Coronavirus: Six killed in Italian prison riot against New rules, US Senator quarantined.

 

Six prisoners have lost their lives after a riot that was sparked by protests over an emergency law to prevent the spread of coronavirus in Italian prisons.

About 60 inmates in Modena, Italy, set fire to the prison during an uprising that went on for hours, as reported by the country’s government officials.

 

In the ensuing confrontation, six inmates have since died and others have been injured as a result.

 

The rules include, among other things, prohibiting family visits to contain the spread of infection.

 

Inmates in prisons in Poggioreale in Naples in the south, Modena in the north, Frosinone in central Italy and in Alexandria in northwestern Italy have all revolted over the New rules which the interprate as oppressive and infringing on their basic human rights.

TENSIONS

“We had already warned tensions were growing in prisons, and that we feared it could end in tragedy, All necessary measures must be taken to ensure prisoners their full rights, stopping this escalation..the Italian civil rights group Antigone said in a press release, following the deaths.

Wounded prison officers

In Modena, two prison officers were injured and about 80 inmates have been transferred to other prisons after the riots, as reported by The Prison Officers’ Union, Sappe.

Senator Ted Cruz quarantined

The move comes after the senator’s contact with a coronavirus infected individual

The US Republican party senator briefly interacted with a conservative event participant who tested positive for the disease

 

The Senator issued a statement on Sunday 8, which states that he had officialy decided to enter a period of quarantine after his contact with a person infected with the new coronavirus.

The contact took place during the CPAC (Conservative Political Action Conference), one of the main conservative events in the world that took place between February 26th and 29th this year. The senator stated that interaction with the person infected with COVID-19 was very brief.

In the statement he released on Sunday, Cruz stated that the interaction happened 10 days ago and he hadn’t experienced any symptoms so far.

He said he held a brief conversation with the individual and they also shook hands.

 

“I’m not experiencing any symptoms, and I feel fine and healthy. Given that the interaction was 10 days ago, that the average incubation period is 5-6 days, that the interaction was for less than a minute, and that I have no current symptoms, the medical authorities have advised me that the odds of transmission from the other individual to me were extremely low,” Cruz said in the statement.
