Hungary has officially recorded 980 confirmed cases and 66 deaths in the pandemic, although the government has acknowledged the number of actual cases is probably much higher as the country nears the phase of mass infections. The country introduced stay at home orders last month. That order was about to expire over the Easter weekend, when Hungarians traditionally visit family and men go around playfully spraying women with water or cologne in a fertility ritual. "This Easter will differ from the ones we know," Orban said in a video recorded in his office and posted on his Facebook page. "The curfew restrictions have been reasonable and successful as they have slowed the spread of the epidemic." The government would review the need to maintain the lockdown each week, Orban said, adding that municipal governments would be allowed to impose special restrictions that ensure local communities are protected. As spring weather arrived in recent days, Hungarians sought out leisure spots, prompting mayors and local councils to plead everyone to stay away. More than 100 people were infected in a Budapest retirement home, Surgeon General Cecilia Muller said. The state news agency MTI quoted Muller as saying five of those people have died.

Since 2000, 34 of Iowa's 118 community hospitals have closed their birthing units, according to the Iowa Department of Public Health. There have been two so far this year, down from eight closures last year the most in a single year. Most of those closures have happened at smaller facilities than the 49-bed Marshalltown hospital. Iowa's aging population is a key reason for these closures, Dr. Stephen Hunter, vice chairman of obstetrics at the University of Iowa Hospital & Clinics in Iowa City, told Iowa Public Radio . "Some rural counties have lost as many as 40 percent of their population in the last three decades," Hunter said. "That's a lot of people gone, unfortunately. That leaves a system that's not adequate for those that remain in those counties." Hunter said the state is also facing a severe shortage of OB/GYNs and family practice doctors who practice obstetrics. And, he said, Medicaid reimbursements are so low for obstetrics that hospitals can't support the service. According to figures from the University of Iowa Hospitals & Clinics, Medicaid reimbursed it about one-third of what commercial insurance plans did for services such as ultrasounds and deliveries last year. Competition from bigger hospitals in bigger cities presents a business challenge, too. "There simply aren't enough women choosing to deliver locally," UnityPoint Health President Jenni Friedly said. "This is a problem that has been going on for a long time. . There are enough women becoming pregnant, but they are going elsewhere to deliver. It's clear OB/GYN patients are already selecting Ames and Des Moines for their care." Stephanie Trusty, a nurse who tracks birthing trends for the state, told the Marshalltown Times-Republican that "some of these birthing units are beautiful. They're like a four-star hotel." But does the loss of birthing units at the smaller hospitals and consolidation of birthing services affect health outcomes? A 2017 University of Minnesota study said the loss of labor and delivery units in smaller, more remote counties is linked with a decrease in prenatal care and increase in out-of-hospital and preterm births. The Iowa Public Health Department and the University of Iowa are keeping watch for any such problems, but so far have not seen any sizable incidence, Trusty said. Hansen Family Hospital CEO Doug Morse in Iowa Falls told Iowa Public Radio that hospital officials decided labor and delivery care were too expensive to continue in the aging, rural community with a declining birth rate. After three months of public meetings, Morse said, hospital officials opted to use half the money they would save to turn the unit into a mental health program for seniors. "It really did become fairly clear that people recognize that this wasn't necessarily ... delivering babies isn't necessarily a service that matches an elderly population," he said. The closing of the birth unit at the Iowa Falls hospital forced Jessica Sheridan to change her plans to have her baby born there, just five minutes from her home. She established relationships with doctors in Ames, an hour away, where her daughter was delivered in mid-December. "We were lucky. It was nice weather," Sheridan said.

In an open letter to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), a group of 60 scientists and health campaigners from 15 countries said they feared exposure to the chemical Bisphenol-A (BPA) could damage health, particularly among vulnerable groups such as babies and pregnant women. BPA is a mass produced chemical used in the manufacture of polycarbonate plastics. It is found in plastic food and drink packaging, such as baby bottles and sports bottles, and as an epoxy resin in canned food and drinks and storage containers. Some recent scientific studies have linked BPA exposure to higher risks of health problems such heart disease, breast cancer and diabetes. The EFSA is expected to publish a new "scientific opinion" on the safety of Bisphenol A in food packaging next month, after it was asked by the European Commission to re-assess the risks. "Over the last decade and a half, a substantive body amounting to several hundred peer reviewed scientific papers, have been published that have highlighted potential adverse health effects associated with BPA exposures," the letter said. "It is our opinion that any objective and comprehensive review of the scientific literature will lead to the conclusion that action is necessary to reduce the levels of BPA exposure, particularly in groups at highest risk, namely young infants and pregnant mothers." Regulators in Canada and the United States are already beginning to take action on BPA exposure, with Canada planning to ban its use in baby bottles, but as yet there has been no similar action at a European Union level. "It is high time that EFSA caught up to the overwhelming science showing genuine reasons for concern about our daily exposure to BPA," said Lisette van Vliet, an adviser on toxics policy at the Brussels-based Health and Environment Alliance. Some European countries, notably Sweden, Germany, France and Denmark, have made unilateral moves ahead of the EFSA review. Sweden's environment minister said last month that if the EU would not ban BPA in baby bottles, Stockholm would go ahead with a national prohibition. And Germany's environment agency issued new guidance this month calling on manufacturers and importers of BPA to use "alternative substances that pose less risk to human health and the environment in all areas of use that significantly contribute to exposure." Experts estimate that BPA is detectable in the bodies of more than 90 percent of the U.S. and European population. It is one of the world's most widely manufactured chemicals, with more than 2.2 million tonnes produced each year. Andrew Watterson of Britain's Stirling University, one of the signatories to the letter, said hundreds of academic studies had shown the potential risks of BPA and "this should dictate a strong precautionary policy response from European regulators. "If this is not forthcoming, the UK government must intervene as other European countries are already doing so," he said in a statement.
