Drawing flak for the Partygate scandal, the controversy seeking PM and his cabinet has come under much scrutiny, with rival politicians and the wider public up-in-arms at their indiscretions. With 16 gatherings under the scanner- held within the premises of 10 Downing Street- the incumbent Conservative Party has been forced into a corner. Matters have only taken a turn for the worse with the release of Sue Gray's report into the investigation. Senior civil-servant Gray, investigating into the incident, concludes in her report: ,The events that I investigated were attended by leaders in government. Many of these events should not have been allowed to happen. It is also the case that some of the more junior civil servants believed that their involvement in some of these events was permitted given the attendance of senior leaders. The senior leadership at the centre, both political and official, must bear responsibility for this culture. Also Read: UK 'partygate' report blames culture of PM Boris Johnson's office,Withering in her assessment, the report spares no punches. Calling into question the culture that allowed for such a flagrant breach of protocol, she adds: ,Whatever the initial intent, what took place at many of these gatherings and the way in which they developed was not in line with Covid guidance at the time. Even allowing for the extraordinary pressures officials and advisers were under, the factual findings of this report illustrate some attitudes and behaviours inconsistent with that guidance.

Some factories and commercial hubs also resumed operations. Shanghai, China's most populous city with more than 25 million residents, has now permitted about 50% of the population to exit a mass quarantine. The restrictions were introduced as COVID cases spiked and China rolled out the “zero-COVID” strategy. Wu Ganyu, a senior public health official, made the announcement at a press conference on Wednesday, saying that coronavirus was now under effective control” for the first time in some parts of the city, according to reports from Associated Press. China's new strategy to tackle COVID-19 includes bifurcating COVID-19 cases into two categories: those with symptoms (symptomatic) and those without (asymptomatic). ,Also Read: COVID deaths jump by 40%, but cases falling globally: WHO,On Wednesday, the government reported 19,927 new cases in China's mainland, all but 2,761 of which had no symptoms.

The government reported 26,760 people who tested positive but had no symptoms were released on Wednesday from observation. That included 25,411 in Shanghai, where some residents of quarantine centers have complained they are unsanitary. The shutdown of Shanghai, a global economic hub, prompted fears global manufacturing and trade might be disrupted.

Other major industrial and trading centers including Changchun, Jilin and Shenyang in the northeast, the port of Tianjin east of Beijing and Shenzhen and Guangzhou in the south have shut down businesses, imposed travel restrictions or told residents to stay home.

The scientists quantified CO2 emissions from space during the epidemic using a mix of NASA satellites and atmospheric modelling, including data from NASA's Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2 (OCO-2). Previous research looked into the consequences of lockdowns early in the pandemic and discovered that worldwide CO2 levels fell modestly in 2020. Also Read | Is it too late for the world to fight climate change?,The team was able to narrow down which monthly changes were attributable to human activities and which were due to natural causes at a regional scale by integrating OCO-2's high-resolution data with modelling and data analysis tools from NASA's Goddard Earth Observing System (GEOS). The team's data revealed that human-caused CO2 concentration rise in the Northern Hemisphere decreased from February to May 2020. It recovered throughout the summer, corresponding with a year-to-year decline in worldwide emissions of 3% to 13%.

Futian, a Shenzhen subdistrict that was closed down on Sunday, is home to 300,000 people and a flourishing commercial district. It shares a land border crossing with Hong Kong, where the caseload has increased in recent weeks, alarming officials in Beijing. Hong Kong currently has one of the highest virus-related death rates in the world, as the omicron form decimates its senior population, among whom vaccine reluctance is rampant. Thousands of foreigners have fled the city as schools have been closed and severe restrictions have been imposed to limit gatherings and mobility two years into a pandemic that has waned in severity across most of the world. Rather than adopting widespread quarantines, authorities in China's largest metropolis, Shanghai, have increasingly resorted to temporarily close particular schools, companies, restaurants, and shopping malls due to close-contact fears. Long lineups have formed outside metropolitan hospitals as people race to receive a negative Covid test. As the number of cases increases, the country's National Health Commission declared on Friday that fast antigen tests would be used. The kits will now be accessible for purchase online or at pharmacies by clinics and ordinary persons for self-testing, according to the health authority. Although nucleic acid tests will continue to be the primary method of testing, the move shows that China believes official efforts will fail to contain the virus. Last week, a leading Chinese scientist stated that the country, like other nations where omicron has spread like wildfire, should strive to coexist with Covid.

Factory goods and machinery are crucial to revive industrial production, which has been decimated by two years of halted trade. ,Experts, however, still expect North Korea's trade with China to be significantly smaller than pre-pandemic levels. ,North Korea can't immediately purchase a huge amount of goods because the multiyear toll of sanctions and pandemic-related difficulties has thinned out foreign currency reserves. Still, it's clear that North Korea isn't a country that can survive without imports for two or three years, so it's certain they will attempt to slowly increase imports within a limited scope, said Go Myong-hyun, an analyst at Seoul's Asan Institute for Policy Studies. ,North Korea has so far shunned millions of vaccine shots offered by the U.N.-backed COVAX distribution program, possibly reflecting an unease toward accepting international monitors. But the country may still seek help from China and Russia to inoculate workers, officials and troops in border areas as it proceeds with a phased resumption of trade, said Hong Min, an analyst at Seoul's Korea Institute for National Unification. ,North Korea may also be forced to adopt a scaled-back vaccination program by tightly restricting access to border areas and providing regular testing and vaccination for border workers. It could take nearly 100 million shots to fully vaccinate the North Korean population of more than 25 million, and the country will never get anything close to that, Lim said.","portalUser":{"id":"kQKU5wG2FUA","name":"Opoyi Central","username":"opoyicentral","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/opoyi_6k77dlSYd.jpg","role":2,"userType":1},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":{"latitude":"39.0392","longitude":"125.7625","name":"Pyongyang, North Korea","city":"Pyongyang"},"keywords":"['North Korea', ' North Korea reopens borders', ' North Korea lockdown', ' China', ' COVID19', ' coronavirus']","originalPublishedOn":"2022-01-28T08:00:00+05:30"}},{"node":{"id":"QKak6TIluec2","slug":"english/weekend-curfew-odd-even-rule-for-shops-lifted-as-delhi-relaxes-covid-curbs-report","slugV2":"india/weekend-curfew-odd-even-rule-for-shops-lifted-as-delhi-relaxes-covid-curbs-report-502145/","title":"Weekend curfew, odd-even rule for shops lifted as Delhi relaxes COVID curbs","postType":1,"coverMedia":"https://images.opoyi.net/opoyi_2kOeQLPTg.jpg","coverCaption":"Beneficiaries wait to receive COVID-19 vaccine near Jama Masjid in Old Delhi, Monday, Jan. 24, 2022.

Film director Lan Bo hopes to sound the alarm with a documentary, “Wuhan, I Am Here,” about volunteers who helped neighbors get food and medical care following the lockdown in early 2020 of the city where the coronavirus pandemic began. The documentary comes as China has renewed similar lockdowns in three other cities since mid-December to contain COVID-19 outbreaks. The number of people confined to their homes totaled some 20 million people in early January. Also Read: Beijing residents disappointed Olympics will be closed event,The government's decision to commandeer Wuhan's hospitals to treat COVID-19 patients meant many people with other problems were turned away. The film begins with a woman in tears outside a hospital that wouldn't admit her husband for treatment of lung cancer. Volunteers secured a bed for him by talking with a Beijing hospital and working medical connections. Other families struggled to get treatment for children with severe conditions. “At that time, medical resources focused on COVID-19 patients, so it wasn’t their turn” to be treated, said Lan. Also Read: Beijing Winter Olympics tickets will not be sold to public due to COVID-19,“Those who needed dialysis, those who had cancer and AIDS patients who needed medicine,” said Lan. “In addition, patients in critical condition and needed to be hospitalized — what were they going to do? We were all thinking about these questions.”,The government sent truckloads of food daily to apartment compounds. But elderly people who couldn't leave their homes and the homeless relied on volunteers to get food for them. Lan chronicles the hurdles volunteers encountered. They needed permits to drive in different areas of Wuhan. They were stopped by local officials who said they lacked permission to distribute food and other supplies. Also Read: China's Xi Jinping warns of 'catastrophic consequences' of confrontation at World Economic Forum,The lockdown of Wuhan, which spread to other Chinese cities, was later imitated by some Asian and Western governments as the virus spread. China's unusually stringent “zero tolerance” strategy that aimed to find and isolate every infected person helped to keep the country's case numbers relatively low. The National Health Commission has reported a total of 4,636 fatalities — and none since early 2021 — out of 105,484 confirmed cases. In the latest lockdown, most access to Xi'an in the west and its 13 million people was suspended in mid-December. The city government has been criticized for food shortages and the severity of anti-disease measures imposed under pressure from Beijing to bring down case numbers. A pregnant woman suffered a miscarriage after being turned away from a hospital, reportedly for lacking current COVID-19 test results. Xi'an failed to learn from Wuhan about the importance of volunteers, Lan said. Also Read: Beijing boosts efforts to curb COVID spread with Winter Games at stake,“Especially the pandemic in Xi’an, what I saw is the government’s neglect of civilian forces, which resulted in the lack of adequate treatment at the grassroots level,” Lan said. “Why was Wuhan able to get through this? Lan said. I think in addition to our country and the government’s huge input into resources, it was also because of the contributions of the tens of thousands of volunteers that worked in obscurity.”,Lan has applied for government approval to release the “Wuhan, I Am Here” in China. It was screened at the Yamagata International Documentary Film Festival in Japan last year. Under a lockdown, “it is this kind of daily life that sometimes determines the life and death of a person and determines the destiny of the person,” Lan said.","portalUser":{"id":"kQKU5wG2FUA","name":"Opoyi Central","username":"opoyicentral","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/opoyi_6k77dlSYd.jpg","role":2,"userType":1},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":{"latitude":"39.9042","longitude":"116.4074","name":"Beijing, China","city":"Beijing"},"keywords":"['Wuhan', \" Wuhan I am here'\", ' documentary', ' China', ' Beijing', ' COVID-19', ' lockdown']","originalPublishedOn":"2022-01-22T13:00:00+05:30"}},{"node":{"id":"kO5ykA3Ne8NJ","slug":"english/has-rule-breaker-boris-johnson-met-his-match-in-partygate","slugV2":"world/has-rule-breaker-boris-johnson-met-his-match-in-partygate-392534/","title":"Has rule-breaker Boris Johnson met his match in 'partygate'?","postType":1,"coverMedia":"/opoyi_x_8NSqAga.jpg","coverCaption":"Boris Johnson, then Mayor of London in seen looking through perspex as models of the next two commissions that will appear on the fourth plinth in Trafalgar Square in London, Friday, Jan. 14, 2011.

Sydney resident Rodney Swan recently found himself among the hordes hunting for rapid tests. The 77-year-old’s granddaughter is ill, and her family has been isolating at home for days as they await the results of their PCR tests.

My daughter can’t get boosters for her children.”,Swan is frustrated by what he views as the government’s jumbled messaging, and is stunned by the skyrocketing case numbers. These are numbers that you get in England,” he says. “I’ve got friends in London, because I lived in London, and I sense the smirk that they have now looking at Australia. Also read: Amid global COVID surge, WHO warns against treating omicron like the flu,Australia’s slow start to its booster program has left the population vulnerable to omicron, and has also increased the chances that its omicron wave will not decline as rapidly as other countries, says epidemiologist Dr. Nancy Baxter, head of the Melbourne School of Population and Global Health at Melbourne University. Australia’s politicians appear worried that any new restrictions will anger the public, Baxter says. But they can still help slow the spread by providing Australians with a limited number of free N95 masks and rapid tests, she says.","portalUser":{"id":"kQKU5wG2FUA","name":"Opoyi Central","username":"opoyicentral","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/opoyi_6k77dlSYd.jpg","role":2,"userType":1},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":{"latitude":"-37.8136","longitude":"144.9631","name":"Melbourne VIC, Australia","city":"Melbourne"},"keywords":"covid-19, Coronavirus, Australia, Omicron, Lockdown","originalPublishedOn":"2022-01-12T15:00:00+05:30"}},{"node":{"id":"ohBxPtofzmHi","slug":"uk-pm-boris-johnson-faces-lockdown-breach-claims-over-garden-party","slugV2":"world/uk-pm-boris-johnson-faces-lockdown-breach-claims-over-garden-party-462901/","title":"UK PM Boris Johnson faces lockdown-breach claims over garden party","postType":1,"coverMedia":"/opoyi_L_acX1BvwGo.jpg","coverCaption":"Britain's Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
