Plenty of US companies are pitching in to help with the coronavirus effort.

Fanatics - who sell US sports team merchandise - has remade itself into a gown and mask manufacturer for hospitals.

Clothing companies like Gap and Hanes are making gowns and scrubs. Ford and General Motors are repurposing car fans and batteries to make ventilators. Boeing and Apple are making face shields. Luxury brands and distilleries are producing hand sanitiser.

But is there a downside?

The White House has been notably hands-off when it comes to establishing any co-ordinated, centralised response, says Nada Sanders, professor of supply chain management at Northeastern University.

This has led to a free-for-all, as local governments and hospitals competed to buy products or find donations, scam artists emerged, and prices skyrocketed.

"Pure capitalism [can] serve as an incentive," said Sanders. "I really applaud the companies, but I also find it even more frustrating because I see the chaos."

We reported earlier that Turkish Interior Minister Süleyman Soylu was resigning over a botched curfew. Well now President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has stepped in to say he refuses to accept the resignation.

"He will continue his duty," a spokesperson for the president said.

Soylu had submitted his resignation over the announcement of a two-day curfew to stem the spread of Covid-19 that critics say led to panic and confusion.

Police are investigating after personal protective equipment (PPE) was stolen from an NHS building in Manchester.

They were called to the Care Homes Medical Practice in Salford - which cares for patients living in nursing and residential homes - soon before 08:00 BST on Sunday.

Laptops and petty cash were also taken.

A spokesperson for Salford Royal NHS Foundation Trust said: "We are shocked and saddened that one of our community bases has been burgled and belongings stolen, including some items of PPE equipment.

"We will support Greater Manchester Police in their ongoing inquiries."

The deal agreed by oil producing countries to cut output by nearly 10% will see a reduction of about 9.7 million barrels per day, starting from 1 May 2020.

US President Donald Trump and Kuwait's energy minister Dr Khaled Ali Mohammed al-Fadhel tweeted the news, while Saudi Arabia's energy ministry and Russia's state news agency Tass both separately confirmed the deal.

Global oil demand is estimated to have fallen by a third as more than three billion people are locked down in their homes due to the coronavirus outbreak.

Apart from wolfing down chocolate, Easter Sunday means one thing for children in the Scottish city of Edinburgh.

That's right, the annual tradition of egg rolling. Not even coronavirus could stop Edinburgh's children from partaking in the fun this year.

Ingenuity was required, though, as children had to come up with inventive ways to roll their eggs in the confines of their homes.

Parents told the BBC their children had a cracking time.

The interior minister for Turkey has resigned over the announcement of a two-day curfew this weekend that critics say caused panic and confusion.

Süleyman Soylu said he took full responsibility for the curfew, which was implemented with the “good intention” of stemming the spread of coronavirus.

The Turkish government said late on Friday that people living in 31 major cities would not be allowed to leave their homes for 48 hours from midnight.

Shops were reportedly overwhelmed in the wake of the announcement, as people rushed to buy food and other essentials before the curfew came into effect.

The abrupt announcement of the lockdown drew criticism, with many saying it heightened the risk of spreading coronavirus as people hurriedly descended on shops.

“I acted in good faith to prevent the epidemic spreading,” Soylu, an ally of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, wrote on Twitter, external.

“The scenes that occurred before the lockdown began, even for a short time, are my responsibility.”

As of Sunday, Turkey has reported more than 52,000 cases of coronavirus, a number that is rising fast.

Classical star Andrea Bocelli has held an Easter concert in Milan, singing alone at the city's famous cathedral.

The concert, called Music for Hope, was live-streamed on YouTube and prompted an outpouring of support and gratitude on social media as millions of people around the world celebrate Easter under lockdown.

"Thanks to music, streamed live, bringing together millions of clasped hands everywhere in the world, we will hug this wounded Earth's pulsing heart, this wonderful international forge that is reason for Italian pride," Bocelli said as the stream began.

For his finale, Bocelli sang Amazing Grace outside of the cathedral, facing the empty streets of Milan. Clips of the performance were shared by fans, celebrities, and politicians from around the world.

Actor Hugh Jackman joined thousands in thanking the singer, saying his music was "exactly what we needed".

An unauthorised Easter Mass was discovered by Paris police late on Saturday night, according to AFP news agency.

Religious services are banned in France because of the coronavirus crisis, which has killed more than 14,000 people in the country.

The traditional Saint-Nicolas-du-Chardonnet Catholic church went ahead with their Mass - with about 40 people in attendance.

Local residents reported hearing music to police.

The priest was warned and booked - meaning he could face a 200 euros (£176) fine - but the worshippers were not cautioned by the police.

Most churches in the United States were empty today - but for some of them it was business as usual.

Those who have not closed their buildings say they can protect their members by checking temperatures, sanitising sanctuaries and spacing worshippers six feet apart.

And in at least eight states, stay-at-home orders do not apply to religious organisations - sometimes after legal battles.

Some see a ban on church services as a violation of religious liberties guaranteed by the US constitution.

Oil-producing countries have agreed to a deal to cut global production by almost 10% in response to the coronavirus pandemic.

The price of oil has slumped this year because of the crisis.

The negotiations included the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), Russia, the United States of America and Mexico.

It amounts to a worldwide reduction of about 9.7 million oil barrels every day from 1 May.

It could also mark the end of a price war between Saudi Arabia and Russia.

UK Business Secretary Alok Sharma has admitted that "more money needs to go out faster" to businesses applying for emergency loans from the government.

He said 4,200 loans, worth a total of £800m, had been given to firms seeking cash to survive the coronavirus crisis.

However, that is just 1.4% of the 300,000 enquiries that are thought to have been made through the scheme.

There are a lot of unforeseen consequences of the coronavirus lockdown - and one is more people suffering eye injuries from doing DIY.

Oxford Eye Hospital said it had seen an increase in injuries and people who needed operations.

The hospital saw six "traumatised eyes" in a week, but would usually see one no more than every two to three weeks. It urged people to wear eye protection while doing DIY or gardening.

The hospital added wearing glasses instead of contact lenses would also protect the eyes and reduce the chance of spreading coronavirus.

Consultant Stella Hornby said: "Wearing glasses at the moment reduces the risk of contact lens-related complications, and reduces the need to touch your face."

The review of the lockdown measures is due this week. It was the prime minister who originally talked about the three-week timetable from when the measures were first brought in.

Dominic Raab is the first Secretary of State, which means he is effectively the prime minister's deputy, and he was asked to deputise when the prime minister was admitted to intensive care.

He will be in charge of the government this week as it looks to decide whether to continue with lockdown measures. I’d say the mood music, the expectation, is that the measures will continue.

Health officials and ministers have said the social-distancing measures have had an effect, but it is still time to bear down on the virus, cut transmission rates and therefore save lives.

You may be wondering why the number of coronavirus-related deaths have been starkly different from country to country during the pandemic.

When comparing statistics, it is important to remember that every country has had a different experience of the pandemic for a range of factors.

Johns Hopkins University, which has been collating coronavirus data, says these factors include the relative testing regimes, demographics and healthcare resources of each country.

It says the mortality rate is “one of the most important ways to measure the burden of Covid-19”.

The university has been tracking mortality rate in the 10 worst-affected countries., external It has done so in two different ways: per 100 confirmed virus cases and per 100,000 population.

The data paints a bleak picture for European countries.

The top three countries with the most deaths per 100,000 people are Spain (35.5), Italy (32.2) and Belgium (29.2), the university says.

Conversely, the top three countries with the most deaths per 100 confirmed virus cases are Italy (12.8%), the UK (12.4%) and Belgium (11.9%), it says.

France has reported a slight drop in the number of hospital deaths and patients in intensive care, as its health ministry said the country’s coronavirus epidemic had reached a “plateau”.

The country recorded 315 additional hospital deaths in the last 24 hours, a drop from the 353 announced on Saturday.

That brings the total number of coronavirus-related deaths in hospitals and care homes to 14,393 in France, the third highest in the world.

There was another glimmer of hope, however.

The net number of patients with Covid-19 in intensive care dropped for the fourth consecutive day, bringing the total down to 6,845.

France’s health ministry said the epidemic appeared to be plateauing but stressed caution, saying: "We must remain vigilant."

A public health campaign in Manitoba is using a raven puppet to deliver a message in the Cree language, which is spoken by more than 100,000 indigenous people in Canada.

Often government messages are not successful in remote indigenous communities because they use foreign concepts or language, researcher Steph McLachlan told Canadian broadcaster CBC, external.

Funded by the Covid-19 Rapid Response Program, the new campaign uses a raven puppet to promote handwashing and social distancing.

The raven is known traditionally as an environmental protector and cleaner. But the videos are also humorous, and it is hoped will reach people who have not yet heard about the virus.
