India re-opens, Emirates continues flight suspension
India’s capital of New Delhi and financial hub Mumbai have begun a gradual easing of restrictions as coronavirus infections in the country fell to a two-month low.
India on Monday reported 100,636 new infections – after several days of 400,000-plus cases in May – and 2,427 deaths.
The recent outbreak of COVID-19 in the nation has seen hospitals filled to capacity with severe shortages of oxygen and other critical medicines.
The huge spike saw India report record-breaking numbers of cases and deaths to become the second worst-hit nation after the United States, with just under 29 million infections.
“We have to stay safe from corona infection and also bring the economy back on track,”
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal
Emirates continues flight suspension to and from India
The news of the reopening comes as Emirates extends its suspension of passenger flights until the end of June.
In a statement, the airline said they remain concerned with the growing number of covid infections in the nation.
Middle Eastern rival Etihad Airways is set to lift its ban a few weeks earlier, marking June 14th as a resume date.

Australia shuts millions of teen social media accounts
Australia’s social media ban leads to 4.7 million teen account closures, prompting debate over online safety and freedom.
Australia’s social media ban leads to 4.7 million teen account closures, prompting debate over online safety and freedom.
Nearly five million social media accounts belonging to Australian teenagers have been closed since the nation’s social media ban began in December. Platforms such as Instagram and TikTok were responsible for removing around 4.7 million accounts held by minors, according to the eSafety Commissioner.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese described the figures as encouraging, highlighting the government’s commitment to protecting children online. The new law holds social media companies accountable, with fines imposed on platforms that fail to prevent underage accounts from being created or maintained.
Despite these measures, some teenagers have reportedly bypassed the restrictions by falsifying their ages or using parental information. The debate continues over the effectiveness of these regulations and the balance between safety and online freedom.
