 | | | | The following is a summary of some recent studies on COVID-19. They include research that warrants further study to corroborate the findings and that has yet to be certified by peer review. | | | | | | Several large Chinese cities including Shanghai are rolling out new mass testing or extending lockdowns on millions of residents to counter new clusters of COVID-19 infections, with some measures being criticised on the internet. | | | | | | Dr. Anthony Fauci, the chief medical adviser to the White House, confirmed he will retire by the end of President Joe Biden's first term, but it could come much earlier than that, the infectious disease expert told Reuters in an interview on Monday. | | | | | | A new wave of COVID-19 cases and rising hospitalizations ahead of an October election are creating fresh headaches for Quebec's government, which says it has no plans to reintroduce mask mandates in the Canadian province despite calls by some doctors to do so. | | | | | | Uber will pay more than $2 million and waive wait time fees for disabled passengers to settle U.S. allegations that it had violated the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Department of Justice said. | | | | | | The European Medicines Agency on Monday started reviewing a low-dose version of BioNTech and Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine for use in children between the age of six months and four years. | | | | | | Europe is sweltering under a record-breaking heatwave, with a number of governments issuing health emergency alerts. | | | | | | The European Commission said on Monday it has secured about 54,000 additional doses of the monkeypox vaccine developed by biotech firm Bavarian Nordic as concern mounts over the disease amid a spike in cases. | | | | | | Sexual health clinics on the frontline of the monkeypox response are already financially stretched, leaving the United States and UK ill-equipped to tackle the first major global health test since the COVID-19 pandemic. | | | | | | British drugmaker GSKspun off its consumer health business on Monday in the biggest listing in Europe for more than a decade, but the unit's market value of 30.5 billion pounds fell well short of the price rival Unilever offered to pay earlier this year. | | | | | |
