PROBLEM: Attractions such as the Louvre Abu Dhabi museum and the Ferrari World theme park will be closed from March 15-31, the Abu Dhabi Government Media Office said, while the country's civil aviation authority indefinitely suspended flights to and from Lebanon, Turkey, Syria and Iraq from March 17. The UAE, which has reported 85 coronavirus infections but no deaths, and other Gulf Arab states are intensifying measures to halt the virus as the number of cases rises. Saudi Arabia and Kuwait have taken the most drastic steps, cancelling all international flights. Dubai, the UAE's regional business and transit hub, said it was cancelling all events planned in March and asked hotels to stop hosting wedding celebrations. Some shops have voluntarily closed to boost containment efforts. In the capital, Abu Dhabi, cinemas, arcades and entertainment venues have been shuttered, state news agency WAM reported. Seeking to soften the impact of the shutdowns on key sectors such as tourism and transportation, the central bank said its program would help banks and companies weather the crisis. Saudi Arabia also announced $13 billion to support small and medium enterprises. Saudi Arabia, which reported 17 new cases on Saturday bringing its total to 103, said two-week flight suspensions would start on Sunday, while Kuwait did not specify a length for its grounding which began on Saturday. Saudi Arabia has already suspended the Umrah pilgrimage and locked down its eastern Qatif region where many infections are located. On Saturday, it also closed popular family entertainment zones located inside many shopping malls. Health ministry spokesman Mohammed Abdelali urged the population of 30 million to avoid gathering in public, minimize movements and stay at home as much as possible. "(Such) measures slow the growth of cases so that we can control it, while the countries that take delayed measures experience fast growth which the health systems cannot deal with," he told reporters. The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), a group of six oil-rich Arab monarchies which also includes Qatar, Bahrain and Oman, has reported nearly 900 coronavirus cases, mostly in people who had traveled to Iran or who been infected by visitors to Iran. No deaths have been reported in the GCC, unlike Iran where the toll rose by nearly 100 on Saturday to 611, out of 12,729 total infections. Oman, with the lowest number of infections in the region at 20, said on Saturday all schools and educational institutions would close for a month, a precaution also taken by other GCC states and Yemen. Saudi Arabia and Oman canceled all sporting events until further notice, state media said. The UAE will stop issuing visas, except for foreign diplomats, from March 17, WAM reported, citing immigration authorities. Qatar will halt the issuance of visas upon arrival to a number of European nationalities from Sunday, the government communication office said, while the Qatar Olympic Committee suspended all local sports activities until March 29. Qatar confirmed 17 new infections on Saturday, bringing the total number of cases to 337, the highest in the GCC, followed by Bahrain with 211 and Kuwait with 104. Gulf health authorities have stepped up pleas to avoid gatherings and are sanitizing public places. Police in Kuwait used drones fitted with loudspeakers to urge people on the streets to avoid gathering. Health Minister Basel Al-Sabah said on state television: "I urge you by God to stay at home." The competing sides in Yemen's civil war announced airport closures including in the capital Sana'a, a measure that will affect flights operated by United Nations organizations taking part in humanitarian relief efforts.

SOLUTION: UAE cancels events, flights as central bank announces coronavirus fiscal plan.

PROBLEM: The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) said it was investigating 14 fake or unlicensed products to treat COVID-19, the respiratory disease caused by the coronavirus. So far 3,605 Britons have died from the coronavirus, the latest data show, and experts have said deaths will continue to rise until the effect of recent lockdown measures filter through and slow the spread of the disease in the coming weeks. MHRA said it was investigating fake self-testing kits, miracle cures and so-called "antiviral misting sprays". "Don't be fooled by online offers for medical products to help prevent or treat COVID-19," Lynda Scammell, MHRA enforcement official said. "There is no medicine licensed specifically to treat or prevent COVID-19, therefore any claiming to do so are not authorised and have not undergone regulatory approvals required for sale on the UK market." Scammell added that MHRA was working alongside law enforcement agencies to combat the spread of fake and unlicensed medical products.

SOLUTION: Miracle cures? UK investigators go after fake coronavirus medicines.

PROBLEM: Newman's son, Adam, said his mother died Sunday of complications in New York from a longtime lung disorder. Newman won the 1962 Tony for best supporting actress in the musical "Subways Are for Sleeping," where her costume consisted of a bath towel and which had lyrics co-written by her late husband, Adolph Green. She earned a second Tony Award nomination in 1987 for her performance in the Neil Simon play "Broadway Bound." She played Aunt Blanche in the Neil Simon play, then began a brief role in the ABC soap opera "One Life to Live." "I was supposed to do just five episodes of 'One Life to Live,'" she told The Associated Press in 1988. "I played Renee Devine, an ex-madame from Las Vegas who dressed to kill. The character just took off." Her other Broadway credits include "On the Town," Awake and Sing!" and "The Prisoner of Second Avenue." She was standby for Judy Holiday in "Bells Are Ringing" and replaced Barbara Harris in "The Apple Tree." Her television credits include starring opposite Alan Arkin in "100 Centre Street," Oz," "Coming of Age," Murder, She Wrote," thirtysomething" and "The Jury." She was the first woman to be a guest host for Johnny Carson on "The Tonight Show." Her films include "The Human Stain," It Had To Be You," For the Time Being, "A Price Above Rubies," The Beautician and the Beast," Mannequin," To Find a Man" and "Bye Bye Braverman." In later years she focused on fundraising and founded the Phyllis Newman Women's Health Initiative of the Actor's Fund in 1996. Her work earned her the 2009 Isabelle Stevenson Award from the Tony Awards. She also hosted the annual benefit Breathless on Broadway to raise money for research to combat the lung disease pulmonary hypertension. She started writing her autobiography, "Just in Time: Notes From My Life" after being diagnosed with breast cancer. "I started writing it because I didn't want to talk about it. Not that it was a secret. After I had 50 pages down, Simon & Schuster bought it," she said in 1988. "Betty Ford was an example for me in talking about my illness. I'm getting some very terrific letters from women about it." Newman underwent one mastectomy and then had to have her second breast removed. She described it as "no way to treat a lady." Soon after her recovery she went back to work, first in a one-woman show, "The Madwoman of Central Park West" which she co-authored with Arthur Laurents then in "Broadway Bound." In addition to her journalist son, Newman is survived by her daughter Amanda, a Tony-nominated songwriter.

SOLUTION:
Tony-winner and women's health advocate Phyllis Newman dies.
