MUMBAI : Several private equity firms are preparing to exit hospital investments to capitalize on abatement of the pandemic and a rebound in businesses of their portfolios, said several people aware of the matter.

Investors, such as True North, Creador and Everstone Capital, have either begun the process of exiting hospital investments or have initiated talks with buyers to sell their stakes in these assets.

If the deals fructify, several hospitals could see a change in their shareholding structure over the course of the year. For instance, True North Partners is considering an exit from Kerala-based KIMS Healthcare Management Ltd, where it had first invested in 2017.

Investment bank ICICI Securities is running the transaction, two people familiar with the development said, requesting anonymity.

Waterloo Region’s COVID-19 state of emergency to end Friday: Redman

Karen Redman has announced that Waterloo Region’s COVID-19 state of emergency will finally be declared over on Friday.On Twitter, she said, “With COVID-19 indicators trending in the right direction, I will be rescinding the State of Emergency on Friday, May 27, 2022.” COVID-19: No end in sight for Waterloo Region’s state of emergency Redman noted that the state of emergency was initially declared on March 25, 2020, in response to the global outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic.“Over the last two years, our community has come together to fight COVID-19, making many personal sacrifices and stepping up to get vaccinated,” Redman wrote, noting that Waterloo Public Health would continue to provide guidance in the ongoing fight against the virus.Back in March, most of the municipalities that make up the region as well as Guelph and Brantford all declared an end to their state of emergencies but Redman and Waterloo Region CAO Bruce Lauckner said it was too soon for the region to follow suit.Lauckner noted that it allowed them to be more flexible with staffing in local shelters and hospitals as many were still dealing with the virus while others had worked extra hours to assist.“I prefer to err on the side of caution and allow for some recovery time, allow for some people to recoup. And that may require us to still shift resources to give that time off,” he said in March.

Johnny Depp witness cryptically contradicts key Amber Heard witness

Johnny Depp’s libel lawsuit against ex-wife Amber Heard heard a snippet of testimony Tuesday contradicting one of Heard’s key witnesses, but much of the context was stripped away.Jennifer Howell — who once employed Heard’s sister, Whitney Henriquez — testified briefly Tuesday in the six-week civil trial through a recorded deposition.Depp is suing Heard for libel in Fairfax County Circuit Court over a December 2018 op-ed she wrote in The Washington Post describing herself as “a public figure representing domestic abuse.” His lawyers say he was defamed by the article even though it never mentioned his name.Depp has denied he ever struck Heard, and says she was the abuser in the relationship. Heard has testified about more than a dozen separate instances of physical abuse she says she suffered at Depp’s hands.Howell testified that she sent an email in 2020 to Henriquez begging her to tell the truth.Jurors, though, did not see the letter, nor did Howell explain in what way she thought Henriquez was being untruthful.

COVID-19 rebound reported after Pfizer’s pill Paxlovid, CDC says

The CDC said Tuesday that COVID-19 rebound has been reported to occur between two to eight days after initial recovery from the virus. The "rebound" could be characterized as COVID-19 symptoms reemerging and/or testing positive again after having already tested negative. The CDC didn’t say how many rebound cases had been reported. The CDC said those initially treated with the pill who experience rebound COVID had mild illness. "There is currently no evidence that additional treatment is needed with Paxlovid or other anti-SARS-CoV-2 therapies in cases where COVID-19 rebound is suspected," the CDC stated. Additionally, the CDC stressed that Paxlovid’s five-day regimen of pills is still recommended for early-stage treatment of mild to moderate COVID among persons at high risk for severe disease. Paxlovid was authorized in December based on a study in which 1,000 adults received the medication.
