Huge crowds of partygoers descended on a club in Liverpool on Friday, no masks or social distancing in sight.
They were there for fun but also in the name of science.
Large indoor gatherings are still banned in England and the live music event without face masks or social distancing was part of the UK government’s Events Research Program, which is collecting data to help officials determine how nightclubs and events might return to the UK this summer, according to a government notice.

Digital financial services leader PayMaya is making it even easier for overseas Filipinos to pay for government fees and for their family’s utility bills through the PayMaya e-wallet app.

The Philippine Statistics Authority launches its Step 1 online registration for the national ID, but not without some hiccups. The website where Filipinos can sign up for their personal IDs has been experiencing technical difficulties, becoming inaccessible.
SAN FERNANDO CITY, Apr. 30 (PIA) – The Philippine Identification System (PhilSys) or much known as the national identification (ID) system has started its online registration today, April 30.
The said online registration was announced on Wednesday by the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) which is the lead agency in the implementation of the program.
According to NEDA-1 regional director Nestor Rillon during the Kapihan sa Ilocos program held on April 29, the online registration is part of the implementation of the PhilSys which is aimed to easily provide assistance to citizens especially during this time of pandemic.
“The online registration is only the first step to avail of the national ID and in registering online, basic details will be asked of the person and this information will still be verified onsite,” Rillon added.
