Trump blocks travel from Brazil after coronavirus cases surge

President Trump on Sunday said the United States would suspend travel from Brazil, after a surge in coronavirus cases made the South American nation one of the world's hotspots. Brazil now has more than 22,000 deaths and 347,000 confirmed cases, the second most after the U.S., which has recorded nearly 100,000 COVID-19 deaths. Trump had already banned some travelers from China, Europe, the United Kingdom, Ireland, and Iran, but not from Russia, which has the third highest number of coronavirus cases. White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany called the Brazil restrictions another "decisive action to protect our country." Filipe Martins, who advises Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro on international affairs, said the travel ban wasn't "anything specifically against Brazil. Ignore the hysteria of the press." The ban will go into effect Thursday, and will not apply to legal permanent residents or their spouses, parents, or children. The ban does not apply to trade. Read more at The Associated Press.

'Dominic Cummings Was Lurking Here': Barnard Castle joke blue plaque pokes fun at alleged visit

A fake blue plaque has appeared in Barnard Castle poking fun at Dominic Cummings' alleged visit to the town during the lockdown period. The prime minister's chief advisor travelled to County Durham in March to self-isolate with his family while official guidelines warned against long-distance journeys, apparently because he feared that he and his wife would be left unable to care for their son. Mr Cummings is accused of travelling to Barnard Castle - something he has neither confirmed nor denied - while staying at a property adjacent to his parents' home in Durham. Barnard Castle is around 30 miles from where Mr Cummings was staying, meaning if he had travelled to the town on April 12, it would have been against the lockdown restrictions. The sign on the wall in the town reads: "DOMINIC CUMMINGS WAS LURKING IN THESE PARTS, 12.04.2020."

The Muslim social is a film genre that centres around Muslim society. The films tell a story from a Muslim perspective and dwell on the old world culture as well as the social and political changes that are influencing the Muslim society and are bringing out a change within it. The new wave Muslim socials portray the struggles of middle-class Muslims who find themselves fighting economic downturn, communalism and discrimination in a changing India. We need to watch such films in order to understand a different point of view. And to assimilate ourselves with an experience which is different from what the majority goes through. On this Eid, we bring a list of new wave Muslim socials to broaden your movie-watching experience. Dastak (1970)

A hot stone massage is a type of massage therapy. It’s used to help you relax and ease tense muscles and damaged soft tissues throughout your body.

After the COVID -19 pandemic lockdown, any person can visit the Calabash Spa and Saloon along Wampewo Avenue Kololo to relax and ease those muscles that could have been damaged as a result of too much sitting as a result of the Stay Home Stay Safe lockdown. Hot massage stones are placed along one’s spine, stomach, chest, face, palms, feet and toes. A trained massage therapist holds heated stones as they massage one’s body using Swedish massage techniques like long strokes, circular movements, vibration, tapping and kneading.
