WHO Origin Report Draws Fire; China Finds Cluster: Virus Update

The World Health Organization’s chief said a mission to study the origins of the coronavirus in China didn’t adequately analyze the possibility of a lab leak. The White House also criticized the report, calling it incomplete and faulting data and access provided by China. China reported its first cluster of infections in more than a month in the southwestern province of Yunnan. Mal

China reported six confirmed cases and three asymptomatic Covid-19 infections on Wednesday, the first cluster since mid-February, the country’s National Health Commission said. Local health authorities in Ruili city in the southwestern province of Yunnan found one person testing positive for the coronavirus on March 29 during a regular screening among key populations, the provincial health commis

Brazil hit a record of 3,780 on Covid-19 deaths as the pandemic spirals out of control in Latin America’s largest country.

Wells Fargo Co. is making plans to bring its employees back into offices in September. The U.S. bank with the largest workforce has about 200,000 employees working from home and is extending that arrangement through Sept. 6. It aims to return to a “more normal operating model” that month, according to a memo from Chief Executive Officer Charlie Scharf and Chief Operating Officer Scott Powell.

Chile signed an agreement with CanSino Biologics Inc. for 1.8 million Covid vaccine doses that will start to arrive in May, the government’s Vice Minister of Trade Rodrigo Yanez said in an interview. The country has already received close to 13 million total shots against Covid-19 and it’s expecting the arrival of an extra 15 million doses by June to reach herd immunity in the first half of the y

Kenyans have begun getting inoculated with Russia’s Sputnik V vaccines for a fee after the nation’s authorities approved the shots for emergency purposes. A single shot costs 7,700 shillings ($70.30), according to Nairobi-based lawyer Donald Kipkorir, who got an injection Tuesday.

Covid-19 deaths in the U.S. are expected to bottom out in the next two weeks and then may inch higher as the nation races to blunt an incipient new wave of cases with its vaccination campaign. A plateau or small increase -- instead of the hoped-for decline -- could mean tens of thousands of additional fatalities. The deaths are likely to dip to 6,028 in the week ending April 10 before slightly i

The World Health Organization’s chief said a mission to study the origins of the coronavirus in China didn’t adequately analyze the possibility of a lab leak before it concluded that the pathogen probably spread from bats to humans via another animal. Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said even though the international team of scientists determined that a leak is the least likely hypoth

Iceland said travelers from so-called danger zones, which is most of Europe, will need to stay in a special hotel for their obligatory five-day quarantine upon arrival. The reason is that infections have been spread by visitors who have broken quarantine to view a new volcanic eruption.

A new law in Spain mandates that all citizens older than 6 years old wear masks inside and outside, even when social distancing rules are followed. The measure includes forcing beach-goers to wear a mask while they sunbathe, a measure that could impact the country’s struggling tourism industry. People with breathing difficulties or those who practice individual sports outside will be exempt.

Scotland will go ahead with a tentative easing of restrictions during the next few days as the vaccine program succeeds in reducing the number of new cases, First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said. More than 2.4 million of the country’s population of 5.5 million have received a first dose, she told reporters in Edinburgh. That means the semi-autonomous government is now confident enough in the progre
The new target represents an increase of about one quarter from an earlier estimate. BioNTech said it expects 9.8 billion euros ($11.5 billion) in revenue from the supply contracts signed already, which amount to 1.4 billion doses. Revenue expectations include milestone payments from BioNTech’s partners and will rise as more orders are signed, the company said.
