Countries affected by the novel coronavirus entered another week of strict quarantine and several nations introduced new economic stimulus to aid citizens and companies hit by the pandemic.
- Italy’s government said it would extend its nationwide lockdown measures against a coronavirus outbreak at least until the Easter season in April.- The British prime minister’s senior adviser, Dominic Cummings, is self-isolating with symptoms just days after the British leader himself tested positive.
- Denmark may gradually lift a lockdown after Easter if the numbers of coronavirus cases and deaths remain stable.- Germany hopes to launch a Singapore-style smartphone app within weeks to help trace infections.- The U.S. death toll climbed past 3,000 on Monday, the deadliest day yet in the country’s mounting crisis, while New York cheered the arrival of a gleaming 1,000-bed U.S. Navy hospital ship as a sign of hope in the city’s desperate fight.
- The U.S. government has cut deals with Johnson & Johnson and Moderna Inc and said it is in talks with at least two other firms to expand manufacturing capacity within the United States for coronavirus vaccines. - Mainland China had 48 new cases on Monday, up from 31 new infections a day earlier. All 48 cases were imported, bringing the total number of imported cases in China to 771 as of Monday.
- India, which has said it had no plans to extend the 21-day lockdown that began last week, reported 1,251 confirmed coronavirus cases by Monday evening, up 227 from the previous day, its steepest single-day rise. - People in New South Wales, the epicenter of the coronavirus outbreak in Australia, could be heavily fined or jailed for leaving their home without a good reason from Tuesday under sweeping new powers designed to slow infection rates.
- Zimbabwe began a 21-day nationwide lockdown, following neighbor South Africa in implementing some of the world’s toughest anti-coronavirus measures likely to hurt an economy already suffering hyperinflation and food shortages.- Asian shares were closing out a calamitous quarter with a tentative rally as factory data from China held out the hope of a rebound in activity, even as much of the rest of the world shut down.
- Trade ministers from the Group of 20 major economies agreed on Monday to keep their markets open and ensure the continued flow of vital medical supplies, equipment and other essential goods.
