    Governor of Zamfara State, Bello Matawalle, has ordered the immediate closure of all government offices in the state.

    The move was to contain the spread of Coronavirus in the state.

    The Nigeria  Centre for Disease Control had on Monday morning confirmed 36 cases of the virus with one death so far.

    In his directive, Matawalle ordered all civil servants to stay at home.

    However, he stated that health workers, firefighters and radio stations were exempted from the order.

    He said, “I have ordered the immediate shutdown of all government offices, ministries, departments and agencies. 

    “Almajiri schools should also be closed. All state civil servants should remain at home. 

    “Gathering of more than 20 people is banned. 

    “Our hospitals, fire service and radio stations are not affected by this rule.”

    The governor, who described the rapid increase of Covid-19 cases in the country as alarming, advised the people of Zamfara to practice social distancing, avoid large crowds and also take all necessary precautions as directed by the NCDC.

    Neuromorphic controllers to enhance control during landing in micro air vehicles

    Flying insects are able to navigate their environments efficiently, processing visual stimuli to avoid obstacles and land safely on a variety of surfaces. Over the past decade or so, research teams worldwide have been trying to replicate these capabilities in autonomous micro air vehicles (MAVs) using mechanisms similar to those observed in insects.

    Terror group, ISIS, has instructed members to stay safe and avoid killing anybody at the moment. 

    In a full-page infographic on the back cover of its most recent Al-Naba  Newsletter, the terror group gave a list of tips instructing fighters how to stop the spread of Coronavirus. 

    Since the pandemic broke out in China, the group has been covering the outbreak like a responsible media outfit with its newsletters. 

    It has spoken less of killing ‘infidels’ and carrying out jihads, rather focusing on keeping the plague away from members.

    The terror group has cells scattered all over Europe, Asia and Africa.

  • Just stay at home, pleads PM (Updated)

    Just stay at home, pleads PM (Updated) 5

    PETALING JAYA: Please, stay at home and protect yourself and your family.

    This was the ultimate message by Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin to all Malaysians in his special address tonight as the country enters its second day of the 14 days restriction of movement order (RMO).

    Muhyiddin explained that the goal of the movement restrictions was to minimise exposure to the Covid-19 virus, after many among the public disregarded the order to travel to their hometowns, while others were spotted in public areas.

    “The reason of the RMO is so that all of you need not travel. You don’t have to crowd the trains and buses or eateries, and your children are not required to go to school, which could expose them (to the virus).

    “I plead to you, please, stay put where you are. I plead, just for this two weeks … stay at home quietly,” he said.

    Muhyiddin said it was pertinent that Malaysians adhere to the RMO to break the chain of infection and ultimately reduce the number of those infected with the novel coronavirus.

    He reminded the public that the virus could be transmitted from person to person through touch, and that if they continue to travel around, the chances of them contracting Covid-19 was higher.

    He added that the reason the RMO was set to two weeks was because the Covid-19 has an incubation period of 14 days.

    “The government is hoping that after this period, those still with symptoms can be identified and separated for treatment, and finally make Malaysia free of Covid-19.

    “If during this period we are not successful, the government may be forced to extend the restriction order,” he said.

    Muhyiddin said while the concept of staying home and avoiding public places looked simple in principle, this was particularly important if the country wishes to contain the virus.

    He also urged those who need to move around to purchase essential daily items to practise good hygiene and avoid any physical contact with others.

    “As a prime minister, I have a huge responsibility to handle the crisis. But I can’t possibly do it alone. I need all of your help. God willing, we can overcome this crisis together,” he said.

    To date, 790 people have been infected by the Covid-19, with 117 new cases recorded today. Two Malaysians died to the virus on Tuesday.

  • M’sians in Thailand rush home to beat movement control order deadline

    M’sians in Thailand rush home to beat movement control order deadline

    M’sians in Thailand rush home to beat movement control order deadline 6

    BANGKOK: Many Malaysians working or on holiday in Thailand scrambled to book the next flight to Malaysia after a two-week nationwide movement control order from March 18 was announced in the country due to the Covid-19 outbreak.

    Many Malaysians rushed to airports early morning to make sure they got back home by today to avoid being slapped with the 14 day self-quarantine under the order.

    An employee based in Pattaya, Low Ban Ching, travelled about 150km to Bangkok today just to catch the next flight back to Malaysia.

    “I read messages from friends and family members back home about the movement control order.

    “I realised I need to be back in Malaysia by today, if not, I have to undergo health checks and self-quarantine for 14 days.

    “Luckily, I managed to book a ticket from Bangkok to Kuala Lumpur,” he told Bernama when met at the Suvarnabhumi Airport today.

    Meanwhile, a project-based employee who only wanted to be known as Kah Yee, said she decided to fly home as the movement control order created uncertainty for travellers.

    “I’m not sure whether there will be another extension after March 31. I made a quick decision to fly home today to beat the deadline,” she said.

    Yesterday, Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin had declared that Malaysia would be placed under nationwide movement control order from March 18-31 March due to the Covid-19 outbreak.

    Muhyiddin said it also involves a comprehensive restriction on all Malaysians travelling abroad with those returning from overseas required to undergo a health check and to self-quarantine for 14 days.

    The restriction also covers the entry of all foreign tourists and visitors into the country and also bars Malaysians from leaving the country.

    A businessman, who goes by the name of Thomas, 56, said he decided to bring forward his return ticket to get home before the deadline.

    “I want to be home before the order goes into effect … I prefer to go back to Malaysia,” he said.

    For Australian couple, Rosemary and David, who will transit in Kuala Lumpur before flying to Sydney said they decided to fly before March 18.

    “We read about Malaysia’s movement control orders. We are not sure whether it will affect our flight.

    “We do not want to take any risks so we are flying home early,” he said. – Bernama
