“The last few weeks, and more recent days have been understandably concerning with the continuing spread of coronavirus.Prince William and Kate Middleton Visit London Ambulance Service Control Room Amid Coronavirus Pandemic.Prince William and Kate Middleton visited the London Ambulance Service 111 control room in Croydon on Thursday.There, they met with staff members who have been fielding NHS 111 calls from the public and thanked them for their hard work amid the global coronavirus pandemic."The last few weeks, and more recent days, have been understandably concerning with the continuing spread of coronavirus," the Duke of Cambridge said in a statement."But it's at times like this when we realize just how much the NHS represents the very best of our country and society–people from all backgrounds and walks of life with different experiences and skills, pulling together for the common good.Not only are NHS staff and emergency workers responding to the needs of the public, they–like the rest of us–are concerned about their families, friends and loved ones.They need our support as much as we need theirs. That is why Catherine and I were proud to visit staff working at NHS 111, to pass on our personal thanks, along with those of my grandmother and father, to staff working around the clock to provide care and advice to those that need it most.The control room, which serves southeast London, has been experiencing increased demand on the NHS 111 service.According to a press release shared by the Palace, the London Ambulance Service, which takes calls from both the control rooms in Croydon and in Barking, have been receiving at least five times the usual rate of calls.In addition, it runs two 999 control rooms, which has been receiving nearly 8,000 calls a day."Our staff are working incredibly hard in all four of our call centers, taking more than twice as many calls as usual," London Ambulance Service CEO Garrett Emmerson said in a statement."It has therefore been an incredible boost to staff to be able to meet with The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.Their Royal Highnesses spoke to some of our 111 call handlers and clinicians who are extraordinarily busy as we work hard to support Londoners and the wider NHS.".William and Kate also learned about ways members of the public can help alleviate this kind of pressure by visiting the nhs.uk/coronavirus website before contacting 111."It was also brilliant to see the great online tools for those with mild symptoms or worries." William continued in his statement. "All of us have a part to play if we're going to protect the most vulnerable.That means acting on the latest expert advice, staying home if we or those we live with have symptoms, and avoiding non-essential contact to help reduce the spread of the virus.According to The Daily Mail's royal correspondent Rebecca English, William and Kate frequently used hand sanitizer during the visit and did not shake hands.She also reported they made a "conscious effort to socially distance themselves from people.".In addition, English shared footage of William meeting former Buckingham Palace telephonist Paula White.Per English's report, White claimed his mother, the late Princess Diana, used to sneak in to sit with them and take a few calls.Kate wore a pink Marks and Spencer suit for the visit while William donned a suit jacket, sweater and button-up shirt.The visit came just a day after William offered the public words of encouragement and spoke about the National Emergencies Trust in a video.In addition, Queen Elizabeth II, who is currently in Windsor with Prince Philip, released a statement in which she spoke about how many people and families are "entering a period of great concern and uncertainty." ."We are all being advised to change our normal routines and regular patterns of life for the greater good of the communities we live in and, in particular, to protect the most vulnerable within them," Her Majesty said."At times such as these, I am reminded that our nation's history has been forged by people and communities coming together to work as one, concentrating our combined efforts with a focus on the common goal.We are enormously thankful for the expertise and commitment of our scientists, medical practitioners and emergency and public services; but now more than any time in our recent past, we all have a vitally important part to play as individuals - today and in the coming days, weeks and months.Many of us will need to find new ways of staying in touch with each other and making sure that loved ones are safe.I am certain we are up to that challenge. You can be assured that my family and I stand ready to play our part.Prince William and Kate Middleton paid a surprise visit to coronavirus health workers in London on Thursday.But it’s at times like this when we realise just how much the NHS represents the very best of our country and society – people from all backgrounds and walks of life with different experiences and skills, pulling together for the common good.“Not only are NHS staff and emergency workers responding to the needs of the public, they – like the rest of us – are concerned about their families, friends and loved ones.“They need our support as much as we need theirs.“All of us have a part to play if we’re going to protect the most vulnerable.“That means acting on the latest expert advice, staying home if we or those we live with have symptoms, and avoiding non-essential contact to help reduce the spread of the virus.However some fans took to social media to slam Will and Kate for making a public appearance for not social distancing themselves..“Can we talk about how we’re supposed to be practising social distancing and they are like 2 feet away from people,” one person wrote.Another added: “Guys, I love you, but stop going around. Stay home".A third chimed in: “Guys stay home!!!! Covid is no joke!,” one follower asserted, while one simply wrote: “No masks??? Really???”.The details come after Prince William urged the people of the United Kingdom to show their support for each other amid the worsening coronavirus pandemic.Taking to Instagram on Wednesday, the heir to the British throne shared a video, in which he appealed to the public to continue helping those in need.






“Whenever and wherever adversity strikes, the people of the UK have a unique ability to pull together,” William began.“The way that local communities support those affected shows the very best of our values and human nature.“The public’s desire to help in the wake of tragedy needs to be managed and channelled in the best possible way, which is why the establishment of the National Emergencies Trust was so important,” he said.The National Emergiencies Trust works with local charities and distribution partners to ensure that financial support is delivered to those that need it the most.William, who spoke at the trust’s launch last year, recalled how he had said he dreaded the day when its services would be needed.“Sadly, with the outbreak of COVID-19, that day has come faster than any of us would have hoped,” Wills told viewers.“But now, more than ever, I am grateful that the National Emergencies Trust exists.It will ensure that support reaches those across the UK who need it most, as quickly and as efficiently as possible.“And it will help to ensure all of our efforts to overcome this challenge are channelled in the best possible way,” he concluded.

Chamisa's lawyer spoke out about Mnangagwa's fraud evidence during the election

OPPOSITION MDC leader Nelson Chamisa will launch a renewed bid to oust President Emmerson Mnangagwa by seeking to have the Constitutional Court (ConCourt) review its own judgment based on “new evidence.”.Chamisa’s lawyer Thabani Mpofu said after studying academic works on the elections published by self-exiled former minister Jonathan Moyo, they were now making efforts to have the judgment on the 2018 presidential elections set aside.The country’s top court ruled that Chamisa had failed to prove allegations of fraud during the presidential election, a vote which left the nation polarised and violence on the streets of the capital Harare.Mpofu said the basis of approaching the ConCourt was because they now believe that the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (Zec) presented to the courts false information and, therefore, their call for the judgment to be set aside.“The general rule is that once a final judgment or order has been given, the judge who gave it or any other judge of parallel juri...
