U.S. cruises could resume by mid-summer with restrictions, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Tuesday after Carnival Corp., the largest operator, threatened to relocate ships to other markets.

Ontario will implement further Covid-19 restrictions soon, with a focus on areas being hardest hit as a deadlier strain of coronavirus surges through Canada’s most populous province. The new measures will aim to curb the spread of the virus in Toronto and suburban regions of Peel and York, which represent about 60% of new infections, Ontario Premier Doug Ford said Tuesday at a news conference. De

Brazil reported more than 4,000 Covid-19 daily deaths for the first time as the pandemic continues to rage across the nation. The Health Ministry registered 4,195 fatalities on Tuesday, bringing the total since the virus arrived to 336,947, the second-highest globally, trailing only the U.S. “If Brazil keeps the current pace, the country will probably reach 5,000 daily deaths in April,” said Chri

President Joe Biden said he wants all American adults eligible for a coronavirus vaccine by April 19, two weeks earlier than his previous goal. All but two states are already set to meet that goal, with Oregon and Hawaii having planned to open up vaccines to all non-minors on May 1. Biden said there will be no more confusing restrictions. But the president added it’s not time to celebrate yet and

Brown University and Northeastern University on Tuesday joined a group of U.S. colleges that will require students to get a Covid-19 vaccine in order to return to campus in the fall.

Vaccinations of children in a study of the Covid-19 shot developed by AstraZeneca and the University of Oxford have been paused while the U.K.’s drug regulator investigates rare cases of blood clots in adults.

California officials plan to fully reopen the economy on June 15 -- if the pandemic continues to abate -- after driving down coronavirus case loads in the most populous U.S. state. Capacity limits on restaurants, movie theaters and other businesses will be lifted, Secretary of Health and Human Services Mark Ghaly said on a conference call with reporters Tuesday. Governor Gavin Newsom has been sl

Antibodies to the Covid-19 virus persist for at least six months after patients receive the second dose of Moderna Inc.’s vaccine, according to a new analysis of lab results from 33 healthy adults in the drugmaker’s phase one trial.

The U.S. government won’t issue so-called vaccine passports, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said, though the Biden administration plans guidance for companies developing the credentials. The administration doesn’t want vaccine passports “used against people unfairly” and will provide guidance “that will look like an FAQ” for private-sector development of the credentials, she said at a brief

Hungary, suffering the world’s highest number of deaths per capita from Covid-19, prepared to relax lockdown restrictions after giving a quarter of its citizens at least one dose of a vaccine. Shops and services can restart from Wednesday, Prime Minister Viktor Orban said in a video on Facebook, after reaching the government’s target of at least one dose for 2.5 million people, a level the premie
