| Professor Tsiordas and Minister Hardalias |
Every day at 6 pm, Greeks gather around their tv sets to watch two men, seated several metres apart on a long table. The Health Ministry's daily briefing begins with Sotiris Tsiordas, a soft-spoken, professor of infectious diseases, trained at Harvard, giving the latest facts and figures about the coronavirus in Greece and Nikos Hardalias, the Minister of Civil Defence, usually speaking about the gravity of the situation, warning that we must all stay at home.
The professor and the minister are the persons who are associated with the Greek government's drive to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Their efforts of keeping the country as virus-free as possible are paying off, In a population of just over 11 million, there are 2.245 cases and 116 fatalities, far lower than anywhere in Europe.

| Prime Minister Boris Johnson |
Boris Johnson has told colleagues that he is very cautious about easing lockdown restrictions and his genuine concern about a possible second wave of coronavirus pandemic, which must be strictly prevented.
The prime minister, who is recovering from Covid-19, after several days in intensive care, held a two-hour meeting with the foreign secretary, his senior advisor, and the director of communications, asking their opinion about combatting the disease.
The Duke and Duchess of Essex repeatedly pleaded Meghan's father to talk to them after he announced that he would not attend their wedding, according to court papers. The duchess has revealed intimate details of their attempts to "make it right" during the traumatic days after Thomas Markle was exposed for "staging fake paparazzi photos", pleading with him by text.to pick up the phone.
The conversations were disclosed in court papers filed as part of the duchess's legal actions against The Mail on Sunday, a newspaper which she is suing over false publications.
