Italy to Ease Virus Lockdown over Four Weeks, Starting with Certain Factories on Monday
Tiptoeing Back to Normality, Germany Gears Up for 2nd Virus Wave
[AnNahar] Left empty as the coronavirus pandemic forced events to be cancelled, Berlin's exhibition centre Messe is getting a makeover with the help of German soldiers -- to reemerge as a hospital in a few weeks' time. Wires are still hanging from the ceilings, but when construction is finished, the vast site will be able to host up to 1,000 patients.
Even as Germany begins easing curbs on public life to halt contagion of the virus, authorities are busy ramping up their capacity to deal with a second wave of infections. Almost 13,000 of Germany's 32,000 intensive care beds remained free at the last count.
From the start of the crisis, Germany had much more breathing room than its European neighbours, with 33.9 intensive care beds per 100,000 inhabitants compared to 8.6 in Italy and 16.3 in France. And it has since drastically expanded intensive care and screening capacities.

Israel: State report finds nearly 40% of virus deaths have been nursing home patients
[IsrqelTimes] A report compiled by the state-sponsored authority over the government’s coronavirus response in nursing homes reveals that 72 of the 193 deaths (38% of them) have been nursing home patients, Channel 12 says.
The report says that 97 nursing homes across the country have at least one carrier and that in the past week, 2,000 tests have been carried out in such facilities — far below the goal of 3,000 that health authorities had set initially, Channel 12 says.
