Slovakia's Romani settlements are very endangered by the COVID-19 pandemic, some have no access to potable water

The Romani settlements in Slovakia are very endangered by the current COVID-19 pandemic, according to the Slovak Government Plenipotentiary for the Romani Community, Ábel Ravasz. He sees the main problem in a lack of access to clean, hot water for personal hygiene.

 

Inhabitants of the settlements frequently do not even have basic personal hygiene materials on hand, and for that reason Ravasz has been negotiating to facilitate their access to such supplies. Some settlements and localities with higher concentrations of impoverished Romani people have just limited access to potable water and can only gain access to running water in their living arrangements by prepaying smart cards that allow them to access those utilities.

 

The complications of disbursing welfare benefits to settlement residents at this time is also being currently addressed by the Government. The subject of how the post office should be used for such disbursal during this crisis was part of a recent session of the Central Crisis Team in Slovakia.

Fury threatened with eight-year suspension ?!The British have launched an investigation against Tyson Fury who is accused of being doping in 2015. The UK anti-doping agency launched a crackdown after Martin Karefoot revealed that he had been offered 25,000 to testify in favor of Fury. Fury said he ate contaminated wild boar meat and brought witnesses to confirm it, and his two-year suspension was eventually revoked. Martin Karefoot revealed years later that he had given false testimony so the British repeatedly called Fury to court. If he is found to be guilty by the rules, he could receive an eight-year suspension, which would be the end of his career.

Coronavirus infects more than 160,000 people worldwide - it doesn't bypass top athletes

The new coronavirus has killed more than 6,400 people worldwide, and more than 160,000 have been infected.

 

The virus is present on all continents except Antarctica, and many countries have closed borders as a safeguard.

In the United States, 3482 people have died and 65 have died, CNN reports.

 

The worst in Europe is Italy, where 368 people died last week, the highest number of deaths to date, with a total of 1809 dead, Reuters reports, citing 24,747 coronavirus cases.

 

Immediately behind Italy are Spain and France, where 7,753 people, or 5,423, are infected.

Spain killed 288 in Covid - 19 and 127 in France.

 

In the mainland on Sunday, 16 new cases were confirmed, while the previous day there were 20 new cases.

 

The total number of infected in China is 80,860 and 67,749 patients have been cured, the BBC reports.

 

In South Korea, 74 new cases were confirmed, bringing the total to 8,238.

The Japanese Ministry of Health said there are about 15 hotspots around the world.

 

The biggest hotspot is in Osaka, where it has infected more than 50,000 people. While Guatemala has the first death toll.

 

The coronavirus pandemic has led to the biggest halt in global sport since World War II, with the real possibility of postponing two of the biggest competitions this year: the European Football Championship and the Tokyo Olympics.

 

Coronavirus has not bypassed the top athletes either, so several have already announced that they have had a positive test, and entire clubs have been voluntarily quarantined.

 

The NBA was suspended after it was confirmed that Utah Jazz player Rudy Gober was infected, and his teammate Donovan Mitchell and Christian Wood, a Detroit Pistons basketball player, had a positive test.

 

Shell Juventus have been quarantined after back-up Daniele Rugani has tested positive, and well-known cases in the English Premier League are Arsenal coach Michael Arteta and Chelsea player Kalum Hudson-Odoi.

 

Sampdoria has confirmed that five of his players have coronavirus, and Fiorentina's team has three cases.

 

Valencia backup Ezekiel Garray became the first contagious player in the Spanish championship yesterday.

 

Danish national team and Olympic champion Mads Mensah Larsen is the first big name in handball infected with COVID-19.
