The U.K. has tested over 482,000 residents for the virus so far, the department said.
Police broke up a massive party that was being held in Brooklyn, New York, Saturday night, despite the city's strict ban against mass gatherings, the NYPD said.
Officers responded to eNVee Barbershop on Avenue L in the Canarsie neighborhood around 10:30 p.m. where they found dozens of people gathered for the party, according to a police spokesman. Officers broke up the party and issued 60 summonses to the guests for violating the city's orders to shelter in place, which included a ban on mass gatherings, the NYPD said.
A police source said officers arrested two people involved with the gathering after it was discovered they allegedly had illegal weapons.
At Saturday's COVID-19 briefing, New Jersey Health Commissioner Judy Persichilli announced that the Andover Subacute Nursing Home received several citations from the state Department of Health after a survey of the facility was done on Friday.
\"Survey of the Andover facility, which was a CMS survey along with a state surveyor is completed. A conference call was held with the owner and the nursing consultant yesterday,\" Persichilli said.
He received several citations and is required to submit a plan of correction on Monday.
New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy, New York Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, and Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont today announced marinas, boatyards and marine manufacturers will be allowed open for personal use as long as strict social distancing and sanitization protocols are followed. Chartered watercraft services or rentals will not be allowed, and restaurant activity at these sites must be limited to take-out or delivery only, like anywhere else in the three states. This announcement aligns the policies of the three states on this particular service.
\"We’ve committed to working with our regional partners throughout this crisis to align our policies when and where appropriate,\" said Murphy. \"A unified approach is the most effective way to alleviate confusion for the residents of our states during the ongoing public health emergency.\"
\"Throughout this pandemic, we’ve worked closely with our friends in neighboring states to implement a uniform regional approach to reducing the spread of the virus,\" Cuomo said. \"Aligning our polices in this area is another example of that strong partnership, and will help ensure there is no confusion or ‘state shopping’ when it comes to marinas and boatyards.\"
\"Our states share workforces, resources, public transit, and we all have share a connection on the water,\" Lamont said. \"This is yet another example of how our states have shared interests, which is all the more reason to collaborate on these kinds of decisions. This decision provides uniformity across our marinas.\"
U.S. District Judge John Broomes ruled late Saturday against Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly's decision to limit churches from holding services with more than 10 people.
\"Laura Kelly, in her capacity as Governor of the State of Kansas, is hereby enjoined and ordered to refrain from enforcing the prohibition in Executive Order No. 20-18 and Executive Order 20-25 prohibiting religious gatherings involving more than ten attendees ... so long as those gatherings comply with the social distancing and public health protocols Plaintiffs have indicated in their complaint they are prepared to apply,\" Broomes wrote in his decision.
The Democratic governor was fighting to keep large church gatherings from meeting in opposition to the Republican-controlled legislature.
Broomes wrote that \"churches and religious activities appear to have been singled out among essential functions for stricter treatment.\"
The ruling will hold at least until May 2.
There have been at least 1,850 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Kansas, according to Johns Hopkins University, and 85 deaths, mostly in Wyandotte County, which includes Kansas City, and Johnson County.
