Germany extends the border controls introduced a month ago because of the coronavirus to May 4.   Border checks with Austria, France, Luxembourg, Denmark and Switzerland will be carried out for at least another twenty days, the German Ministry of the Interior said.

Besides, Germans who return from a stay abroad for more than a day are obliged to stay at home in self-isolation.

About 25 People A Day Buried on Hart Island New York Since Corona Outbreak

About 25 people a day buried on Hart Island, which has served as a poor man's grave since the nineteenth century.   In this way, the city tries to make the situation feasible for morgues. They must store more bodies than is achievable since the outbreak of the corona crisis. Those who have no relatives who come to claim them within fourteen days will rest on Hart Island. At least temporarily, because the victims can still be excavated. Mayor Bill DeBlasio said earlier this week that it was possible that temporary funerals would take place on Hart Island. Two new trenches have already been dug at the poor old grave, located in The Bronx district, "just in case they are needed," said Jason Kersten, spokesman for the department in charge.

EU Demands Action Against Guilty Poison Gas Attack in Syria

Those responsible for the poison gas attacks in Syria in 2017 should be held accountable.

In a report on Wednesday, the OPCW first held the Syrian government responsible for three attacks in March 2017, using chlorine gas and the nerve agent sarin. The European Union takes over the conclusions and in a statement strongly condemns the use of chemical weapons by the Syrian Air Force. Accountability is essential to prevent the re-use of ch...
