Quebec Premier François Legault reported the lowest number of new cases of COVID-19 since April 11 on Tuesday, with 570 new infections. He also reported 51 new deaths due to COVID-19, bringing the total number of deaths in the province to 3,647. The total number of COVID-19 cases in Quebec stands at 44,197 as of Tuesday. Quebec nurses held a demonstration outside of Legault’s office in Quebec City on Tuesday to draw attention to difficult working conditions during the pandemic. Legault said during Tuesday’s briefing that he was disappointed by the demonstration and he wants to meet with union representatives. He added that one of the fixes is to hire more workers, something he said his government has tried to do but positions are not being filled. Legault welcomed the recent agreement to extend the closure of the Canada-U.S. border for non-essential travel, saying it’s one of the requests he made when meeting with the prime minister in the past weeks. He added he wants to see the agreement extended for another month into the summer to prevent the spread of COVID-19. “I’m happy that we have another month,” Legault said. “I would like that we go another month after in July until we really have control.” For more info, please go to https://globalnews.ca/news/6958223/quebec-coronavirus-may-19/ Subscribe to Global News Channel HERE: http://bit.ly/20fcXDc Like Global News on Facebook HERE: http://bit.ly/255GMJQ Follow Global News on Twitter HERE: http://bit.ly/1Toz8mt Follow Global News on Instagram HERE: https://bit.ly/2QZaZIB #GlobalNews #health #COVID19 #coronavirus

Coronavirus latest -The UK coronavirus death toll today rose to 16,509 after 449 more fatalities were recorded in the lowest increase for a fortnight. The last time the daily death toll was that low was two weeks ago on April 6 when 439 fatalities were reported. More than 140,000 firms have applied for the government’s COVID-19 furlough scheme on the first day – and it will pay the wages of one million people in days. The Chancellor said that since the scheme opened up at 8am this morning, it had been inundated with requests for state grants. The scheme allows employers to claim up to 80 per cent of a furloughed employee’s wages, capped at £2,500 a month. In all, 5,000 HMRC staff will man phones and webchat services to answer questions so money is available as soon as possible. And it will pay them within six days, he said today, just in time for the April payday.
