An investigation into claims that the nurses’ union president charged overtime while on holiday is not intimidation, the Labour Party insisted on Thursday.
Addressing a news conference, Labour MP Malcolm Paul Aguis Galea, a doctor by profession, insisted that the issue of increased pay for nurses and the investigation were unrelated.
“The investigation should be as clear as possible and allowed to take its course,” he said.
Last week, the health ministry said it will investigate Pace over allegations by Labour pundit Manuel Cuschieri that he claimed to have worked overtime while on holiday in February.
Pace has denied wrongdoing.
The investigation into Pace comes at a time when the MUMN and government are at loggerheads over a new collective agreement.
Despite health minister Chris Fearne and minister for the elderly JoEtienne Abela saying their offer would have seen nurses' and midwives' pay increase by around €6,000 annually, members of the union overwhelmingly rejected the government offer on Tuesday.
The MUMN had previously described the government’s offer as "inadequate and humiliating".
Agius Galea said nurses are “an important part of the healthcare workers that we hold dear.”
“We thanked them and we will keep on thanking them,” he said adding that the government and MUMN will eventually reach an agreement that works for all.
“I believe there is goodwill on both sides,” he said.
The labour MP was speaking alongside energy minister Miriam Dalli who said the PL has social justice at heart.
She said the country’s economic growth is being used to help families, pensioners and students and to keep a quality healthcare service.
Energy subsidies are saving a family of four €2,000 annually, she said.

SEC: last year over a dozen illegal ICO
The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) published a report stating that during the past fiscal year, the department successfully took more than a dozen law enforcement actions against ICO projects.
The document says that at least three such projects raised $ 68 million before closing. At the same time, the total amount of fines imposed by the SEC on ICO-projects amounted to $ 3.945 billion. Representatives of the Commission also noted that the number of such law enforcement actions by the department is steadily increasing.
“Considering the explosive growth of ICO over the past year, we have focused on the most ambitious cases that can significantly affect not only the market, but also other areas,” the report says.
The document also states that the SEC cyber division created at the end of 2017 is showing significant activity. According to representatives of the department, it is included in the work where "federal securities laws are faced with cybercrime."
The SEC also noted that as of the end of the fiscal year, there were 225 cases related to illegal activities in the Internet space in the cyber division.
The report notes that the SEC law enforcement unit specializes not only in the ICO, but also in startups and other organizations acting as unregistered broker-dealers and contributing to the distribution of tokens.
Earlier, BlockchainJournal reported that the SEC suspended trading in securities of the American Retail Group, also known as Simex.

LAHORE: Punjab Chief Minister Sardar Usman Buzdar has said that composite development will be the main focus of the provincial budget 2021-22.
In a statement issued here on Thursday, the CM said parliamentarians were consulted to determine the regional needs and attention was paid to benefit the people through public welfare schemes. A separate development package has been devised for every district, he said and added that mega projects would be initiated under the public-private partnership to provide more facilities to citizens by expediting the development process. The public-private partnership will be encouraged in different sectors to promote investment, he added and announced providing every area with its rights. New projects will be started along with the completion of the ongoing schemes, he said. The CM said the upcoming budget will depict the aspirations of the people and the government will work to facilitate the people according to the available resources.
Meanwhile, steps will be taken to overcome unnecessary expenditures, he said and vowed to increase resources for giving relief to the general public. The CM said the development programme would be realistic and public needs would be prioritised and development of south Punjab would be given due attention. Usman Buzdar said the new budget would start a new era of development and the development of the social sector would be paid special attention. The budget will depict public aspirations and resources will be allocated for the development of backward areas, he added.
More funds will be allocated for the social sector, he announced and regretted that farmers remained victim of the system in the past. The PTI government has protected farmers’ rights and the growers of wheat and sugarcane crops received the full reward for their hard work, he said. The chief minister announced allocating record funds for the agriculture sector as it was a priority area.
Meanwhile, unnecessary expenditures will be curtailed to provide additional resources for public welfare, the CM maintained. The provision of additional resources will help minimise public problems and the government will also ensure financial discipline in public sector departments. A culture of austerity will be promoted at every level. It is the need of the hour that the government expenditures are minimised. However, customary practices were needed to be avoided to increase resources, the CM concluded.
Meanwhile, Punjab Chief Minister Thursday said that the opposition had been indulging in negative political activities to create unrest in the country and destabilise the government. However, he added, such elements had been fully exposed before masses. In a statement, he said the opposition irresponsibly behaved during the corona pandemic and disappointed masses. The PTI was standing with the people while the negative politics of opposition leaders had become part of the history, he said.

President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has declared that the nation’s borders will continue to remain shut until the decision is reviewed.
This, according to the President, will enhance the efforts to slow the spread of COVID-19 in the country since a major number of confirmed cases in recent times were travelers who came back home.
He noted that 192 of recent infection cases came from travelers who entered the country before the closure of the borders and their contacts. “Seventy-nine percent (79%) of the three hundred and seventy-eight (378) confirmed cases are, thus, imported.”
It was against this background that he stated that “clearly, until we have the situation fully under control, we cannot, at this time, open our borders. They will have to remain shut until further notice.”
The decision was taken in addition to the extension of the restriction on movements in some major parts of the country including Accra, Tema, Kasoa, and Kumasi, which have been identified to be major hotspots for the cases recorded so far.


Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) director general Martha Chizuma has warned corrupt people that their political power or efforts to discredit the bureau and its leadership on social media will not protect them from prosecution.
Chizuma was speaking in Kasungu during the Anti-Corruption Day Commemorations today.
According to Chizuma, over the past months, some corrupt people have been spreading misinformation on social media to discredit and threaten the bureau and its leadership.
“These threats and distortions are signs that we are doing our work without fear or favour. Lies do not become the truth because of being said repeatedly. We at ACB are still here to investigate people who stole money and protect funds that belong to Malawians,” said Chizuma who was arrested before being granted police bail on Monday this week.
The ACB chief also said that power, fame or positions will not shield from the law people who abuse funds which are meant to assists millions of Malawi.
Chizuma added that people are given power to manage the resources to help Malawians and not to steal the funds to build their own houses, go on holidays abroad or to send their children to expensive schools.
“You are in those positions because Malawians trusted you and the same Malawians will take action if you abuse this trust,” said Chizuma.
On delays in prosecution of cases, Chizuma said Government has introduced financial crimes courts which will be handling cases of corruption and this will help in speeding up of cases to ensure that those who are corrupt will face the law.
She further stated that the bureau has finalized a strategy on conducting lifestyle audits and the bureau has so far conducted some audits which have found ill-gotten property such as houses and the bureau is doing everything possible to ensure that such property is given back to the state.
Speaking during the event, President Lazarus Chakwera said there is nothing romantic about the fight against corruption since it a costly and dangerous fight.
He added that those who engage in corruption will do everything, including violence and murder, to shake those who fight against corruption.
“They will not lay down their weapons and simply surrender. They will not come here and shake hands and make peace,” said Chakwera.

KDRTV has confirmed that Mali transitional President and premier have been released after they were detained by the military following the disputed cabinet reshuffle.
The information about their freedom was released by senior government officials on Thursday.
Their freedom came three days after President Bah Ndaw and prime Minister Moctar Ouane were detained and stripped of their powers in what seemed to be the country`s second coup in nine months
“The interim president and prime minister were released overnight around 1.30 am [local time]. We were true to our word,” the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
KDRTV talked to the family who confirmed that President Bah and prime Minister Ouane had been freed.
The duo has returned to their home in Bamako, however, we did not clearly establish the conditions of their release.
The recent developments have emerged after the military officials said that the country`s transitional president and vice president had resigned while they were in detention.
However, the United Nations called the move unacceptably
The freed President and Prime Ministry were charged with the role of overseeing the return of civilian rule after a military coup in the country.
They were detained by Col. Goita who organized the previous coup after he was dissatisfied about the recent cabinet reshuffle.
In the past few days, United Nations, African Union, and the US and other international bodies have been compelling the military to release the detained officials unconditionally.
Mali is among the African country that are currently on the list of the countries with unstable governments

Leader of Opposition in the Delhi Assembly V.K. Malhotra on Thursday said following the filing of a Special Report by the Delhi Lokayukta in the Rajiv Ratan Awas Yojana case, Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit has lost the moral right to continue in office. He said the Lokayukta's report has also brought the office of the Prime Minister and the Union Home Minister under the cloud.
Prof. Malhotra said false promises were made by the Chief Minister about 60,000 houses being ready under the scheme ahead of the last Assembly elections.
Averring that the Lokayukta had found that the Chief Minister had made false claims and recommended to the President that she censured in the matter, the senior BJP leader said the recommendations sent by the Home Ministry and the Prime Minister's Office in the matter were not correct.
Now, he said, the Lokayukta has categorically stated that the report sent to the President was not correct. “The Lokayukta has declared the report to be incorrect and it was sent to the President to just save the Chief Minister,'' Prof. Malhotra claimed.
The BJP leader also castigated the Centre for resorting to double standards on the issue of strengthening the offices of the Lokayukta. “While the Central Government repeatedly asserts its intention to strengthen the Lokayukta, it throws the reports of Lokayukta given on different occasions against the Chief Minister and her Council of Ministers in the waste-paper basket.''

(MENAFN- IANS) Mumbai, Sep 21 (IANS) Domestic equities declined for the third straight day on Thursday after the US Fed's hawkish stance in its policy meeting.
Nifty continued its downward journey to close with a loss of 159 points (-0.8 per cent) at 19,742 levels, while Sensex plunged 570.60 points (-0.85 per cent) to settle at 66,230, said Siddhartha Khemka, Head of Retail Research at Motilal Oswal Financial Services.
Selling was seen across the sector including broader markets. Banking, auto, financial services, and realty were the major losers on Thursday.
The market fell by 2.2 per cent in the last three days amid profit booking at higher levels, Khemka said.
Uncertain global cues and persistent selling by FIIs are likely to keep markets under pressure in the near term. It would be better to prefer defensive sectors for some time until the market stabilises. Investors should also take cues from the Bank of England's interest rate decision that is due later on Thursday, he added.
Kunal Shah, Senior Technical & Derivative Analyst at LKP Securities, said that Bank Nifty experienced a significant correction during the day, with the banking benchmark index dropping below the 45,000-mark for the first time in several days.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is signalling bearishness with a bearish crossover on the daily timeframe. In the short term, it could potentially move towards 44,000 on the lower end, while encountering resistance at 45,000 on the higher end, Shah said.

Arab League Council Holds Emergency Meeting on Status of Jerusalem
(MENAFN- Saudi Press Agency)
Cairo, Rabi'I 17, 1439, December 05, 2017, SPA -- Arab League Secretary General Ahmad Abul-Gheit has called on the administration of US President Donald Trump to shun any practices that could alter the political or legal status of Jerusalem.
During his remarks in a statement to an emergency meeting of the regional bloc at the level of permanent delegates, the Arab League Secretary General underlined that the "fate of Jerusalem was near and dear to the hearts of all Arab."
"We expect a sound decision by the Trump administration reflecting the US position as a superpower that fosters peace," he said, adding that the Arab League "would keep following this issue."
The meeting comes amid reports that Trump administration is considering moving the US embassy in Israel to Jerusalem, a move that would carry serious political implications and derail any possible Middle East peace plan, League chief added.
Abul-Gheit pointed out that if the Trump administration's plan to shift the US embassy to Jerusalem comes to fruition, then that would "leave a glaring question mark over US commitment to the two-state solution." He warned of "grave consequences" if the US goes ahead with the plan to move its embassy to Jerusalem.

to those who are trying to or trying not to
to those who can and those who can’t
or who still wonder whether to
to those who know they don’t want to

to those who are but didn’t expect to be

Here’s to the women who are people too
and wish not to be defined by being a mother
or not being one
Here’s to the people and institutions and legislations and communities supporting whatever choice is made.
Here’s to the people who have to make that choice.

LAGOS—DIRECTOR-GENERAL of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency, NIMASA, Dr Dakuku Peterside, has said that the Cabotage Vessel Financing Fund, CVFF, has slightly over-shot the $100 million instead of the $100 billion currently being speculated.
Peterside who disclosed this in Lagos, said the money was intact, noting that the non-disbursement of the fund was the responsibility of the Minister of Transportation.
He said the minister’s refusal to disburse the fund was due to the absence of a proper guideline and procedure to do so.
The CVFF is a two per cent contribution by indigenous ship-owners for every contract ship-owners execute and is meant for the development of cabotage fleet and local shipping capacity.
Despite complaints by the indigenous ship-owner over the non-disbursement of the funds, the minister had told them at their end of year workshop and dinner with the theme: “Giving Critical Lifeline To The Nigerian Maritime Industry,” that he will not release the funds.
Meanwhile, the NIMASA boss also frowned at the fact that the international community misrepresents kidnapping, theft, breaking of pipelines, as piracy, noting that efforts were being made to enlightening the International Maritime Bureau, IMB on these developments.
He stated that the Federal Government was working to track the issue of piracy on three fronts, which are the legal framework, acquisition of military hardware and regional integration.
On the issue of law, the NIMASA boss said that the frame work was completed and before the National Assembly.
He noted that when the law is finally passed, Nigeria will be the first country in Africa to have such law in place against piracy.
He explained that the $195 million contract with the Israeli firm is to help procure security equipment and assist in training Nigerian security personnel in tackling crime along the nation’s waterways.
The NIMASA helmsman also said that the response time for such incidents was not fast enough and will be one of the things that would be worked on.


BBC Arabia faces accusations it withholds payments from guests
(MENAFN) BBC Arabic was blamed in the past week for not paying its funders for two years after one of the guests stopped a live meeting to discuss the matter.
Mehdi Eliefifi, the political analyst, was brought to present on a BBC Arabic news briefing regarding the issue between Russia and Ukraine when he stopped his comment to talk about the failed payments trouble.
He stated, “The important matter I want to discuss now is that BBC Arabic hasn’t paid us any dues for two years,” while referring to analysts on the channel’s program.
He carried a paper before the camera with the names of BBC’s executives, written in English and Arabic, with the question “where are my financial dues that haven’t been paid for two years?”
BBC Arabic released an update addressing Arab News on Twitter, stating “To clarify the issue of the symbolic payments owed to some of the BBC’s guests, we conducted further investigations and we are aware of a technical defect in the payment mechanism within the institution, which led to the delay in the dues of some guests. Therefore, we apologize for the delay to all those affected by this matter and assure that we are working hard to solve this case as soon as possible.”

The government has announced its plans to increase well-being among the UK workforce by offering support designed to help Britons with mental health conditions either secure or maintain employment.
Under the new support strategy, a network of mental health coordinators will be launched in every Jobcentre Plus district to help speed up the coordination of health and employment support.
Meanwhile, nine occupational health advice lines will also be piloted, designed to help people stay in work once mental health issues arise.
Commenting on the scheme, secretary of state for work and pensions Yvette Cooper said: “We are also helping employers understand what they can do to help people stay in their jobs and manage their condition so that they don’t have to leave work and fall on to benefits at all.”
Mental health charity Mind stated that unemployment is frequently viewed as “personal failure”, when in reality in many cases people with such issues are let down by employers unwilling to hire someone they perceive will be “more work”.

There are two kinds of people in the world . . .
Those who make your life easier — and those who make it harder.
Those whose presence helps you perform better — and those whose presence makes you do worse.
Those concerned about doing the work — and those concerned about getting the credit.
Those who leave you feeling up — and those who leave you feeling down.
Those who simplify — and those who complicate.
Those who listen when others are talking — and those who wait when others are talking.
Those who give — and those who take.
Those who last — and those who fade.
Which are you?


Prepare to tighten belts
Heading into the session — called by Gov. Kathleen Blanco — legislators knew that there were difficult decisions that had to be made. Nearly $1 billion had to be trimmed from the state’s $18 billion budget — including cuts in such areas as higher education and health care.
There were also issues such as a new law that required building codes — and with them, inspectors — throughout the state, even in rural areas.


UPFA coalition member party – Jathika Hela Urumaya (JHU) and government Minister Champika Ranawaka has said he is ashamed and angered about the present state of affairs in the country and of the multiple chances that were missed by the Rajapaksa regime to change the country’s governance system for the better.
In an interview with the local mainstream Sinhala newspaper, Lankadeepa Ranawaka has pledged they have embarked on a journey to stand up and respond to those who deceived the masses, pointing out that despite the momentous people’s mandate which this government received, the Rajapaksa regime has failed to take concrete steps to do what is best for the country and its people.
“Individuals are not important to us and this government should firstly keep it in their minds. . . This country needs a social, political and economic transformation and we are ready to work with any group that is interested in creating that shift. Even Mahinda Rajapaksa can do it but for that he needs to return to the positions he maintained in 2005,” Ranawaka has stated in the interview adding, “Despite the significant power the present government wields, what have they done? There was plenty of scope to establish the Jana Sabha concept to empower district secretariats and implement changes to the electoral system. But nothing has been done – the government is in a precarious position. . .”
He has gone on to state the government has failed to translate their election triumphs into a political victory.
“The UNP, despite losing the election appears to have won because those who were supporting the government have shifted their support sensing the erosion – the government has lost the support of social groups, entrepreneurs and businessmen who were earlier backing them,” Ranawaka has stated.


Advisor to Prime Minister on Finance and Revenue, Dr. Abdul Hafeez Shaikh, said that the revenue target of Rs. 4.90 trillion for the fiscal year 2020-21 was achievable.
However, he linked it to the decline of the coronavirus pandemic.
Addressing a webinar, organized by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Pakistan (ICAP), on “Pakistan Post-COVID-19 Budget and Economic Measures”, the advisor said that if the virus begins to recede and the economy picks up, the revenue target was achievable.
He added that nothing could be predicted about the coronavirus impact. The losses it inflicted on the national economy have so far been estimated at Rs. 3 trillion. The advisor said that the economy of the country had been progressing well before the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic.
He said that there was no borrowing from State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) during the ongoing financial year while supplementary grants were also not provided, adding that the whole world appreciated the performance of Pakistan economy including Moody’s and Bloomberg.
He said that the philosophy of the budget was not to impose new taxes at a time of economic contraction to save the business community from a further burden. Secondly, he added, the budget had a focus on facilitating common citizens, particularly those most affected by the coronavirus.
The advisor expressed the hope to achieve GDP growth target of over 2 percent set for the upcoming fiscal year 2020-21, adding that if corona-affected countries recover from the pandemic, exports will pick up which will have a positive impact economy of Pakistan.
The advisor said that around 1600 tariff lines were brought down in the federal budget 2020-21 to facilitate the business and import sector whereas there has been a reduction in federal excise duty on many products to facilitate business.
He said that the incumbent government inherited an economic crisis from the previous government and that is why it was forced to go to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and take hard decisions.
He said that the hard decision taken by the government had brought fruitful results and the current account deficit was reduced from the historic high of $20 billion to just $3 billion whereas the stagnant exports were increased and there had also been growth in non-tax revenues.
Meanwhile, speaking on the occasion, Chairperson Federal Board of Revenue (FBR), Nausheen Javaid said that the 17 percent growth in revenue collection was unprecedented in decades.
She said that the tax collection by June end is expected to grow only by about 4 percent due to the corona factor, hence it will have a negative impact on overall growth percentage of 17 percent achieved before the spread of the pandemic.

Barely one in eight people in the UK believe that Brexit has been a success, according to a recent Ipsos survey conducted on the fourth anniversary of Britain leaving the EU. The poll reveals that a majority of 57% view Brexit as a failure, while only 13% consider it to be a success.
The survey also highlights that 70% of the British public believe that Brexit has hurt the UK economy. Furthermore, only 13% believe that it has positively affected the country’s ability to control immigration and its borders, which was a key factor behind the 2016 vote to leave the EU.
Additionally, a majority of respondents believe that Brexit has hurt the future prospects for economic growth in the UK, as well as the country’s standing on the world stage.
Despite the infamous Brexit bus promising an extra £350 million for the NHS, just 11% of those surveyed think that Brexit has had a positive impact on healthcare funding.
Gideon Skinner, head of political research at Ipsos, commented on the findings, stating, “2019 was called the Brexit election, and it was a key factor in Boris Johnson’s victory.
However, there are few signs that it will play as dominant a role in 2024, with Britons’ worries over public services, the cost of living, and borders taking precedence.”
Skinner also noted the shift in attitudes towards Brexit since 2019, especially since the autumn of 2022. Now, the majority of Britons believe that Brexit has hurt the country, and even those who were initially supportive of the decision often feel that it could have been better implemented.
The challenge for the Conservatives, according to Skinner, lies in whether they can reverse the perception that Brexit has damaged important issues that people care about, such as the economy, the NHS, and immigration.

"Tough action" against 300 pilots will be taken by the airlines, said airline sources.
"I have already said that the strike is already over from our side. If the management has to take any action, they will take as per the labour law," said Civil Aviation Minister Ajit Singh.
He had earlier said that alternative plans were being made to ensure that operations of the state-run carrier were normalised in two-three months so that the revival plan could be put in place.
He further said that the management was in touch with the 500 expat pilots.
Lashing at the pilots, he said that the strike was illegal and "without any logic" and it was clear that "they don't want to work with this organisation (Air India)."
"I have maintained that there will be no victimisation, we will not be vindictive," he said on the fact that the strike was still continuing.
"What they are doing is inexplicable .... I don't know what they are expecting," he said.

Sindh Information and Law Adviser Barrister Murtaza Wahab has censured the federal government for its decision to levy sales tax on private hospitals in the country.
In a statement issued on Thursday, he said that the ineligible federal government of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf had selected the health sector of the country as a source to generate more income.
The provincial law adviser said that serving sales tax notices to the privately-run hospitals was tantamount to massive injustice with the people of Pakistan. The gas and electricity utility companies had been directed to levy standard sales tax on the hospitals, he said, adding that it would cause deterioration in the provision of health care services in the country.
Wahab said the Pakistan Peoples Party ruling in Sindh had never disturbed the public service sectors. He said that the federal government should act sensibly and immediately withdraw its decision to levy sales tax on the hospitals.


Officials in the Indian state of Assam are asking about 300 police officers who they deem to have an alcohol problem to quit the force.

Mr Sarma had earlier vowed to “cut the deadwood out of the police force”.
Several Assam officers have been suspended for drunken outbursts while on duty, the Times of India reports.
Similar programmes were being implemented in other states, Mr Sarma said.
“It is an old rule, but we had not implemented it earlier,” he said.
On Thursday, the chief minister stated that “obese” officers and those who have corruption cases hanging over them should also be asked to take voluntary redundancy.
He also instructed police chiefs to make sure their officers were staying fit.

Deliveroo has revealed that the UK’s appetite for food delivery has continued to grow, with more than 80% of customers ordering deliveries as much as or more than they were than a year ago, despite lockdown restrictions lifting.
The second annual Deliveroo ‘Share of Stomach‘ report provides expert insights into the growth of the market, consumer attitudes to food delivery, what drives their ordering habits and how they have been impacted by the pandemic.
The report reveals that the past two years of the pandemic have had a huge impact on UK consumer spending and customer behaviour, with more than half of customers (56%) more worried about their personal finances than before the pandemic.
A further 56% say they are holding back on major purchases, which the report highlights often means that food continues to play an important role in allowing people to reward themselves.
People have also become more health-conscious during the pandemic, with 62% of adults saying they are more concerned now about their physical and mental health than they were a year ago.
Nutrition and environmental concerns are also increasingly driving consumers decisions, with 60% of UK customers looking to control what they eat and 82% trying vegan food. Of those describing themselves as vegan, 26% are doing so for sustainability reasons, with 30% making the dietary change in the past year.
As a result of these changing attitudes towards food, Deliveroo has seen a 117% increase in demand for vegan food over the last twelve months. There are now 15,000 plant-based and vegan-friendly restaurants and grocers available in the UK on Deliveroo.
“Even with restrictions now lifted, it’s clear that the appetite for food delivery is here to stay,” said Deliveroo’s chief business officer Carlo Mocci.
“Understanding exactly what customers want, and how their tastes and ordering habits have changed over the past couple of years, is going to be vital.”

As many as seven COVID-19 patients, who were on ventilator support due to their critical condition, died at King Koti Hospital here on Sunday.
Relatives of the patients alleged that delay in the oxygen supply is the reason behind these deaths.
The oxygen tanker which was supposed to come to the King Koti Hospital was accidentally diverted to another hospital, the police have confirmed.
Speaking to ANI over the phone, Additional Superintendent of King Koti Hospital, Dr Jalaja said that all the seven patients were in critical condition due to COVID-19 infection and hence they have been put on ventilators.
"All the seven have been in critical health conditions due to the COVID-19 infection and for this, they were put on a ventilator. The deaths have not taken place at one time, but over the day, all the seven have lost their lives," she said.

KSA- Top cleric: Iran film 'distortion of Islam'
(MENAFN- Gulf Times) Saudi Arabia's top cleric hit out at the Iranian film Muhammad yesterday, describing its portrayal of the Prophet's childhood as a "hostile act" and a "distortion" of Islam.
Iran's most expensive movie, which opened nationwide in the Islamic Republic last week, depicts the Prophet on screen, an act that is prohibited in Islam.
"This is an obscene work... It is a distortion of Islam," Saudi Arabia's Grand Mufti Abdulaziz al-Sheikh told Al Hayat newspaper. "It is a hostile act against Islam.
"This is a mockery of the Prophet and a degradation of his status," he said.
The Makkah-based Muslim World League also condemned the movie, insisting that portraying the Prophet is prohibited.
The league's secretary general Abdullah al-Turki urged Tehran to "suspend and prevent the screening of the movie" and called on Muslims to boycott it.
Directed by Majid Majidi, the 171-minute film cost around $40mn, partly funded by the state, and took more than seven years to complete.
