Threat of ‘second wave’ of virus looms

There are concerns relaxing social distancing restrictions too early could result in a second wave of COVID-19 sweeping through multiple countries.

Australian Coronavirus

In this Thursday, March 26, 2020, photo, Australian Matthew Chinery looks into the camera for a selfie at the Goa Medical College Hospital, where he got tested and waited four days in isolation with other suspected cases of the highly infectious disease because hotels and hostels refused to let him stay unless he had a coronavirus-negative certificate, in Goa, India. Tourists stranded in India after their vacations were abruptly ended by Indiaâ€™s coronavirus lockdown and grounded flights are running out of money and hoping their embassies can help them get home. While in the western city of Goa, popular for its beaches, Chinery was kicked out of a hostel because his smoker's cough resembled a COVID-19 symptom. The medical certificate still didn't make finding a room easy. He managed to get one with help from a friend, but the hotel's staff is so scared, they don't knock at his door to leave his packaged meals. (Matthew Chinery via AP)

Global Coronavirus

BERLIN, GERMANY - MARCH 27: A medical volunteer dressed in a protective suit, mask, gloves and goggles stands outside a tent set up near a medical practice to test people for Covid-19 infection on March 27, 2020 in Berlin, Germany. Doctor Ulrike Lipke said she set up the tent as a way to offer testing yet avoid possible coronavirus infection inside the premises of her practice. Germany is seeking to radically ramp up its coronavirus testing capacity to up to 200,000 tests per day by the end of April as a means to allow people to return to work and hence get the crisis-stricken German economy back into gear.
