Как избежать паники и полезные советы, как обнаружить мошенничество с COVID-19

Уилл Мюррей сканирует самые надежные веб-сайты, чтобы выяснить, как мы можем защитить себя от мошенничества во время кризиса с коронавирусом, и несколько советов о том, как избежать паники.

В ряде стран официальные лица выразили обеспокоенность по поводу хаотичного затоваривания, что ограничивает общий доступ к предметам первой необходимости и повышает вероятность заражения в супермаркетах.

Некоторые важные товары, такие как туалетная бумага и дезинфицирующее средство для рук, по-прежнему пользуются сумасшедшим спросом, что ограничивает доступ к ним и вызывает ненужную панику. Чтобы уменьшить нагрузку, правительства призывают людей делать покупки ответственно и брать только то, что им нужно. BBC опубликовал ряд полезных руководств о том, как ограничить количество продуктов, которые мы тратим, покупая продукты с длительным сроком хранения.

Кроме того, появился ряд мифов о том, как распространяется вирус и как люди могут защитить себя от него. И Би-би-си, и Всемирная организация здравоохранения (ВОЗ) опубликовали руководства о том, что люди могут услышать и что должны игнорировать. Совет ВОЗ по ограничению распространения вируса остается следующим:

- часто мойте руки с мылом и водой не менее 20 секунд;
- кашлять и чихать в ткани или локоть;
- не касайтесь глаз, носа и рта немытыми руками;
- практика социального дистанцирования;
- Если у вас жар, кашель и затрудненное дыхание, обратитесь за медицинской помощью заранее и следуйте рекомендациям местного медицинского органа.

Aden under curfew, as problem in Yemen's south deepens

Aden under curfew, as problem in Yemen's south deepens

The port city of Aden, in Yemen's south, has been put under curfew, as the rift in the country between  the Saudi led coalition which  backs Yemen's presidential governing council, and the southern forces led by the Southern Transitional Council (STC), deepens. Abdul Rahman al-Mahrami, a member of the Yemeni Presidential Governing Council and commander of the al-Amalik brigades, has ordered a curfew in the temporary capital, Aden, "to maintain security". "A curfew has been imposed throughout Aden Governorate from 9:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m., in accordance with the instructions of Commander Abdul Rahman al-Mahrami, a member of the Presidential Management Council," the statement said. It states that only security and military personnel, as well as medical and technical teams with approved permits, will be allowed to move in the area during these hours. Yemen's presidential council, which is backed by Saudi Arabia and which already is in a struggle with the Houthi Movement in the north of the country who also occupy the capital Sanaa, two days ago issued an order for the arrest of the head of the Southern Transitional Council (STC),, Aidarous al Zubaidi. The STC have wide support among people in the South, and advocate that South Yemen restores its independence. The coalition warned of further escalation in Aden, long regarded as an STC stronghold, as the Presidential Leadership Council (PLC) chief accused STC leader Aidarous Al Zubaidi of “high treason” and announced the revocation of his membership in the governing body. The moves mark a sharp escalation in tensions within the anti-Houthi camp, despite National Shield Forces, rivals of the STC and former allies, having recently retaken control of Hadhramaut and Mahra from southern fighters. The STC’s takeover of the two regions last month angered Saudi Arabia and contributed to igniting the current internal conflict. (click the picture to read more)
