As countries close shops, borders and beg their citizens to stay at home, the global economy is looking less healthy by the day. The Dow Jones in New York closed down 4.5 per cent on Friday, capping off Wall Street's worst week since 2008. A global recession is now a real possibility; central banks worldwide have slashed interest rates to record levels. And increasingly, people are finding they have no more job to go to. Saadia Zahidi is a managing director at the World Economic Forum. She told Euronews a quick recovery depends on the actions governments and employers take today. She also said more coordination is needed, more along the lines of what happened following the financial crisis in 2008. But there could be a silver lining, she added.

A well-known symptom of Covid-19 could actually be a sign of having a sexually transmitted infection (STI). Having a 'low-grade' fever - a slightly raised temperature between 37.5°C and 38.3°C - not only indicates the virus, but could also be a symptom of chlamydia., one of the UK's most common STIs.

The Biden administration is planning for a likely wave of COVID-19 infections this fall and winter by ensuring both a “new generation” of vaccines and access to treatment and testing, White House COVID-19 Response Coordinator Dr. Ashish Jha said on Sunday — but he stressed that plan depended on congressional funding. “And we have the resources," Jha told ABC "This Week" co-anchor Martha Raddatz. "One of the reasons I've been talking a lot about the need for Congress to step up and fund this effort is if they don't, Martha, we will go into the fall and winter without that next generation of vaccines, without treatments and diagnostics. That's going to make it much, much harder for us to take care of and protect Americans."
