After missing Parliament for nearly five weeks, the disgraced former Health Secretary is back to promote Pandemic Diaries, giving his account of what happened at the top of government during the pandemic.

We have combed through the all 592 pages of Mr Hancock’s diaries and here are the best bits.During May 2020 the government added a loss of taste/smell to an official list of Covid isolation symptoms.

However, Hancock claims he knew of the symptom months before then.On March 18, 2020, he writes: “Nadine [Dorries], as ever in the vanguard of the epidemic, says she’s lost her sense of smell and taste and everyone she’s infected has got the same thing.“Strange: that’s not one of the official symptoms.

Modified multiday fishing vessel launched to reduce postharvest loss
COLOMBO (News 1st) – The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the Ministry of Fisheries launched a modified multiday fishing vessel in Colombo to improve the quality of fish and reduce postharvest loss in the Fisheries sector.The FAO in a statment said that fish products are an important source of animal protein for Sri Lanka and the sector contributes about 1.1 percent to Sri Lanka’s GDP.  However, studies by the National Aquatic Resources Research and Development Agency (NARA) indicate that the fish quality loss in some harbours is at 60 – 70 percent.Some of the issues contributing to these losses include the lack of an adequate cooling system in multi-day fishing vessels that use weeks-old ice to maintain low temperatures and the captured harvest not being handled or stored properly by fishers, which reduces the quality of the overall harvest and damage the bottom layer of stored fish. To address this issue FAO, together with the Ministry of Fisheries and NARA, modified the design of a multi-day fishing vessel as a pilot project to introduce new boat designs that provide an economically viable solution to minimize the quality loss of fish harvests. By reducing the existing post-harvest losses, the investment for the proposed new design can be recovered within 3.5 years.The modified multi-day vessel features a pilot coolant system in fish holds and storage as well as a modified fish holding facility to minimize the physical damage to fish due to overload.
