UK to add Covaxin to approved list of COVID-19 vaccines from November 22

The British government stated that from November 22, India’s Covaxin will be added to its list of approved COVID-19 vaccines for international travelers, which means that those who have been vaccinated with the vaccine manufactured by Bharat Biotech will not have to self-help after arriving in the UK. isolation. This is after the World Health Organization (WHO) included Covaxin on its emergency use list, which is the second most used agent in India.

Covishield, an Oxford-AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine made in India, was added to the UK’s approved list last month. “For Indian tourists to the UK, this is great news. From November 22nd, travelers who have received the COVID19 vaccine (including Covaxin) approved by the World Health Organization on the emergency use list will not have to self-quarantine; so join those People who are fully vaccinated against Covishield,” the British High Commissioner to India Alex Ellis said on Twitter on Monday. The changes will take effect at 4 a.m. on November 22. In addition to Covaxin, China’s Sinovac and Sinopharm are on the WHO emergency use list and will be recognized by the British government as an approved vaccine for inbound travel, benefiting fully vaccinated people from the United Arab Emirates and Malaysia.

These fully vaccinated passengers do not need to undergo pre-departure testing, day 8 testing or self-isolation before arrival. “As we continue to recover from the pandemic and expand our recognition of international vaccines, today’s announcement marks the next step in our relaunch of international travel,” said the British Transport Secretary Grant Shaps. British Health Minister Sajid Javid said: “The red list and the quarantine system are still vital to protecting our borders. As we said, we will not hesitate to take action to add countries when necessary. To the red list.” The British government has also simplified the rules for all travel to the UK under the age of 18.

Stephanie Hsu and Zosia Mamet talk about their new series Laid, and some of the horrors of dating as millennials.
Imagine a scenario where anyone and everyone you have ever been intimate with begins to die one by one. Is it a curse? If yes, then who is cursed? These are questions that Stephanie Hsu‘s Ruby battles with in the new zany comedy, Laid. Ahead of the show’s release, Stephanie and co-star Zosia Mamet spoke exclusively with HT about their roles, the show’s unique premise, and the horrors of dating as millennials.

Stephanie Hsu on her character’s flawed morality

Laid, created by Nahnatchka Khan and Sally Bradford McKenna, is the story of Ruby (Stephanie Hsu), who discovers that all her sexual partners are dying one by one, and she must warn them. Helping her in this unique quest is her best friend AJ (Zosia). The fun thing about Laid is that the protagonists are not the usual likeable characters. “She is totally an anti-hero of our story. I really love that,” says Stephanie, referring to Ruby’s moral greyness. “I am not a perfect person and I love playing flawed characters. But it was difficult. The creators told me that she is a total narcissist. But narcissists don’t think they are one, so I had to figure out a way to love her. For me, playing Ruby was about getting into her psychology and finding the innocent part of her – which is that she just wants love,” the actor adds.

While sitcoms usually add the best friend as the voice of reason trope, Laid diverges from that, with AJ even zanier and more morally ambiguous than Ruby. Talking about playing such a colourful character, Zosia Mamet says, “When you play not-so-likable or zany characters, people don’t believe they are that way. I don’t think AJ wakes up every morning and thinks, ‘I am absolutely crazy’. It’s about trusting the writing and finding an organic way into these characters to make them seem grounded, real, and relatable.”

Stephanie, Zosia reveal the worst gifts they received from partners

In Laid, Ruby gives the gift of death to the men she is with, even if that is inadvertent. Ask the women about the worst ‘gift’ a partner has ever given them, and the discussions veer into the unusual horrors of modern-day dating. “I got a vintage wooden duck decoy from someone. It was broken, and I thought, ‘What does this say about our relationship?’. They didn’t know me well enough to know if I’d want this but also that they gave me something old and ailing,” Zosia says with a laugh.
