Alert in Taiwan after lab worker bitten twice by mouse with Covid becomes coronavirus positive

<p>Ninety-two Indian workers at an ironworks factory in Sri Lanka tested positive for COVID-19 on Monday, health officials said.</p>

<p>The Indians were among the 128 workers at the factory in Colombo north suburb of Wattala who were found to have contracted the virus. They have been put under quarantine.</p>

<p>The factory, which has a total of 194 workers, has been closed temporarily, a report in the Newscenter.lk said.</p>

<p>Those who have tested negative have been put under quarantine in the factory premises, the report said.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, Sri Lanka on Monday ended its COVID-19 lockdown by lifting travel restrictions, amid concerns by health officials who insisted that it must be continued in view of the raging third wave.</p>

<p>For the first time in nearly 4 weeks, the travel restrictions were lifted at 4 am on Monday and will be re-imposed at 10 pm on June 23.</p>

<p>We will be closely monitoring people's movements through special units, a police spokesman and Senior Deputy Inspector General Ajith Rohana said.</p>

<p>He said the public must stay indoors as much as possible despite the lifting of restrictions.</p>

<p>Even during this break, no inter-district travel will be allowed, the police said. Health officials issued more guidelines on public behaviour during the lifting of the lockdown.</p>

<p>The health authorities were wary of the Delta variant of the coronavirus which is spreading fast across the country.</p>

<p>We still view this as dangerous, the travel restrictions were only loosely observed. The lifting of even that could be dangerous, Upul Rohana, a spokesman for the public health inspectors said.</p>

<p>The island nation has recorded nearly 2,000 cases per day since the third wave which began mid-April.</p>

<p>The total number of COVID-19 cases in the country stood at 239,689, while 201,389 are recovering.</p>

<p>According to the Johns Hopkins University coronavirus data, there are 2,581 COVID-19 fatalities in the country.</p>

"My life is a miracle:" coronavirus patient recovering after months in hospital

<p>President Donald Trump's Republican lawmaker, Louie Gohmert has tested positive for coronavirus on Wednesday. &nbsp;</p>

<p>Gohmert, who made a habit of walking around the Congress without a mask, was prepared to leave for his native Texas with Donald Trump.&nbsp;</p>

<p>House Democrats were angered by the news and urged Speaker Nancy Pelosi to order the wearing of masks on the chamber floor -- with the punishment of removal for anyone disobeying.</p>

<p>The 66-year-old lawmaker was asymptomatic and downplayed his diagnosis.</p>

<p>He has worn a mask in recent weeks and has said on Wednesday that moving it around on his face because it is uncomfortable "puts some germs in the mask" and maybe this caused his infection.</p>

<p>Gohmert was tested in the White House as he was to accompany Trump in a visit to Texas.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"So I'm asymptomatic, I don't have any of the symptoms that are listed as part of COVID-19, but apparently I have the Wuhan virus," Gohmert said in a video using a term that angers China.</p>

<p>According to Gohmert, he has worn the mask more in the last week or two than in all of the past four months (when the pandemic began). He added that he wore a mask during Tuesday's hearing with Barr also. However, he was seen without it a few times during the hearing and was seen walking and talking with Barr.</p>

<p>"Wear a damn mask," said Democratic representative Jennifer Wexton from Virginia.</p>

<p>"I don't know who needs to hear this, but if you're a Member of Congress who refuses to wear a mask on Capitol Hill, you're not only putting your colleagues at risk -- you're endangering the staff who works here, including many of my constituents," she said.</p>
