Coronavirus news, updates, hotspots and information for 09-17-2020
This is Coronavirus 411, the latest COVID-19 info and new hotspots… Just the facts… for September 17th, 2020.
Connecticut officials took what they called the “extraordinary step” of closing a nursing home and moving residents out after an outbreak resulting in around 30 cases and four deaths. This right after the state made the rare move of installing an outside manager at the home in Norwich to address deficiencies.
NYC opened a testing lab in Manhattan after months of complaints about testing delays. The aim is to cut down on wait times and not depend on backlogged big lab companies. The facility will prioritize New York City residents, with turnaround times in 24-48 hours.
The federal government released broad plans aimed at distributing free vaccines within a day after an emergency use authorization or full approval is granted. A "playbook" developed by the CDC instructs state health agencies to create planning committees and prepare for a limited supply of vaccine doses in the fall.
The CDC is also reporting most children under 21 dying from COVID-19 are Hispanic, Black or Native American. Of those who died, 78% were children of color: 45% were Hispanic, 29% were Black and 4% were non-Hispanic American Indian or Alaska Native.
ICU wards in Spain are busy again. Madrid is for the second time the capital worst hit by outbreaks on the continent. And doctors and nurses say authorities are, again, responding too erratically and too late. One doctor called it March but in slow motion.
Ireland’s entire Cabinet is self-isolating and parliament has been suspended after the health minister reported feeling unwell. Stephen Donnelly has contacted his doctor for a test, but he did take part in a cabinet meeting and press conference beforehand.
