Romania uses fine to prevent lockdown breach

By 660 0

The European country of Romania has used the possibility of fine to present the possible break of the measures imposed to prevent the spread of coronavirus.

Over 2,00,000 people have been fined so far as they have been found to have violated the measures imposed to contain the spread of the disastrous virus.

The country has earned a huge amount through the policy. The total amount collected through the policy until now is not less than 69m Euro.

Even a mayor has been fined as he has been found to have violated the measures imposed by the Romanian government.

He has been caught with his cycle in a park closed due to the virus outbreak – almost all public spaces in the country are in a closed state due to the virus outbreak. His argument that he has come to the park to check whether any violation happens in the park has not been taken into account by the concerned authority.

The mayor has shared his plan to challenge the fine legally when he has been asked about the action taken against him.

It remains unclear whether there is any political angle in the action.

Romania at present has not less than 9,242 cases of Covid-19. It has suffered as many as 507 deaths in connection with the virus outbreak.

By 585 0

The European countries of Germany have eased several restrictions brought in to contain the spread of the coronavirus outbreak.

The country has allowed its small shops, car dealerships and bicycle stores to resume its business activities.

Though the relaxation has been announced, the majority of the restrictions are expected to remain until it is decided otherwise.

Germany is one of the worst affected countries in the continent of Europe. Unlike many other European countries, it has brought the things under control in a quick manner.

In the coming days, the country is expected to announce more relaxations. It seems that it will not take too many days after the country to come back to normal.

The country is different from other European states which have suffered the heat of the virus outbreak. The mortality rate from Covid-19 of the country is far lower than the rates of many of its European counterparts.

The German health department deserves special appreciation for the way it has handled the virus outbreak.

The country has so far suffered a little more than 4,400 deaths due to the coronavirus outbreak.

EU apologises to Italy

By 633 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.

Denmark is not a seriously affected country. With its latest move, it has taken a serious risk. It is yet to be seen whether it will be proved beneficial in the long run.

UK loses measles-free status

By 570 0

Owing to the unexpected rise in the number of infections, the European country of the United Kingdom has lost its measles-free status.

An official work in an International health agency has warned of the possible emergence of a crisis due to the rise in the number of cases.

He has cited the delay in the administration of vaccine to the rise in the number of cases of measles.

As per a statement made by the UNICEF, over 117 million children in 37 countries may not get immunised on time due to the coronavirus crisis.

Measles is a serious disease. Its symptoms are cough, rashes and fever. The disease can be prevented by the administration of two doses of the Mumps, Measles and Rubella vaccine, popularly known as the MMR vaccine.

The vaccine is free to children in the European country of the UK and in many other countries around the world.

It is high time for governments to think serious about the matter of the rise in the number of cases of measles – the disease because of which the world suffered a lot once.

The return of that disease is not acceptable and should be prevented at any cost for the good of the people of the world.

Hungary in severe political crisis

By 637 0

The European country of Hungary is at present in serious political crisis. The ruling wants unrestricted power in their hands to fight the coronavirus outbreak. Meanwhile, the opposition stays committed to oppose with tooth and nail any attempt to place more power in the hands of the ruling.

The matter is now under the consideration of the Hungarian Parliament. With an impressive majority in the Parliament, it will not be difficult for the ruling to pass the bill in the Parliament.

Recently, a petition, with more than one lakh signatories, was made to oppose the attempt to offer more power in the hands of the ruling.

The population of the country has a mixed opinion on the matter. A section supports the logic put forth by the ruling that with less power on their hand the ruling has many limitations to confront this medical emergency at present. Meanwhile, some are worried about the threat posed by the expansion of power on the democratic framework of the country – particularly on the freedom of speech and expression (in other words, the freedom of press).

It is hard to believe that the ruling will misuse the situation. At the same time, considering its recent records, it is not easy to believe it will not misuse it either.
