A sixth region of New York ready to reopen-governor
[AlAhram] A region in the western corner of New York will become the sixth region to start reopening on Tuesday after hiring enough people to trace contacts of people who test positive for the novel coronavirus, Governor Andrew Cuomo told a daily briefing.
The western New York region will follow the reopening of five regions on Friday -- all of them in central and upstate parts of the state outside New York City, which remains under strict stay-at-home restrictions.

Trump Takes ‘Historic’ Action To Move Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Out Of China, Back To U.S.
[DailyWire] In an “historic turning point,” the Trump administration has taken bold action to bring America’s pharmaceutical manufacturing back to the U.S. from China and India.
“Seeking to secure the nation’s supply of critical medications, the Trump administration has signed a $354 contract that would create the nation’s first strategic stockpile of key ingredients needed to make medicines,” NBC News reported. “The agreement was signed Monday with Phlow Corp., a generic drug maker based in Virginia.”
White House Trade Adviser Peter Navarro, a staunch China hawk who is the mastermind behind President Donald Trump’s trade war with the communist nation, said that the move “will not only help bring our essential medicines home but actually do so in a way that is cost competitive with the sweatshops and pollution havens of the world.”
The New York Times reported that the company could see the contract “extended for a total of $812 million over 10 years, making it one of the largest awards in” the history of the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA).
France revises down coronavirus death toll
[AlAhram] France on Tuesday adjusted downwards its death toll for the coronavirus as a result of revisions to how fatalities are registered in nursing homes.
The health ministry put the latest toll at 28,022, compared with a figure of 28,239 published the day earlier.
It said this was due to a revision in the data for nursing homes, where 342 fewer people are now recorded to have died from COVID-19.
Over the last 24 hours, 125 more people were registered to have died of the coronavirus in hospital, it added.
With France now over a week into the easing of its hard lockdown, the numbers of people in intensive care continued to fall by 104 to a total of 1,894.
At the peak of the crisis, this figure reached over 7,000.
