Anthony Fauci, American’s Director of National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, has warned that the US could face a surge of coronavirus cases in the coming weeks.

Mr Fauci told CNN that the surge would be ‘almost certain’, due to millions of Americans travelling for Thanksgiving weekend.

The United States is the worst affected country, with 266,074 coronavirus deaths.

Just a few days after footballer Diego Maradona’s death, the Argentinian police investigated his doctor, Leopoldo Leuque in search of elements that would prove potential medical negligence.

The footballer died of a heart attack last week, just a month after he undertook a brain operation in which Dr Leuque was involved in.

The search order was requested by prosecutors in the affluent Buenos Aires suburb of San Isidro and signed by a local judge, but the prosecutor's office provided no information on what prompted the investigation.

63 international students from Japan, China, Hong Kong and Vietnam are the first cohort to touch down in Darwin since March this year.

The group will be immediately transferred from Darwin to the Howard Springs quarantine facility where they will undergo 14 days of hotel quarantine.

TransLink will introduce a new app mid-December that should inform travellers about capacity on the state’s public transport to improve social distancing.

As more people head back to the office, it’s becoming trickier to spread commuters out on public transport and this new app should enable them to see a forecast of available capacity  on all bus, tram, train and ferry services across south-east Queensland.

Transport Minister Mark Bailey said the tracker is one way to give people confidence that their next trip will be safe.
