France lifts most COVID-19 restrictions for unvaccinated

FRANCE - France lifted most COVID-19 restrictions on Monday, abolishing the need to wear face masks in most settings and allowing people who aren’t vaccinated back into restaurants, sports arenas and other venues.The move had been announced earlier this month by the French government based on assessments of the improving situation in hospitals and following weeks of a steady decline in infections. It comes less than a month before the first round of the presidential election scheduled on April 10.But in recent days, the number of new infections has started increasing again, raising concerns from some scientists it may be too soon to lift restrictions.

COVID-19 testing clinic at Charles Street Bus Terminal in Kitchener on the move

COVID-19 drive-thru testing site at the former Charles Street Bus Terminal in Kitchener is closing up shop and moving up to Grand River Hospital’s 40 Green building.Given that the list of Ontarians who qualify to be tested has shrunk dramatically, it should come as no surprise that the hospital is looking to scale back. Ontario likely won’t return to widespread COVID-19 PCR testing, health minister says “We have shifted from providing 500-600 tests per day to 30-60 tests per day over the last several weeks, and no longer require the level of infrastructure that the current site provides,” Bonnie Camm, GRH executive vice-president, stated.“The 40 Green location will support the quantity of testing still needed in our community, and provide more efficient access to our lab for the resulting of tests.”The clinic at the bus terminal will close on March 23 before reopening at its new location on March 25.Testing will be available by appointment Sunday to Friday from 7 a.m.

She is the golden girl of ITV, fronting both This Morning and Dancing on Ice. So it's perhaps unsurprising that ITV bosses were sent into a 'tail spin' when Holly Willoughby revealed she had tested positive for Covid-19 this weekend. "ITV have been really careful to make sure their presenters are working in the most Covid safe was so it's a real blow that Holly tested positive," an ITV source told OK!
