A gravedigger, wearing personal protective equipment to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus, Covid-19, disinfects after a burial at the"Jardínes del Recuerdo" Cemetery, in Managua on May 15, 2020. People living in the most deprived areas of Britain are more than four times likelier to test positive for Covid-19 than those living in the richest neighbourhoods, new research showed Saturday.

Brazil has registered 218,223 confirmed coronavirus cases since the start of the pandemic and 14,817 deaths. Panama has extended by one month to June 22 its ban on international flights due to the coronavirus outbreak, the country's aviation authority said on Friday.
The exact figure could not be immediately verified, but multiple reports cited the figure from a statement issued by Navy spokesman Cmdr. Clayton Doss. Doss reportedly also said "a small number of other Sailors who came in close contact with these individuals were also removed from the ship and tested."
