More than 30,000 Americans died from Covid-19 in the first 13 days of December, according to Johns Hopkins University (JHU). As of Sunday night, the death toll from the outbreak had risen to 300,000, with more than 1.2.5 million cases reported.

Wes Wheeler, president of UPS Healthcare, told CNN on Sunday evening that all flights carrying the vaccine had departed from the airport in Louisville, Kentucky, and that almost all ground operations had departed.

-F-Load will begin at 8 a.m. Monday, meaning the vaccine will be delivered soon, around 8:10 a.m. or 8:15 p.m., according to Wheeler.

He said one of the biggest challenges facing carriers is maintaining the temperature required for the vaccine.

“The minus 100-degree requirement with dry ice, it ensures it rotates, ensures the temperature is maintained, dry ice that follows shipment after the vaccine arrives is also important,” he said. “To ensure that we coordinate vaccine-forwarding kits so that administration sites need immediate dosing as early as tomorrow morning.”

Wheeler is a C.N.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A. N.A. Kerebrera said the UPS The command center for is looking at each single shipment and checking all the packages. He said every time a package arrives at any UPS site across the country, they can see within 10 feet.

The first batch arrived in Los Angeles

“This science is a major milestone for our country and our community. Thanks to all those who made this distribution possible, and it is part of an incredible effort to distribute the vaccine worldwide,” LAX said.

Although there are different viruses in different states with different approaches to the prevention of the epidemic, the virus is still prevalent as they prepare to receive the vaccine.

According to figures released by the Public Health CD Department (CDPH) in California, for the third day in a row on Sunday, 20,000 new positive coronavirus cases were reported in California every day.

More than 90% of California residents are under a stay-at-home order, except for essentials such as grocery shopping, banking, and the appointment of a doctor. Residents of the state are required to stay at home once the ICU capacity for the region falls below 15%.

States balance precautions with vaccine distribution

“We are at a critical juncture,” Sisolek said. “We will monitor the current situation and evaluate it from week to week and it will be under current sanctions with a target to pass next month.”

The state is expected to receive the first shipment of the vaccine on Monday, Sisolak said. While he did not specify exactly when vaccinations would begin, Sisolak said he plans to distribute the first allotment to frontline health care workers and employees and residents in nursing facilities for “immediate vaccinations.”

In Washington Washington, Gov. Jay Isle also announced Sunday that his state will be carrying the first vaccine Monday, with vaccinations likely to begin Tuesday.

The initial 62,000 doses will be distributed across 40 facilities and 29 counties, said the executive assistant secretary of the Washington Department of Health.

“Today’s news means we will see an end to this epidemic.” But he warned that residents should continue to take safety precautions even after vaccinations begin. “I want to be clear, this does not change the importance of our safety precautions. Masking, limiting physical distance and interactions are just as important as they were yesterday.”

Keep wearing a mask

The director of the National Institutes of Health warned on Sunday that those who get vaccinated should continue to wear masks.

Dr. “You still need to consider yourself potentially contagious, even though you’re safe from getting sick at a very sick percentage of certainty,” Francis Collins told NBC’s Chuck Todd on “Meet the Press.”

It is not yet known whether the Pfizer and Moder vaccines prevent people from becoming asymptomatic carriers of the virus.

Collins told Todd that it was “an urgent question to find” and that it would take months to find him.

“Masks will still be a part of our lives. We need to recognize that and not have to step down or start leaving our guards,” Collins said.

But he urged people to get vaccinated, saying details of its safety and effectiveness were available to the public.

“I think if all reasonable people had a chance to put their voices aside and ignore all those terrible conspiracy theories, they would see this and say, ‘I want this for my family, I want this for me.’ ‘ He said about the vaccine. “People are dying right now. How do you say let’s wait and see if that means there’s going to be a terrible tragedy, ”he said.
