The World Health Organization kicked off its first virtual assembly on Monday as more than 100 of the body's 194 member nations, including the United States, now back a resolution calling for an independent probe into the origin of the coronavirus pandemic.
"Six months ago, it would have been inconceivable to most that the world's biggest cities would fall," Tedros added."But numbers don't even begin to tell the story of this virus. Each loss of life leaves a scar for families, communities and nations."Russia reported 8,926 new cases of COVID-19 on Monday, a new low in a gradual declining trend.

People can now go to hardware shops, garden centers, farmers' markets and other outdoor retail spaces in the country, as well as opticians, vehicle repair shops, golf courses and tennis courts. Constructions sites also resumed work Monday. Other shops remain closed, likely for at least another three weeks. Bars and restaurants are not expected to reopen until the summer.
"We all need to approach the coming days with care and caution, and to show some collective cop-on," Ireland's health minister Simon Harris said Sunday night."We want the shops to stay open, so there's no need to rush down to your local DIY center or garden shop today."

U.S. Navy sailors assigned to aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt, who have tested negative twice for COVID-19, are asymptomatic and completed their off-ship quarantine or isolation, prepare to board the clean ship at Naval Base Guam on May 1, 2020.When the first sailor described having the body aches and headaches, Navy medical teams urged previously positive and asymptomatic sailors to step forward if they were experiencing the same symptoms.
