ISLAMABAD: South Africa-bound Pakistan cricketers and support staff will be undergoing four Covid-19 tests before their departure to play two limited-overs series against the hosts starting with the opening One-Dayer on April 2 in Pretoria.
The first Covid-19 test will be carried out on March 16 as every member of the 35-member squad will be required to undergo the test before leaving home. “All the members of the squad will only leave their houses once they are tested negative. Upon their arrival for the short training camp in Lahore, the players as well as support staff will be tested again for Covid-19 on March 18,” an official of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) said.
Bidens DHS Releases 1K Remain in Mexico Migrants into U.S. in Two Weeks
President Joe Bidens administration has released more than 1,000 migrants enrolled in the now-defunct Remain in Mexico program into the United States interior over the last two weeks.
After taking office in January, Biden ended the Remain in Mexico policy which had proven remarkably effective in eliminating the Catch and Release program where border crossers are apprehended and subsequently released into the U.S. interior while awaiting their asylum hearings.
To date, of the more than 71,000 asylum cases under Remain in Mexico, less than one percent of foreign nationals were found to have a legitimate asylum claim.
February 27, 2021 THREE universities and colleges offering medical and allied health programs in Cebu have applied for authority to conduct limited face-to-face classes amid the coronavirus pandemic.
They are the University of Cebu-Mandaue, the Southwestern University Phinma and the Cebu Institute of Medicine.
“We have only three, so far, that submitted their applications. These are for clerkship, for hospital-based training of our medical students,” said Maximo Aljibe, Commission on Higher Education (Ched) 7 director, during the Regional Development Council’s first full council meeting for 2021.
The Palace earlier announced that private and public medical schools in areas under the modified general community quarantine status and similar universities and colleges with base hospitals that cater to Covid-19 patients could gradually reopen campuses and resume limited face-to-face classes.
EPD plans to undergo implicit bias training for officers
EPD plans to undergo anti-bias training for officers By Keaton Eberly | February 24, 2021 at 11:37 PM CST - Updated February 24 at 11:38 PM
EVANSVILLE, Ind. (WFIE) - Officers with the Evansville Police Department are set to go through implicit bias and procedural justice training next month.
EPD Chief Billy Bolin tells 14 News the goals are to help officers better understand implicit bias, as well as examine it through the lens of voice, neutrality and respect.
“Every year as part of our yearly in-service training that we do, we do some type of diversity training,” Chief Bolin said. “With everything that went on last year, we felt like we needed to do a little bit more, a little longer class. All of us were taught something by a parent, teacher, somebody, that maybe isn’t accurate. There’s different things that we need to look at, and I’m just hoping the officers will be open-minded to that.”
