Emmerdale real-life controversies - race row, £30k bill and 'alarming' Covid cases
Emmerdale is known for its fair share of onscreen drama.The ITV soap will celebrate its 40th anniversary later this year, with a number of dramatic storylines set to reach their crescendos.While there have been many upsets and scandals onscreen, incidences of real life drama have also been known to brew up in the Dales.From a recent race row which led one actor to allegedly quit and another two actors to be temporarily suspended, to a £30,000 restoration payment and an 'alarming' Covid-testing scandal, Daily Star investigates the biggest real life scandals to emerge from Emmerdale across its 40-year history.Earlier this year, Ellis Chapman actor Aaron Anthony left Emmerdale after three years amid an alleged incidence of racism on-set.The actor's final scenes aired in February.It was reported that Aaron had quit the soap after an investigation was launched into claims two of his co-stars had mimicked 'the accent of a mixed-raced actress' while filming a big on-location stunt.In December, a source told the Sun: "Aaron has been very vocal in his opinions about the allegations and about the way in which the enquiries have been handled by the bosses."He now feels his position on the show is untenable."The actors investigated for the claims were Isabel Hodgins and Matthew Wolfenden.After a three-month absence from filming, in which the investigation concluded the alleged remarks had been "misheard" and no formal action would be taken against them, the duo returned to Emmerdale in January.Their characters Victoria Sugden and David Metcalfe have since featured in a number of big storylines, including a recent engagement fail.In 2012, Emmerdale fan favourite John Barton (James Thornton) was memorably killed off in a gut-wrenching

Higher intensity group exercise may increase COVID-19 infection risk, study says
People run on treadmills at a New York Sports Club in Brooklyn, New York (Photo by Spencer Platt/Getty Images) Previous studies have identified indoor group exercise as a situation where COVID-19 outbreaks can occur, but new research shows this can be exacerbated by the level of fitness intensity.In a study, published last month in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), researchers in Germany designed a method for measuring aerosol particle emission (exhaled breath) at rest and during different exercise intensities among eight men and eight women. "By measuring aerosol particle concentration and ventilation in one individual, we were able to calculate aerosol particle emission that is a more direct measure of the risk of pathogen transmission by aerosol particles by one individual than the aerosol particle concentration in exhaled air or in room air," the study authors wrote.RELATED: New study reveals best time of day to work out for fat loss, muscle strengthResearchers found that people undertaking strenuous exercise produced on average 132 times more aerosol particles than when they are at rest, with no significant difference between women and men.In addition, fitter, endurance-trained subjects exhaled 85% more particles during maximal exercise than untrained subjects which was considered a significant difference, according to the team. "This finding can be used to design improved mitigation strategies for indoor group exercise," the study’s authors added, noting that the data has important implications for infection control during indoor group exercise.

ATAGI recommendations on first booster dose in adolescents aged 12-15 years
1-3 There is currently insufficient evidence that a first booster dose provides additional protection against severe disease for most children and adolescents in this age group.Adolescents aged 12-15 years who are at an increased risk of severe disease may receive a first booster dose From first principles, ATAGI have identified three groups of adolescents aged 12-15 years who may be at greater risk of severe disease from COVID-19 compared to their peers:A first booster dose of COVID-19 vaccine may offer additional protection against severe disease, noting the overall risk of admission to an intensive care unit and death in this age group remains very low.1-3 There have been no confirmed deaths from COVID-19 in Australian adolescents aged 12-15 years during the period of Omicron predominance.1,2 Most European and North American countries have also recorded no deaths except for England (1), Denmark (5), and the United States (17).3 These data reflect deaths in adolescents aged 12-15 years with concurrent SARS-CoV-2 since February 1, 2022, and do not necessarily attribute cause of death to COVID-19.Myocarditis following vaccination remains rare. Data from the United States and Israel suggest the risk of myocarditis following a third dose of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine in male adolescents aged 12-15 years ranges from 1 in 11 000-58 000 doses.

COVID-19: Here’s how Toronto’s mask rules are changing as more Ontario requirements lift
Toronto is making some changes to its COVID-19 masking requirements after the provincial government announced it would be lifting most remaining mask mandates on Saturday.The province’s chief medical officer of health issued a statement Wednesday saying most of Ontario’s existing masking mandates will be lifted, but masks will still be required in long-term care and retirement homes. Most remaining Ontario COVID mask mandates lifting on Saturday In a press release, the City of Toronto said, based on public health advice, masks will “continued to be required in some City of Toronto congregate settings to protect the health and safety of residents and staff.”According to the city, masks will continue to be required in long-term care homes and retirement homes, and will be recommended in congregate living settings like shelters or group homes.The city said on June 11, the provincial government will issue guidance on when masks should be worn in hospitals and other care settings.Here’s a closer look at some other changes in the city:According to the release, masking, screening and testing requirements will continue in “all city directly-operated long-term care homes at this time.”The city said the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) is “strongly recommending” customers continue to wear masks on its vehicles and in stations.What’s more, the city said masks will remain mandatory for both employees and customers using TTC’s Wheel-Trans service.The city said once the mask mandate expires later this week, masks will be “optional” on Go Transit and UP Express.
