Israel Army Opens Coronavirus Unit
Israel on Sunday opened a new coronavirus treatment facility co-run by the army’s medical corps, an unprecedented move for the military unit, aimed at bolstering an embattled healthcare system. The Jewish state currently has one of the highest daily per capita coronavirus infection rates in the world, and the number of seriously ill patients is steadily increasing. The army-backed unit at Rambam Hospital in the northern city of Haifa includes a control room where patients are monitored by video and an underground coronavirus room that used to be a parking lot.
New UK restrictions
British leader Boris Johnson will present new restrictions to parliament on Monday, which is expected to be a new three-tiered lockdown system as virus infections rise, particularly in northern England. Its top strategic adviser, Edward Lister, has written to MPs representing seats in the north of England, following a meeting with regional leaders to warn them that it is “very likely” that the region will have to abide by stricter rules.
Roland-Garros: empty stands
With the men’s final between Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal, Roland-Garros closes on Sunday afternoon after its fifteen games interrupted by the pandemic. The 2020 edition of the French Grand Slam Tennis Championship took place four months after its regular spring time with the stands almost empty. Attendance from the public was cut in early September first to 11,500, then 5,000, and finally 1,000 viewers per day across the site to meet stricter virus controls.
