2:48 p.m.: British Airways and Delta have agreed to start testing travelers destined for New York for COVID-19 before they fly from the United Kingdom, Governor Andrew Cuomo announced Monday.
Cuomo had previously urged the U.S. government to implement stricter traveling restrictions onto the United Kingdom after Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced a variant of the virus was 70% more transmissible than the original version the state and country are fighting. This was a very rapid decision by [British Airways], Cuomo told reporters Monday. They were considerate and I truly appreciate it. Obviously British Airways could have taken a different path.

Pallets of Moderna s COVID-19 vaccines are being shipped from an Olive Branch, Mississippi distribution center this morning.
During the early days of the pandemic, it is believed 54 residents died at the Hebrew Home of Riverdale, but there have not been any positive cases since June. Now with the vaccine actually there, president and CEO Daniel Reingold says it s a huge relief. Our residents are so excited that the possibility of hugging a loved one is going to be coming sooner than later, he said.
The vaccinations began at 10 a.m., with a team of six pharmacists from Walgreens going room by room. Staff from CVS will do the same at other facilities.
