Here’s a quick summary of what has happened around the world over the last 24 hours, brought to you exclusively by British Herald.
A few children in the UK having no underlying health conditions died from a rare inflammatory syndrome. Researchers believe the syndrome is linked to COVID-19, according to British Health Secretary Matt Hancock. Parents must be vigilant about a severe infant inflammatory disease which medics fear may be linked to COVID-19.
A possible link is undergoing investigation between the coronavirus pandemic and severe inflammatory disease clusters in infants showing up in hospitals with symptoms of high fevers and swollen arteries.
Kim Jong Un may have missed a key holiday on April 15 because of concerns over the coronavirus, not because he is ill, South Korea’s minister for North Korean affairs said on Tuesday.
North Korean leader Kim’s absence from public ceremonies on the birth anniversary of his grandfather and founder of the country, Kim Il Sung, was unprecedented, and he has not been seen in public since. That has led to days of speculation over his health.
South Korean officials emphasise they have detected no unusual movements in North Korea and have cautioned against reports that Kim may be ill.
North Korea has said it has no confirmed cases of the coronavirus, but given the fact that the country has taken stringent steps to head off an outbreak, Kim’s absence from the ceremonies is not particularly unusual, Unification Minister Kim Yeon-chul, who oversees North Korea engagement, told lawmakers.
