#Lebanon #Beirut #Shortage #Electricity

Lebanon's caretaker energy minister cautioned on Thursday that if money to buy fuel for power plants is not secured by the end of the month, the country will be plunged into "absolute darkness."
Since the end of the civil war in Lebanon in 1975, power outages have been frequent, forcing Lebanese to pay a second power bill to private generators for three to 12 hours per day during the outages.
The country is currently experiencing its worst economic downturn in decades, and it is rapidly running out of hard currency to support imports.

According to sources, Turkish police apprehended 18 Chinese nationals who rented nine separate villas in Istanbul's Silivri and Büyükçekmece districts to run a fake cryptocurrency call center and swindle funds.
The raid was carried out after two of the workers, who had been forced to work for the gang, fled the posh villa complex in the two districts and sought assistance from the Chinese consulate.
The two men who made the appeal to the Chinese Consulate in Istanbul, Hongwu Z. (29), and Kang W. (28), told officials that they came to Turkey after seeing a job posting in the financial sector.

#Germany #RKI #Coronavirus

The Robert Koch Institute predicts a Germany-wide incidence at Easter that is well above that at Christmas 2020. The reason is the rapid spread of virus variant B.1.1.7.
In the current Covid-19 management report, the RKI writes that the weekly number of cases is growing "very evenly" and that it has doubled about every 12 days in the past few weeks.
"The RKI therefore expects the 7-day incidence to show a significantly steeper increase overall from week 10 [current week, editor's note]." A graphic in the report shows how steep this could be. Up to calendar week 15, i.e. the week after Easter,

According to the Ministry of Health, the corona "emergency brake" agreed between the federal and state governments in North Rhine-Westphalia should not automatically take effect if the state-wide seven-day incidence of 100 is exceeded. Image
First of all, it should be checked what circumstances led to the excess, said a spokesman for Health Minister Karl-Josef Laumann of the "Westdeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung".
"If the numbers increase just because of the many additional tests in an otherwise stable infection process, this must be taken into account in further evaluations."
