Prince Albert II of Monaco has tested positive for coronavirus, a spokesperson for the city-state's palace told CNN on Thursday.

The status of the ruler's health "is not worrying at all," the palace added in a statement. Prince Albert was tested for Covid-19 earlier this week.


The 62-year-old is continuing to work from the office in his private apartments and remains in contact with members of his cabinet and government.


The prince is Monaco's head of state, and one of the world's wealthiest royals. He was formally invested as the country's leader in 2005.

Monaco, a country with a population of no fewer than 40,000 people, had recorded nine cases of coronavirus before the monarch's diagnosis was announced.

Neighboring France has been one of the worst-affected nations in Europe, confirming more than 7,600 cases and 175 deaths.

"His Serene Highness urges the people of Monaco to respect the measures of confinement and to limit contact with others to a minimum," the palace's statement added.

"Only the strict observance of these confinement measures will make it possible to stop the spread of the coronavirus."

‘It’s not going to kill anybody,’ Trump says at White House

The Food and Drug Administration has been told by President Donald Trump to see if it can expand the use of an experimental malaria drug, chloroquine, to treat patients in the middle of the U.S. coronavirus outbreak.


At a press conference at the White House Thursday, Trump and the head of the FDA gave apparently conflicting comments about the availability of the drug. Trump said chloroquine had been approved and could be given to patients by doctors with a prescription.


“It’s been around for a long time, so we know that if things don’t go as planned it’s not going to kill anybody,” Trump said.

Minutes later, FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn, said that use of the drug would be in a clinical trial to find out whether or not it works, and if so, what dose would be safe and effective.


“Again, we want to do that in a setting of a clinical trial,” Hahn said, following up on Trump’s remarks at the press conference. Doctors in the U.S. are allowed to prescribe drugs for uses that haven’t been approved by the FDA, in what’s called off-label use.

An FDA spokesperson said the drug had not been approved for use in Covid-19 patients.

Trump also said that an experimental drug from Gilead Sciences Inc., remdesivir, is also “essentially approved.” Trump didn’t elaborate on what that meant. Hahn said afterward that the FDA has a responsibility to make sure drugs are safe, and work, even as it loosens regulation.


Hahn said that issues like dosing would matter, given that the disease are different.

The FDA has increasingly stepped back from its regulatory role in the middle of the crisis, announcing that it would let states regulate tests to diagnose the virus in order to speed their rollout. It has also said it is temporarily halting inspections of drug plants in the U.S. and abroad.

The agency’s standard for drugs is to look at the risk posed by side effects compared with how effective treatments are. But the growing number of coronavirus cases in the U.S., and the lack of any proven therapy or vaccine, appears to have tilted that balance.

Drug Pipeline

Gilead’s remdesivir was originally developed for use against the Ebola virus. The drugmaker is expected to report early results of tests of the experimental medicine in April.

Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc. said Tuesday its development efforts for a drug to treat the virus are ahead of schedule and it could start testing in humans this summer. Another therapy, the malaria drug chloroquine, is being studied against Covid-19, and China has included it in treatment recommendations.

Even those in Trump’s inner circle have cautioned against equating early research on drugs with proof that they work.


Deborah Birx, a member of the president’s coronavirus task force, said during Wednesday’s White House briefing that Trump had asked for a briefing on potential treatments for the virus. Birx said that even evidence a drug works in animals doesn’t mean it will work in people.

“Of course, there’s always anecdotal reports, and we’re trying to figure out how many anecdotal reports equal real scientific breakthroughs,” Birx said.

While a small percentage of people die from infection by the coronavirus, the vast majority get better on their own as their immune system attempts to battle the pathogen. That can make it more challenging to determine whether experimental drugs are effective.

Muslims are immune to coronavirus – Islamic scholar, Ali-Agan says as he tells Buhari not to shutdown Mosques


A renowned Islamic Scholar and Professor of Islamic Studies at the University of Ilorin, Dr. Abubakar Imam Ali-Agan, has urged the President Muhammadu Buhari government, the Sultanate Council and Muslim authorities, not to shut down mosques in Nigeria over coronavirus.

He spoke on Wednesday while reacting to the suspension of congregational prayers at Saudi Arabia.

Saudi had on Tuesday stopped the performance of the customary five daily prayers and the weekly Jumat (Friday) prayer at other worship centres excluding the two holy mosques in Makkah and Medina. But Ali-Agan told PRNigeria that Nigerian Muslim males should be allowed to observe their compulsory prayers in mosques.

He claimed that Muslims have already been endowed with a natural immune system to fight coronavirus.


Medical expert Ali-Agan stated that health officials advise people to wash their hands which Muslims do five times daily before observing their obligatory prayers.

“Again, our sisters are always adorned in Hijab, some even use Niqab and gloves. So, we the Muslims already have a potent immune system against coronavirus. That is to say that we don’t have any problem.

“Even in France, I learnt that those that are completely free from contacting coronavirus are Muslim ladies and women who cover their face, use hand gloves and don’t shake hands with people,” he said.

The cleric, who is also an Imam of a Jumat (congregation) Mosque, noted that the action of the Saudi Government is in line with Islamic teachings on preventing the spread of an epidemic in any area. He said the Holy Prophet specifically mentioned that if there is an epidemic at a certain location, people should not go close to that danger area or place. While those that are living there should not come out until the epidemic is wiped out.

The prophet, by implication is saying we should avoid the spread of epidemics with necessary precautionary steps. Ali-Agan argued that the Saudi authorities’ directive is only aimed at forestalling the wildfire spread of the disease.

“I don’t think the Muslim Ummah and its authorities in Nigeria should toe the line of Saudi by banning congregational prayers in mosques. “The situation in our country is quite different from what we have in the Arab world or even at some western countries. The killer scourge easily ravages their immune system and body. However, I am still saying we should go along with what the Prophet counselled. “Which is that we should not take epidemics or any killer disease for granted. We should take all necessary precautions. Any advice from health officials should strongly be adhered to and abided by,” Dr. Aliagan added.

Kenyans.co.ke is reporting that; A man in Kibundani area, Kwale County on Tuesday, March 17, died after he was assaulted by a group of youth at night.

The man, George Kotini Hezron, is said to have been suspected of suffering from coronavirus by the residents, who decided to take the law into their hands against CS Mutahi Kagwe's directive that any such cases should be reported through the ministry's toll-free line.

Kotini is said to have been heading home after having a drink at Diani joint when he was attacked at 9 pm.


"Kotini met a group of youths, and an argument ensued as the youths took advantage of his drunkenness and started accusing him of suffering from coronavirus. As a result, they seriously assaulted him, hence sustaining injuries,” read a report filed at Diani Police Station.


According to K24 Digital, the attackers used stones and boulders to hit the middle-aged man, before they fled and left him.


Police who arrived at the scene found that the attackers had already left and rushed Kotini to Msambweni Referral Hospital, where he died while receiving treatment.


Kwale County Commander Joseph Nthenge confirmed the incident to Kenyans.co.ke and stated that the police were following up on the matter.

No arrests, however, have been made yet.


This comes after Health Cabinet Secretary Mutahi Kagwe on Wednesday, March 18 announced the confirmation of three more Coronavirus (Covid-19) cases in Kenya bringing the total number of confirmed cases to seven.


The announcement brings the total number of confirmed cases in the country to seven.


Among the three newly confirmed cases is a Burundian national who arrived in Kenya from Dubai on March 17.

The other two, a couple from Spain, arrived on March 4, landing at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) from Dubai as well.


Kagwe warned of dire consequences for those who failed to self-quarantine on arrival, noting that they were required to swear a legal document promising to do so.

But OP, what of Okonko masquerade?

ogbu80:
Ikpochaa mmanwu niile ikpogi achikwu mara na ibidobeghi

Really? Even when Ijele has been kpooed?

In Isuikwuato, Abia State, we don't know what is called Nmawu really, we call it ekpo instead, and they come in different forms.

Nothing dey give me joy reach "oso ekpo ndi Ovum and Ahaba Imenyi"

Ikeji festival? Battle of the masquerade. That goat untying no be for the fainthearted.

My uncle once covered the festival in his documentary.

My kinsman, called Air raid, AKA "Agu na-eche mba" once untied that goat and brought it home(Isuikwuato)for merriment, leaving Pericoma in his awe

Yet again, Ighalo fails to make the bench for his Manchester side . Here is to wish the super enthusiastic United forward, yet another spectacular outing

andrewbaba44:
No Wague of Barca that always rot at the bench on not in match day squad

He has done well so far at nice sha ,I won’t lie

Ur assertion brings ur Barca allegiance and knowledge into questioning. Wague was immense with Eupen prior the world cup, tremendous with Senegal at the world cup proper which culminated in his much celebrated(though uncerebral IMO) move to Barca. He got unfortunate with an injury and had a long lay off, on his return, he used the Barca B as a format for resuscitation, playing regularly with the likes of Puig, played few times for the first team and then left on loan for Nice for more game time. Mousa Wague can never be described as a bench warmer at Barca

andrewbaba44:
Wow are you sure ?

He is a first teamer at marseille

Who is Senegal right back ?

He isn't as good as Wague

andrewbaba44:
My guy is wise ,he won’t even smell the French team so he chooses Senegal

Him saying Senegal has always been at the back of his mind is a big fat lie

I am waiting for bouna sarr marseille who had the chance to play at last World Cup but refuses and still hoping to play for France

I wish our own players could be as wise.

Bouna Sarr isn't good enough for Senegal, btw

And Senegal just won another one over....




Lys Mousset - If Senegal called me, I would jump at the opportunity



One of Sheffield United's best players, Lys Mousset said he is ready to ditch France and play for Senegal on the international scene.


Mousset was born to a former Senegalese player, Emilien Mendy and a French mother in the European country and went on to play for the French youth teams in U20 and U21 levels.


Despite being born and bred in France, the 24-year-old has declared his love for Senegal and his readiness to accept their invitation.


“It is true that I have always been attracted to Senegal. I don't watch a lot of football, but when Senegal play, I am always in front of my TV. I support them like crazy,” Mousset told Goal.

“The story with the French team is not over because I don't have a selection yet, but if Senegal called me I would say yes.”


Mousset is having an impressive debut campaign at Bramall Lane where he has contributed five goals and four assists in 23 Premier League games.


He disclosed his discussion with Senegal head coach Aliou Cisse, as he anticipates his maiden invitation to his team.


“Yes, he called me. Everything went very well. He asked me if I was well and if Emilien Mendy was indeed my father. I replied "yes" and he asked me for his number to speak with him,” he continued.

“He didn't tell me he was going to select me, but if it were to happen I would be delighted. I will look carefully at the next list and hope I will be there.


The former Bournemouth striker is a close associate of Rennes’ Senegalese goalkeeper Edouard Mendy.


After establishing himself at Sheffield United this term, Mousset is ready to commit his future to the West African nation.


“Edouard just told me that the coach has been following me for a long time. For me, Senegal has always been at the back of my mind, but first I wanted to rediscover the joy of being successful with my club and it was done with Sheffield, after very complicated moments in Bournemouth,”.

TheSuperNerd:

andrewbaba44:
It will be childish because you are blind and you didn’t see what he said that resulted to such insult

Respect your self sir

Saying that less was expected, would have been a harbinger of self delusion, but, it is a new day so...

PurpleHouse:
This is a faceless forum where opinions are shared and discussed. It is not a cult or society where there is a norm to be obeyed or adhered to.

Let people be who they want to be, say what they want.. Hype your stars, let others hype theirs. But please, if you bring down Nigeria players just to uplift one idiot in Britain, or Ivory Coast, thunder will roast your left brokos.

Make Ina grow up abeg.

Do u think Ighalo has done enough to force the coaches’ hands, to adjust the formation to accommodate him in the starting line up, in the subsequent matches?

Arabiandude:
Are you his father and wishes to beat him because he cried to you and told you how "that Uncle beat the hell out of him with a cane"?

What's ur take on Ighalo's cameo appearance today?

Arabiandude:
Shut up, get lost and go and die!

That was quite insensitive and uncalled for

andrewbaba44:
You and your papa go first die

Shebi your mama go thief goat meat wey dem take disgrace her,you will be next

Idiot ,Arabian slave

This is very childish

The Dutch media on Chidera Ejuke - "finally we have an African winger with Brazilian technique".

jihday:
Fight everywhere on the TL

Na hunger and over heat dey cause am, little thing ppl from failed homes dun begin curse others mama and papa.

TheSuperNerd:
Funny take: Ighalo taught Osimhen "Hold-up play".

How and when?

MetalJigsaw:
. just imagine yourself in that guy's shoes before you continue to "tease" him. Is it because tiu think that you can always get away in a faceless forum?

Bros no be me cause am the worries wey dey him life presently, so make him no carry the anger come pour for my body. So person no fit joke wt ppl again for Naija just Bkus say things hard? On a normal, we dey call one another isi aki, isi azu, akpuda etc just for fun, but the kid just flared up for no reason begin talk about my parents, to think that he was an Igbo and should understand better was what really surprised me.

Ighalo was a super bloke today, saw few minutes of action, but, left a mark. His movements, first touch and hold up play(especially the one that resulted to a goal) were superb.

Dude is looking like a player reborn
