Hong Kong begins to ease social distancing measures

BBC World Service - Newsday, Hong Kong begins to ease social distancing measures

From today Hong Kong is easing some social distancing measures as coronavirus cases in the territory have remained low.   Now the current four-person limit on gatherings in restaurants and public places will be expanded to no more than eight people.

Two men have been arrested in the US state of Georgia and charged with the murder of a young black man in February. A video appearing to show the killing has been widely circulated and caused outrage over the failure of the police to take action against the two men.

Many African countries have experienced a relatively slow growth in coronavirus cases , but in the past few days Sudan has seen a spike in confirmed cases to 930 patietns and at least 52 deaths.
