A 33-year-old woman has become the first person to be fitted with an electronic ankle tracker under the state’s extended safety laws in isolation from the corona virus in Perth, Western Australia.

More on Corona Virus Cases India Record Increase.
The Ministry of Health of India has confirmed a further 1,201 deaths, bringing the total death toll in the country to 77,472.
Although India is now testing more than a million people a day, experts say limited and controlled testing could obscure the true footprint of the epidemic.
The country’s recovery rate is 77.7%, according to the Ministry of Health.
“The gap between the percentage of cases recovered and the number of active cases is gradually widening,” the ministry said.
Maharashtra, the home state of Mumbai, the financial capital, has 28,000 Kovit-19 deaths, and the number of cases has crossed 1 million.
The country’s economy contracted by almost 24% in the second quarter, making it the worst of the world’s top economies.

UN calls for “comprehensive and integrated response to Covid 19 epidemic” The United States and Israel have voted against the resolution.
Agency France-Press reports that the resolution includes recognizing the leading role of the World Health Organization.
The resolution was adopted by a majority of 169 out of 193 countries.
The text, called the Almighty Resolution, which covers many aspects of the epidemic, acknowledges the “key role of the WHO and the fundamental role of the United Nations in catalyzing the comprehensive global response to the Covid-19 epidemic.”
The United States withdrew from the WHO this spring, accusing it of mismanaging the corona virus infection and delaying the issuance of a global alert.
Text “Intensifies international cooperation and solidarity to control, mitigate and overcome the epidemic.”
In the run-up to the referendum, the United States failed to remove a passage on protecting women in sexual and reproductive health over objections to abortion.
Libya and Iraq voted to remove the passage. However more than 120 countries voted to have it, 25 countries voted in favor.

Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has said that Cricket Australia players have been given special permission to train in isolation at the Adelaide Oval.
The team, currently based in Manchester, England, will soon return to Australia, but it is unknown in which city they will fly.
Perth were initially in the lead, but the Western Australian players made it clear that the tough hotel had been locked for fifteen days.
South Australia has now confirmed that players and staff will be staying at the Oval Hotel, built east of the Adelaide Oval.
The hotel and stadium will become a life-saving bubble under a plan taken by the South Australian government, the Adelaide Oval administration and the South Australian Cricket Association.
“The CA is committed to running a safe and successful summer, and today’s agreement with the authorities in South Australia is a positive step towards achieving that,” said CA Interim Chief Executive Nick Hawkley.
“The health and safety of the South Australian community is our highest priority and the guiding principle in our program.
“There’s a lot to look forward to this summer, and a lot of work is going on behind the scenes to make sure it happens.”
These arrangements apply to other players, including the visiting Indian team, who will arrive in Australia later this year.
The four Test matches between Australia and India are currently scheduled to start in Brisbane on December 3-7, but the contestants are now expected to start that series at the Adelaide Oval in mid-December.
