About 500 people entered self-isolation in staff quarters of India’s presidential palace on Tuesday, Reuters reported. In India, the alarm was raised at President Ram Nath Kovind’s residence in Delhi after the daughter-in-law of a sanitation worker living in employee quarters tested positive. Neither Kovind, 74, nor his aides would self-isolate as they would not have come into contact with lower-level workers, officials said. The president has a mostly ceremonial role. The families of palace workers living in 114 apartments on the grounds were ordered to stay inside, and seven members of the sanitation worker’s family were moved to quarantine. India’s 1.3 billion people have been ordered to remain indoors for 40 days under a nationwide lockdown to slow the spread of the virus.

A stolen car ended up embedded in the side of a home after a high-speed crash. “In response to the recent question asking the CHP why we are enforcing speed laws amidst the challenges of COVID-19,” California Highway Patrol said in a caption after posting the photos on instagram. The Toyota Camry crashed around 4:40 a.m. in Rowland Heights, Fox 11 Los Angeles reported. The two occupants took off after the crash and are at large, according to the station. The occupants of the house were not injured. They were sleeping at the time. One resident said on social media that she was thankful no one in her family was hurt. “The home is being evaluated to see if the structure is livable or will be red-tagged,” CHP spokesman officer Marcos Iniguez told the paper.
Kentucky witnessed its highest daily spike in coronavirus cases Sunday – just days after hundreds of protesters broke social distancing measures and gathered outside the state capitol building to demand Gov. Andy Beshear reopen the economy. Despite the demonstrations, Beshear, a Democrat, said Kentucky would not begin incrementally reopening the economy or easing its lockdown restrictions until seeing a downward trajectory of reported coronavirus cases for at least 14 days. It was not immediately clear whether the surge in cases was linked to the protests. The governor said Kentucky recorded 273 new cases by Sunday, the largest 24-hour increase in infections since the onset of the outbreak. Cases spiked by less than half that amount by Monday, with just 102 new infections recorded overnight, WYMT-TV in Hazard, Ky., reported.
