Slovakia's new prime minister and members of his recently formed cabinet donned protective masks for a press conference on Saturday.

Prime Minister Igor Matovic announced the cabinet appointments just a day after his Ordinary People party agreed to form a coalition with three other political parties, following February's elections.

With Slovakia battling a coronavirus outbreak, the parties have fast-tracked negotiations to form a new government.

More than 30 cases have been confirmed in the country, and national borders have been closed to all foreigners except those with a residence permit.

A group of Dutch scientists believe they’ve found an antibody that could help to detect and prevent the coronavirus from being able to infect people.

It hasn’t been tested on humans - a process that will take months.

The researchers at the Erasmus Medical Centre and Utrecht University describe their discovery as an antibody to Sars2, the coronavirus causing the current pandemic (Covid-19).

The scientists were already working on an antibody for Sars1 and when the new coronavirus broke out, they said they had found that the same antibodies cross-reacted and blocked the infection.

Their findings are still being reviewed and the antibody is yet to be rigorously tested.

The researchers are hoping to convince a pharmaceutical company to support its mass production as a medicine which they believe would detect and prevent the spread of the virus.

A separate Covid-19 vaccine could take years to develop - by which point the virus may have disappeared.

Ten more people have died in the UK, bringing the total number of deaths to 21.

All patients were in "at-risk" groups, making them more vulnerable to the effects of the virus, the UK's chief medical officer Chris Whitty said.

The people were being cared for in hospitals in nine areas, including London, Birmingham and Leicester, north Middlesex and Chester.

The total number of confirmed cases in the UK has risen to 1,140, the NHS said, up from 798 on Friday.

Several Arab countries have stepped up measures to try to prevent the spread of coronavirus.

Saudi Arabia and Kuwait have cancelled all international flights, while the UAE has stopped flights to Lebanon, Iraq, Syria and Turkey.

All Gulf Arab states have confirmed coronavirus cases, but they remain relatively limited for now. No deaths have yet been reported and most of the cases have been traced back to Iran, which is the regional hotspot for the virus where the official death toll has risen to more than 600.

In addition to suspending flights, the UAE is no longer issuing visas and has closed tourist attractions such as its branch of the Louvre, while Dubai has banned hotels from holding weddings.

Saudi Arabia has cancelled sports events, which have recently become a major selling point of its nascent tourism industry.

In war-ravaged Yemen, the Houthi rebels have effectively blocked vital UN flights after closing Sanaa aiport.

It appears that President Trump startled Google when he announced on Friday night that it had 1,700 engineers working on a website to help determine who should get coronavirus tests and where.

"It’s going to be very quickly done...they have made tremendous progress," said the president.

Google's PR team has since clarified that its sister company, Verily Life Sciences, is working on such a tool, but that it is only at the "early stages of development".

The tech firm added that while it intended to start testing it in the San Francisco Bay Area soon - possibly at the start of next week - it would take time to expand its provision across the country.

The Verge news site has some additional details, external, based on its own conversation with Verily.

Google's chief executive Sundar Pichai blogged last week that Verily was also developing a body-worn patch, external. It would communicate with an app to help monitor the symptoms of Covid-19 and other infections in the elderly and others, but this will probably take even longer to come to fruition.

Photos of emptied shelves in the UK, US and Australia have become commonplace in recent days, but the chaotic scene in one supermarket in north London has shocked social media users. Michelle Davies criticised other shoppers for leaving nothing for other customers.

The UK government says panic buying is unncessary and has promised that supermarkets won't run out of supplies. Several shops have imposed quotas on essential items including toilet paper and hand-sanitiser.

Meanwhile a former MP has appealed for a "national kindness effort" after seeing a man in another north London supermarket refusing to give an elderly woman one of the last packets of pasta in the store.

The total number of deaths in the UK from coronavirus has almost doubled in the past 24 hours, going up from 11 to 21, the National Health Service says.
