Navarrés (Valencia), Aug 10 (EFE).- The nursing home in the Valencian town of Navarrés suffers a new covid outbreak that affects 45 of its 57 residents and 12 employees, most asymptomatic or with mild symptoms.FOOTAGE OF THE RESIDENCE FOR THE ELDERLY WHERE THE OUTBREAK OF COVID HAS BEEN DETECTED, RESOURCES OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF NAVARRÉS AND THE MAYOR OF THE LOCALITY.

It's generally thought that once the COVID-19 vaccine becomes available, front-line healthcare workers and nursing home residents will be first in line. But according to Gizmodo, bank tellers may get to skip the line--past them, and past the over-65's and those with underlying conditions. The industry trade group American Bankers Association has asked federal health authorities to designate consumer-facing bank employees as 'essential workers.' Such a designation would give them vaccine prioritization once the Federal Food and Drug Administration grants emergency-use authorization. To date, the U.S. has seen nearly 15 million COVID-19 cases and 280,000 deaths--the most in the world. The CDC predicts 19,500 new deaths will be reported during the week of Christmas, and that another 300,000 COVID-19 cases will be added in December.
