Novak Djokovic stated he would skip the French Open and Wimbledon rather than get vaccinated against Covid-19, Serum Institute of India (SII) chief Adar Poonawalla took to Twitter to say that he hopes the tennis star changes his mind.

Speaking in an interview broadcast Tuesday by the BBC, the 20-time Grand Slam champion said he is still not vaccinated, and prepared to sacrifice titles to stay that way.

If need be, not defending his titles at Roland Garros and Wimbledon and missing other tournaments is “the price that I am willing to pay," said the 34-year-old Serb.

Following this, Poonawalla shared a video of him playing a game of tennis and wrote: “I respect your personal views on not getting vaccinated @DjokerNole and love watching you play, but I hope you change your mind.

ruins of a theater blown apart by a Russian airstrike in the besieged city of Mariupol, while scores of Ukrainians across the country were killed in ferocious urban attacks on a school, a hostel and other sites.Hundreds of civilians had been taking shelter in the grand, columned theater in central Mariupol after their homes were destroyed in three weeks of fighting in the southern port city of 430,000.More than a day after the airstrike, there were no reports of deaths.

Philadelphia officer to be dismissed after allegedly giving false statements in gun case

PHILADELPHIA - A veteran Philadelphia police officer has been suspended with the intent to dismiss after investigators say he gave false statements and testimony in a gun case last year. Officer Daniel Levitt was arrested Thursday on charges of perjury, unsworn false statements and official oppression. In 2021, authorities say the Philadelphia Police Department’s Internal Affairs unit conducted an audit of city-wide arrests of individuals for violations of the Uniform Firearms Act. MORE HEADLINES: The audit prompted an investigation into an arrest made by Levitt on April 28, 2021. During that investigation, authorities determined that Levitt, a 12-year veteran of the force, violated department policy. Commissioner Outlaw announced Thursday that she has suspended Levitt for 30 days with the intent to dismiss at the end of the suspension. "It never feels good to learn that one of our own has been charged with a crime," said Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw.

Canada will scrap pre-arrival COVID-19 testing rule for vaccinated travellers April 1

COVID-19 testing requirement for fully vaccinated travellers, the federal government announced on Thursday.Starting April 1, vaccinated travellers won’t need to track down a COVID-19 test in the last day before their vacation ends.“Today’s announcement is encouraging, but let us remember that all measures are subject to review,” said Health Minister Jean-Yves Duclos, speaking to reporters Thursday morning.“We will continue to adjust them as the epidemiological situation here in Canada and abroad evolves.”Currently, all travellers entering Canada — regardless of vaccination status — have to show proof of a negative COVID-19 antigen test, taken within 24 hours of their flight or arrival at Canada’s border.As an alternative, they can show proof of a negative PCR test from within the previous 72 hours. Is Canada dropping its COVID-19 guard too quickly? Experts weigh in But starting next month, travellers who are fully vaccinated — with two doses of an approved COVID-19 vaccine — won’t have to show either.Fully vaccinated travellers might still have to undergo random testing when they arrive in Canada, but they don’t have to quarantine while awaiting their results, Duclos added.Unvaccinated and partially vaccinated travellers will be subject to a molecular test both when they arrive and again eight days later.
