By Associated Press Undefined WUHAN, China (AP) — The WHO team of international researchers that arrived in the central Chinese city of Wuhan on Thursday hopes to find clues to the origin of the COVID-19 pandemic.

A November 26 letter from the presidency asked the head of Uganda's national drug authority to 'work out a mechanism' to clear the importation of the vaccines.
China has about five COVID-19 vaccine candidates at different levels of trials. It was not clear what vaccine was being imported into Uganda.

On Wednesday, the United Arab Emirates said the vaccine has 86% efficacy, citing an interim analysis of late-stage clinical trials.
China has used the drug to vaccinate up to a million people under its emergency use program.
On Tuesday, Morocco said it was ordering up to 10 million doses of the vaccine.

The Affordable Insulin for the COVID-19 Emergency Act will require that seniors who are enrolled in Medicare Part D prescription drug plans be able to obtain insulin and associated medical supplies to manage their diabetes without copayments, coinsurance, deductibles, or other cost-sharing between now and the end of the COVID-19 emergency.
“The Affordable Insulin for the COVID-19 Emergency Act marks a key step in protecting Americans living with diabetes at this unusually difficult time for the diabetes community,” said Tracey Brown, CEO of the American Diabetes Association.
“COVID-19 is having a disproportionate impact on seniors, and seniors with diabetes face particularly high risks,” said Congresswoman Waters.
