ABC新闻:英国王储查尔斯王子确诊感染新冠病毒 联合国发起新冠肺炎全球响应计划

We kick off with some sad news. Australia has recorded its ninth coronavirus death overnight. A 69-year-old man from Toowoomba in Queensland died after becoming infected onboard a Royal Caribbean cruise ship which docked in Sydney last week. The national cabinet has agreed to significantly extend testing to include health workers, aged care staff and people in a diagnosis hotspot, but some people with symptoms will still not be eligible.
Meantime, prince Charles has also tested positive to the illness. Royal officials say the heir to the throne has only mild symptoms at this stage, and is now in self-isolation at Balmoral estate in Scotland. Spain has now recorded more coronavirus deaths than China. Madrid says 738 people have died in the past day, that takes the total number of Spanish deaths to more than three-thousand-four-hundred.

The United Nations is launching a two billion dollar funding drive to help vulnerable countries fight COVID-19, saying all of humanity is now at risk. As the coronavirus continues to spread within the community, here's where we stand so far. The total number of cases in Australia is at 2434. As mentioned there have now been 9 deaths.
