    • SECTION 1 - TEN NEWS HEADLINES
  1. COVID-19 Updates/Indian Economy - Migrant workers to get free foodgrains A major focus of the second tranche of the economic stimulus package announced by Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman is to provide free foodgrains for the next two months to migrant workers who do not have ration cards. The Centre will spend Rs. 3,500 crore for this purpose. Quoting numbers from State governments, Ms. Sitharaman said there were an estimated eight crore migrant workers who had been housed in government- and privately run relief camps across the country since the lockdown but economists said this intervention was too little, too late, and that the free foodgrain provision should have been universalised to deal with widespread distress.
  2. COVID-19 Updates - Doubling time slows to 13.9 daysIndia recorded another 3,722 COVID-19 cases and 134 deaths on Thursday, pushing the total number of cases to 78,003 and deaths to 2,549, according to the Union Health Ministry. The country has registered an average of over 3500 new cases every day since May 7. Health Minister Harsh Vardhan said in the last three days, the doubling time had slowed down to 13.9 days, while the doubling time in the past 14 days was 11.1 days.
  3. COVID-19 Updates - Work from home may stay for govt. staffPost lockdown, the Union government will continue staggered and variable work hours for its employees with the Personnel Ministry floating a draft consultation paper on best work-from-home practices. The Department of Personnel and Training may provide the option of work from home to eligible officers and other employees for 15 days a year as a matter of policy, the paper said. The department asked the Ministries and departments to send in their suggestions by May 21.
  4. India-Sino Relations - India reminds China of claims over Gilgit-BaltistanThe recent incidents of face-off between the troops of India and China are neither correlated nor have any connection with other global or local activities, Army chief Gen. Manoj Naravane said. The statement was supplemented by official spokesperson of the Ministry of External Affairs Anurag Srivastava who reminded China about India’s claims over Gilgit-Baltistan where China has teamed up with Pakistan to build the Diamer-Bhasha dam.
  5. COVID-19 Updates - Virus may never go away, warns WHO The European Union’s medicines agency suggested that a vaccine for the COVID-19 could be ready in year, even as the World Health Organization (WHO) warned that the disease may never go away. World leaders past and present have insisted that any eventual vaccines and treatments should be made available to everyone free of charge, with the global death toll from the disease nearing 300,000. The pandemic has caused massive social and economic upheaval across the planet and while some nations have begun easing punishing lockdowns, fears of a second wave have kept many businesses shuttered and people confined to their homes.
  6. Asia Politics - Israeli govt. formation delayedPrime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his rival-turned-partner, Benny Gantz, postponed the swearing-in of their controversial new government as the Israeli leader rushed to quell infighting within his Likud party. In a joint announcement, the two men said they would hold a swearing-in ceremony to give Mr. Netanyahu more time to hand out coveted Cabinet appointments to members of his party. After three deadlocked and divisive elections, and a year and a half of political paralysis, Israel had hoped to swear in the new government.
  7. Indian Economy - CBDT notifies reduction in TDS/TCSFollowing Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman’s announcement of a reduction in the rate of tax deducted at source (TDS) and tax collected at source (TCS) for non-salaried payments, the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) notified revised rates that will be applicable from May 14, 2020 to March 31, 2021. Clarifying on why the TDS rate had not been reduced for the salaried class, Finance Secretary Ajay Bhushan Pandey said TDS was deducted from salary after considering various eligible deductions such as 80C of the salaried person. This, he said, had been done to ensure that the salaried individual did not have to bear the burden of paying higher taxes at year end.
  8. Environment and Ecology - Recently Government of Uttar Pradesh has released Gharials (Gavialis gangeticus) in the Ghaghara river for the conservation and protection in natural habitat. Natural Habitat: Fresh waters of the northern part of India. Gharials, sometimes called gavials, are a type of Asian crocodilian distinguished by their long, thin snouts which resembles a pot (ghara in Hindi). Population of Gharials are a good indicator of clean river water.
  9. Environment and Ecology – According to the Global Forest Resources Assessment 2020 (FRA 2020) report, the rate of forest loss has declined in the period of 1990-2020. The FRA is released by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). The FRA 2020 is based on the assessment of more than 60 forest-related variables in 236 countries and territories in the period of 1990–2020. Total forest area: The world’s total forest area is 4.06 billion hectares (bha), which is 31% of the total land area. This area is equivalent to 0.52 hectares per person. Top countries in forest cover — the Russian Federation, Brazil, Canada, the United States of America and China constituted more than 54% of the world’s forests.
  10. Society and Health – Recently, scientists from IIT (Indian School of Mines) Dhanbad and CSIR-Indian Institute of Chemical Biology (Kolkata) have developed the Z-scan method to monitor the origin as well as the progression of Parkinson's disease in human beings. Parkinson’s disease is a chronic, degenerative neurological disorder that affects the central nervous system. It damages nerve cells in the brain dropping the levels of dopamine. Dopamine is a chemical that sends behavioural signals from the brain to the body.

                                • COBAS-6800 is the first automated coronavirus testing device and also the first such testing machine that has been procured by the Government for testing of Covid-19 cases.
                                • It is a fully automated, high end machine for performing Real Time Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) testing for Covid-19. 
                                • It can test around 1200 samples in 24 hours so it will largely increase the testing capacity in the country.
                                • It is a sophisticated machine enabled with robotics that minimizes the chance of contamination as well as the risk of infection to the health care workers.
                                • The machine requires a minimum Biosafety Level 2 (BSL2+) containment level for testing.
                                • BSL2+ covers laboratories that work with agents associated with human diseases (i.e. pathogenic or infectious organisms) that pose a moderate health hazard.
                                • The device can also detect other pathogens like Viral Hepatitis B & C, HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus), Mycobacterium Tuberculosis, Papilloma, Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection, Chlamydia (a bacterial infection), Neisseria (bacteria) etc.

                                    9.1 Defence Ministry patents low cost PPE (personal protective equipment) developed by Navy to move towards its mass production



                                    • A Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) designed and produced by the Indian Navy has been tested and certified for mass production and use in clinical COVID situations.
                                    • A team formed by the Innovation Cell, Institute of Naval Medicine, Mumbai and the Naval Dockyard Mumbai collaborated to design and produce PPE.
                                    • The PPE is required to meet stringent criteria on testing and the benchmarks of the same are set by the Indian Coulcil of Medical Research (ICMR) and the MoHFW.
                                    • The approval was accorded by the Institute of Nuclear Medicine and Allied Sciences (INMAS), an organisation of the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) tasked with the testing and certification of PPE.
                                    • Shortage of PPE for healthcare workers during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has been a major issue.
                                    • The outstanding features of the PPE are its simple, innovative and cost-effective design enabling its manufacture by basic gown manufacturing facilities.
                                    • The PPE has an innovative choice of fabric, which gives it 'breathability' and penetration resistance rendering it both comfortable and safe for the user.
                                    • The cost for this PPE is significantly lower than those commercially available.
                                    • DRDO has made a bio suit for medical professionals to help them fight COVID-19. The bio suit has a unique feature of being prepared by a special sealant as an alternative to seam sealing based on the sealant used in sub-marine applications (and which is rarely available).
