediate resignation, saying in a tweet that his “hands were stained with blood”. He said congress should choose a new president from the 19 lawmakers who voted against Vizcarra’s impeachment over unproven bribery allegations. Out of 130 members of congress, 105 voted to remove the centrist leader on Monday.

The former president expressed his sadness over the deaths. “I deeply regret the deaths caused by the repression of this illegal and illegitimate government,” Vizcarra wrote. “My condolences to the families of these civil heroes who, exercising their right, went out in defence of democracy and in search of a better country. The country will not allow the death of these brave young people to go unpunished.”
