6:50 p.m.: Italy made COVID-19 vaccines mandatory for health-care workers in April. Health officials said today they identified 103 new cases of COVID-19 and no deaths linked to the novel coronavirus. A total of nearly 18.5 million doses of a COVID-19 vaccine have been given out in the province. The number of Games-linked COVID-19 cases in Japan this month was 79 on Wednesday, with more international athletes testing positive at home and unable to travel. Even Canada’s chief public health officer Dr. Theresa Tam took a break from her duties last week to get in some family time.
