Prinţul consort Philip, Duce de Edinburgh, soţul Reginei Elisabeta a Marii Britanii a murit la vârsta de 99 de ani, informează Casa regală a Marii Britanii. Atunci când prinţul Philip avea vârsta de 18 ani, unchiul lui, regele Greciei, a fost obligat să abdice, iar tatăl lui a fost expulzat din ţară, după Războiul greco-turc. Alături de părinţii şi cele patru surori ale lui, Philip a fugit din Grecia la bordul unui vas al armatei britanice.

Ora după care se orientează astronauţii a fost aleasă încă de acum 20 de ani, când Staţia Spaţială Internaţională (SSI) a intrat în funcţiune, informează Mediafax. NASA şi partenerii săi au ales Ora Greenwich, numită după observatorul aflat în apropiere de Londra. Astfel, Staţia Spaţială va trece în 2021 când în România va fi ora două noaptea.

Nu au în vedere adoptarea de noi restricții, dar au totuși recomandări și sfaturi pentru populație. Germania intră în carantină în perioada sărbătorilor de iarnă, ceea ce înseamnă că magazinele neesenţiale se închid, la fel și școlile, începând chiar de miercuri. Sunt măsuri fără precedent în Olanda, țară care în primul val al epidemiei a preferat să adopte „izolarea inteligentă”. „Rămânem acasă în timpul vacanţelor de iarnă şi le petrecem în siguranţă, astfel încât să evităm un al treilea val”, a spus ministrul polonez al sănătății. Dar specialiștii sunt îngrijorați: străzile s-au umplut imediat de lume, așa că și Italia ar putea urma exemplul Germaniei cu o carantină totală de sărbători.

„Am identificat o nouă variantă de coronavirus, care ar putea fi asociată cu răspândirea rapidă în sud-estul Angliei”, a spus ministrul Hancock într-o intervenţie în faţa parlamentului. „Analizele iniţiale sugerează că această variantă creşte mai repede decât variantele existente”, a adăugat el, transmite Agerpres. „Am observat în ultima săptămână o creştere foarte puternică, exponenţială, a virusului la Londra, Kent, în părţi din Essex şi Hertfordshire. Nu ştim cât de mult aceasta este din cauza noii variante (de SARS-CoV-2), dar, indiferent care ar fi cauza, trebuie să acţionăm rapid şi decisiv”, a indicat ministrul Matt Hancock. Guvernul britanic a elaborat un sistem de restricţii antiepidemice pe trei nivele, capitala Londra fiind în prezent la al doilea nivel.
