Coronavirus news, updates, hotspots and information for 11-05-2020
This is Coronavirus 411, the latest COVID-19 info and new hotspots… Just the facts… for November 5th, 2020.
Only nine ICU beds were available in Minnesota’s Twin Cities yesterday morning. Plus, nurses and other caregivers can’t work because they are infected or under required quarantines. COVID-19 ICU admissions have doubled since late September but aren’t taking up most of the beds. They still only make up 18% of ICU usage.
Italy’s latest restrictions include a partial lockdown of the region around Milan. The country has been divided into three zones - red, orange and yellow, according to the intensity of the epidemic. In red zones, citizens can only leave home for work, health reasons or emergencies, and bars, restaurants and most shops are closed.
Greece is facing a universal month-long lockdown as a spike in cases hits new records. It will be their second and could be in place as early as tomorrow.
Health officials in South Korea have approved a new test that apparently detects COVID-19 and seasonal influenza from the same samples. Those illnesses are hard to tell apart based on symptoms, so having a diagnosis for both in three to six hours is expected to lighten the burden on medical workers.
A Texas veterinarian is just one of many who’ve been tracking the spread of COVID in pets. Dr. Sarah Hamer has swabbed not just dogs and cats, but hamsters and guinea pigs. She’s found at least 19 cases of infection. Nationwide, cats and dogs who caught it from sick owners represent 80% of positive cases.
