F1 Season On Hold As Australia And China Grand Prixs Have Been Postponed

The year's Formula 1 season will have a delayed start after the Australian and Chinese Grands Prix have been postponed because of Covid-19 restrictions as Australia and China have strict rules on international arrivals.

The races were first and third on the 2021 calendar and the season is now scheduled to begin with the second race, in Bahrain, on 26-28 March.

The Australian Grand Prix, originally scheduled for 19-21 March, will now take place between 19-21 November while a race at Imola in Italy has been added from 16-18 April and becomes the second race of the season.

F1 says discussions over a new date for the Chinese Grand Prix, which was meant to be held from 9-11 April, are ongoing and the third race of the season, scheduled for May 2, is yet to be confirmed but it is expected to be filled by Portugal's Portimao circuit following its debut last year.

NCDC Says The Country Is Now Reaching A Critical Covid-19 Level As Many Civil Servants Test Positive In Lagos

The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control says the country is now reaching a critical level, adding that the hospital capacity will no longer be able to cope with more serious COVID-19 cases.

The Director-General of the NCDC, Dr. CHIKWE IHEKWEAZU, said this in a series of tweets while reacting to the spike in COVID-19 infections in the last one month.

IHEKWEAZU said this as the fear of COVID-19 spread at the National Identity Management Commission grew on Monday because Nigerians besieged the NIMC offices following the workers' suspension of the strike they embarked upon on Thursday.

He disclosed that the Centre would from next week roll out rapid diagnosis test kits in five tertiary hospitals in Abuja while the facility would be extended nationwide from February.

The Chief of the National Guard Bureau, DANIEL HOKANSON said security will be beefed up in most states in the US.
