EU apologises to Italy

By 1038 0

The EU has expressed its apology to the European country of Italy for the improper way it responded to the member country when the country required support in the initial stage of the Coronavirus outbreak.

The EU Commission President, Ursula von der Leyen, has extended a wholehearted apology to Italy, while she was speaking at the European Union Parliament.

In her statement, the President has recognised the improper way the union behaved in the initial stage of the virus outbreak.

Italy has welcomed the statement made by the EU Commission leader. The country has termed the statement as the recognition of truth.

Earlier, Italy expressed serious dissatisfaction over the way the EU reacted when they sought for the support of the union.

It even warned that the EU’s inability to address the crisis would question the sustainability of the union in the future.

Italy is one of the worst affected country in the continent of Europe. As many as 21,000 persons have lost their lives in the country so far due to the virus outbreak.

Though it is a late admission, the statement made by the EU may help the union overcome the ire it has faced for its irresponsible reaction.

Most affected countries want the EU to take up the task of mitigating the economic impact caused by the virus outbreak, though some prime EU powers are not a fan of that idea.

By 1085 0

With the experience the state learned from its fight against the disastrous Nipah virus outbreak – which claimed several lives in the state, the state has erected a strong defence wall against the Covid-19 outbreak – which has brought the world in a complete standstill situation.

Several International organisations have appreciated the foolproof model adopted by the state to fight the present virus outbreak.

They have found the Kerala model even better than the models put forth by several western countries including the North American country of the United States of America.

Kerala has invested too much time in educating its people about the threat. It is where the state has found its victory. It has used all available possibilities – including the possibility of social media – to reach up to the people with all necessary directions.

The state’s aggressive contact tracing method has also helped the state to contain the spread of the virus to an extent.

Other states in the country have several things to learn from this tiny state situated in the southern tip of the Asian country of India.

At present, the Kerala health infrastructure is one of the most advanced health infrastructures in the country.

A riot has broken out in a prison located in the Siberian region of Russia. The prison has been badly damaged due to the riot, as a severe fire has broken out in the prison.

As per the statement released by the authorities, some inmates at the high-security region in the prison attacked a guard who had tried to help a prisoner bleeding from a self-inflicted wound.

Meanwhile, some activists have provided another version. As per their statements, several prisoners have slashed their own arms in protest against the inhuman behaviour of certain guards.

According to the statements of the activists, the lack of scrutiny gives certain guards in the prison a free hand to do what they want in the prison.

Anyway, the government has not responded to the allegations made by the activists. As per its latest statement, the situation is at present under control and an investigation is on.

Russian jails are under lockdown for last few days to prevent the spread of the coronavirus outbreak.
