This is Coronavirus 411, the latest COVID-19 info and new hotspots… Just the facts… for Friday June 19th, 2020.   California has issued a statewide requirement that masks must be worn in indoor public spaces. The Sherriff of Orange County says he won’t enforce the mandate. In Nebraska, The Governor has threatened to withhold funding from communities that require masks in official buildings, reports The Washington Post. On Wednesday, American Airlines removed a passenger from a flight for refusal to wear a mask. The CDC and WHO both recommend masks, frequent hand washing and social distancing to help prevent the spread of COVID-19. In Springfield Missouri in late May, two hairstylists had symptoms of the virus, but continued to work for over a week and saw up to 140 clients. The stylists and the clients all wore masks. The stylists eventually tested positive, none of the 140 clients did. 

A report in the New England Journal of Medicine, suggests that blood type could play a role in the severity of the COVID-19 illness, with Type A blood more likely to have a severe reaction and Type O, less likely. More research will be conducted. The Director of the Harvard Global Health Institute warns that unless there are policy changes, the growing number cases in the U.S. could get much bigger, relays CNN. Mississippi reported 381 new cases yesterday, a number of which were tied to fraternity rush parties in Oxford. 

The Yemen Director of the International Rescue Committee, has raised an alarm about conditions in the country stating “We can't even say how many people have it, because Yemen's health system has effectively collapsed, and the country has extremely limited testing capacity”. Mexico reported its largest daily increase in cases with over 5,000. Citing a steady decrease in cases, The United Kingdom has lowered their COVID-19 alert from 4 to 3. Meaning the virus remains in general circulation.
