Over a million line up as Slovakia begins nationwide Covid-19 test in global first
TRENCIN, Slovakia (REUTERS) - Over a million Slovaks took a coronavirus swab on Saturday (Oct 31) as the country launched a huge logistical operation to test most of its population over the weekend to reverse a rise in the pandemic. Authorities say the ambitious plan to test most citizens aged over 10 among Slovakia's 5.5 million people is the first of its kind in a country of its size. It is being watched by other nations looking for ways to slow the virus spread and avoid overwhelming their health systems. More than 40,000 medics and support teams of soldiers, police, administrative workers and volunteers staffed around 5,000 sites to administer the antigen swab tests. As of noon (1100 GMT), 828,518 people had been tested and 7,947 were positive, Defence Minister Jaroslav Nad told a news conference. "We have clearly got to over 1 million (as of 1500 GMT) - people's interest continues," Nad said, adding that over 3 million people may be tested over the course of the weekend. Prime Minister Igor Matovic has said he hoped the plan would identify and quarantine enough infected people to avert a strict
More than 90 million vote early as Trump, Biden make late campaign push
NEWTOWN, Pennsylvania (REUTERS) - A record 90 million Americans have voted early in the presidential election, data on Saturday (Oct 31) showed, as President Donald Trump and his Democratic rival Joe Biden campaigned across the nation to try to sway the few remaining undecided voters. The high number of early voters, about 65% of the total turnout in 2016, reflects intense interest in the contest, with three days of campaigning left. Concerns about exposure to the coronavirus at busy Election Day voting places on Tuesday have also pushed up the numbers of people voting by mail or at early in-person polling sites. Trump, a Republican, is spending the closing days of his re-election campaign criticising public officials and medical professionals who are trying to combat the coronavirus pandemic even as it surges back across the United States. Opinion polls show Trump trailing former Vice President Biden nationally, but with a closer contest in the most competitive states that will decide the election. Voters say the coronavirus is their top concern. At a small, in-person rally in Newtown, Pennsylvania, Trump mocked his opponent on Saturday for his criticism of the administration's record of fighting Covid-19, which
How Xavier Abraham Is Reinventing PR With Pytch
Los Angeles, US, Oct. 31, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Founder & Creative Director Xavier Abraham stated that he created his subscription business Pytch to pave a new way for creatives to market their content in the digital age with a cost-effective, invite-only PR platform. As the pandemic slows global hiring and with many facing layoffs, creatives such as musicians, artists, graphic designers, and independent brands are finding new ways to produce projects but are now faced with the challenge of building awareness of their artistic work due to low marketing budgets. As creatives deal with costly agency retainers, there’s an opportunity to ditch the old model and provide an alternative solution. So Abraham built an early version of Pytch a few years ago and found success. This year's safer-at-home period allowed Abraham to focus on the project, launching a beta version last year before the full launch two months ago. “This low-cost subscription model could be exactly what’s needed for this industry,” Abraham states. For the cost of a Netflix subscription, Pytch creates PR campaigns for creatives. With a starting price of $15 per month, Pytch is a software backed by a team of experts, providing assistance on developing your
