Sri Lanka Reimposes Curfew; India Eases Lockdown

BANGKOK (AP) – Sri Lanka has reimposed a countrywide 24-hour curfew after a surge in the number of confirmed coronavirus cases, most of them navy sailors who were hunting those evading quarantine. The 46 new infections on Friday were the highest in a day. They brought to 420 the number of COVID-19 patients in the Indian Ocean island, including seven deaths. Sri Lanka partially lifted a month long curfew on Monday during daytime hours in more than two thirds of the country. For the 10th straight day, China reported no new deaths from the coronavirus. Twelve new cases were reported on Saturday, 11 of them brought from overseas and one local transmission in a province bordering Russia. South Korea has reported 10 fresh cases.
