The two players had tested positive on arrival in Sri Lanka and had been in an isolation facility since then. Though the players returned two negative PCR tests, the international protocol doesn’t allow them to stay.
According to sources privy to the development, both players are scheduled to leave for respective countries on the first available flights.
“Their last PCR tests were negative but as per the American Medical Association guidelines for COVID-19 recovered patients much more care needs to be taken,” Prof. Arjuna de Silva, the Medical Director of the tournament confirmed.

The doctor noted that COVID-19 infections could result in a higher amount of myocarditis (swelling of the heart), compared to other viral infections.
“Therefore in athletes, it is better to do ECHO and in some patients even MRI may be required as professional athletes engage in severe exercise. It is therefore advised that even in asymptomatic athletes after the two weeks of quarantine the player should undergo a gradual medically supervised program over 2 two weeks before the resumption of competitive sports. Unless he or she undergoes extensive testing before. If there is myocarditis then the usual protocol of 3 months will apply,” Arjuna explained.

In a major development, KP Chief Minister Mahmood Khan banned the use of mobile electronics during cabinet meetings. According to a notification issued by the provincial government, all ministers, advisers, special assistants, secretaries, and officials were ordered to abstain from using mobiles during cabinet meetings.
Earlier this year, the federal government directed provincial governments to ban the use of social networking applications, with fears of leakage of confidential letters and cyberattacks by foreign agencies. The notification on Thursday directs ministers, special assistants, and advisers to strictly follow this regulation.

The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government on Thursday also banned dine-in services in hotels and restaurants to curb the spread of the COVID-19 virus. The usual takeaway and delivery services will remain operational throughout the province, according to a report.
In lieu of the KP government’s decision, district-assigned assistant commissioners, extra assistant commissioners, magistrates, and police offers have been mobilized to ensure that no dining services take place inside hotels and restaurants.
Assistant commissioners visited different hotels and restaurants in Peshawar and cantonment areas. Strict warnings were issued at all venues, with closure notices to be circulated to violators who fail to adhere to the new regulation.
Meanwhile, restaurants and hotels at Namak Mandai, Peshawar’s famous food street behind the historical Qissa Khwani bazaar that normally attracted a substantial number of BBQ, Chappli Kabab, Peshawari and Kabuli Pulao lovers, has shown a decrease in customers after a spike in COVID-19 cases.

A group of researchers led by Nirupam Roy from the University of Maryland, in collaboration with assistant professor Jun Han of the University of Singapore, has seemingly established that commonly used robotic vacuum cleaners can be hacked remotely and used as a microphone. This research was presented at the Association for Computing Machinery’s Conference on Embedded Networked Sensor Systems (SenSys 2020) last month.
The researchers tested and collected information from the laser-based navigation system in a robot vacuum. They then applied signal processing and deep learning techniques to recover speech and were able to identify television programs playing in the same room where the device was operating.
The research reveals how the devices can be used for eavesdropping. They detailed how almost all the devices that use light detection and ranging (LiDAR) technology can be manipulated as a monitoring device by transmitting sound even if they do not have a microphone.

The LiDAR systems operate by directing a laser beam around the room. The reflected signals are then used to map the room, enabling the robot to navigate the room without collisions.
Apart from being manipulated to eavesdrop, the mapping data from these vacuums can also be accessed and used by hackers since they are mostly stored on the cloud. Simple privacy breaches can give information about things such as home size and other privileged data. Robot vacuum cleaners are just one example of potential vulnerability to LiDAR-based espionage activities. Many other devices are susceptible to hackers.

The Chinese smartphone maker and Nubia’s parent company, ZTE, announced the world’s first smartphone with an under-display camera, the ZTE Axon 20 5G, in September this year. However, the unique handset was only available for sale in China until now.
In a recent announcement, ZTE revealed that it is opening reservations for the phone and will soon start shipping it globally. According to the announcement, to book a unit, the consumers just have to send an email. They are urging interested people to book a unit since the smartphone will be shipped in limited quantities. The first phase of shipments will start on 21st December.
Here’s a list of the first markets to get the phone outside China:
United Kingdom
European Union
Japan
South Korea
Thailand
Malaysia
Philippines
United Arab Emirates
Ukraine
Saudi Arabia
South Africa
The company has not revealed the smartphone’s price though. We will hear more about the handset’s market expansion in the coming days.
In other news, the company recently announced ZTE Axon 5G’s Extreme Edition that comes with a lavish leather finish and pumped up storage specifications. The Extreme Edition does not support a higher refresh rate like the vanilla model though. There is no word about the maxed-out variant’s global availability. However, we believe it will be made available to consumers outside the Chinese market soon.

According to a recent report by International Data Corporation (IDC), a premier global provider of market intelligence, shipments of wearables jumped up to 125 million units translating into a 35.1 percent increase in the third quarter as compared to the same period last year.
In terms of leading companies, Apple dominated the market with a 33 percent market share, followed by Xiaomi, Huawei, and Samsung with 17 million, 13.7 million, and 8.4 million units shipped, respectively. Fitbit and Boat are tied for the fifth position. Both of them shipped 3.3 million devices accounting for 2.6% of the total market.
All the major wearables manufacturers recorded a yearly increase in the volume of shipped products. According to the report, the surge was driven by seasonality, new product launches, and the pandemic. New products from the likes of Apple, Samsung, and others helped renew interest in popular categories such as smartwatches. Moreover, the amount of money consumers used to spend on traveling and dining out was redirected to consumer electronics due to the world-wide imposed lockdown.

Jitesh Ubrani, Research Manager for IDC, said,
Many countries began easing restrictions and opening up their economies during the third quarter, which helped bolster outdoor activity as well as demand for wearables. Meanwhile, a broader range of price points from numerous vendors meant that there was something for everyone.
Ramon T. Llamas, Research Director, Mobile Devices and AR/VR, explained,
The double-digit growth not only indicates strong demand but also suggests that many people got a wearable device for the first time in both emerging and developed markets. Consider what this means: a larger installed base of wearable device users going forward and a larger opportunity for device replacements in the years to come. As some wearers own multiple devices – like earwear and wristwear – the wearables market will enjoy sustained demand.
Looking ahead in the future, IDC predicted the wearables market would enjoy sustained demand due to more and more people getting into the trend and buying their first wearable.
