                Ethiopian parliament endorses virus emergency

                Horn of Africa nation of 110 million people so far confirmed 65 coronavirus cases, with 2 deaths

                ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia

                The Ethiopian Parliament on Friday endorsed a state of emergency due to the spread of coronavirus in the country and across Africa.

                Ethiopia has so far confirmed 65 novel coronavirus cases and two deaths, while there are fears the virus may spread faster in the coming days and weeks across the country.

                The country had already closed schools and declared stay-at-home measures for civil servants.


                In a special meeting at the Palace -- the first time the parliament changed venue -- which has a hall providing much needed space for physical distancing, the parliamentarians almost voted unanimously, with only one vote abstaining, according to the local broadcaster FANA.


                The state of emergency declared by the Council of Ministers on Wednesday will last for five months effective its endorsement, but no restriction has been mentioned yet.
