Beijing: The scientist who first published information on sequencing the COVID-19 virus in China said he has been allowed to return to his laboratory after days of protests. Scientist Zhang Yongzhen wrote in a social media post on Wednesday that authorities have “tentatively agreed” to let him and his team go into the laboratory and continue research. Zhang and his team were suddenly asked to leave the laboratory. He had been protesting outside his laboratory since the weekend. This development indicates increasing pressure from Beijing on scientists doing research on coronavirus. The Shanghai Public Health Clinical Center had previously said Zhang’s laboratory was being renovated and was closed for security reasons, but Zhang said his team was given no choice and the new laboratory was designed to ensure security for the research. Does not conform to standards.
China is controlling information related to the virus
This incident involving Zhang shows how China is controlling information related to the virus. An investigation by The Associated Press found that the government had blocked domestic and international efforts to detect the coronavirus from the early days of its spread. This trend is still continuing, laboratories are closed, foreign scientists have been asked to leave the country and Chinese researchers have been banned from leaving the country.

Sergeant Ève Brochu-Joubert, spokesperson for the Sûreté du Québec (SQ), specifies that the accident occurred around 3:26 p.m. A collision involving 3 vehicles occurred opposite 1325 chemin Yamaska, on the edge of the municipality of Saint-Edmond-de-Grantham, specifies the spokesperson in an interview with Vingt55.
The accident left 1 person injured and required the intervention of firefighters specializing in extrication from the municipality of Saint-Germain-de-Grantham confirms the spokesperson for the Sûreté du Québec, while the director of the Saint-Germain fire department , Mario Vaillancourt, met on site, specifies that around ten firefighters were needed for the extrication intervention.
According to a witness met on site by Vingt55, the driver of the vehicle would have attempted an overtaking maneuver, “a bus found itself in her lane, the driver of the car tried to return to her lane while she was overtaking one of the trucks”, specified the witness. The impact was very violent, the lady hit a first truck while re-entering the lane and was pushed by the second while the two trucks maneuvered to avoid hitting the vehicle again, ending their race in an exit from the road .
The driver specified for her part that she noticed a significant and sudden slowdown, wanting to check the reason, she moved to the left and then actually returned to her lane. That’s when the transport truck hit the rear of the vehicle, then throwing it toward the truck in front.
Under the force of the two impacts, his vehicle was thrown towards the shoulder, a witness confirms that one of the heavy vehicles must have also been surprised by the slowdown caused by the school bus which had turned on its flashing lights in the lane reverse, which would explain the impact with the car.
The driver was taken care of and stabilized by paramedics on site before being taken to the Drummondville hospital center, confirms Sergeant Brochu–Joubert According to the first health check, the victim was conscious and did not suffer serious injuries, according to the authorities.
Yamaska Road was closed to traffic while the three vehicles were extricated and towed.

The US State Department said that it found five Israeli army units responsible for serious human rights violations, in incidents that occurred outside the Gaza Strip before the outbreak of the current conflict between Israel and Hamas last October.
State Department deputy spokesman Vedant Patel told reporters that four of the units effectively addressed the violations, while Israel provided additional information on the fifth unit, and the United States continues talks with the government.
The US State Department said that these four units taking “corrective measures” rules out the possibility of US sanctions being imposed on them.
Patel explained that consultations are continuing with the Israeli government regarding the fifth unit in question, which committed violations against Palestinians in the Israeli army.
The American official refused to identify these units or the sanctions that Israel imposed on them.
Press reports indicated accusations, especially against the “Netzah Yehuda” battalion, which is largely composed of ultra-Orthodox soldiers.
US law prohibits the government from granting funding or sending weapons to foreign security force units when there is credible information indicating their involvement in human rights violations.
For more than 6 months, the Israeli army has been waging a war against the Hamas movement in the Gaza Strip, which was devastated by the conflict, and on the Lebanese border, where bombing is exchanged with the pro-Iranian Hezbollah on an almost daily basis.
