New London Day photojournalist Sarah Gordon has spent the past 11 months hunting for images to illustrate how our community is coping with the coronavirus pandemic.
Gordon, with the rest of The Day s visual team Sean Elliot, Dana Jensen and Peter Huoppi have captured stunning images day after day.

On Thursday, Gordon will discuss her work with a panel of leading state journalists at the Connecticut Foundation for Open Government s year-in-review program to The Stories Behind the Biggest Stories of 2020. The virtual event is free, but participants are required to register at www.ctfog.org to obtain a Webex link.

Health Minister Zweli Mkhize said on Sunday that the government would await advice from scientists on how best to proceed, after a trial showed the AstraZeneca vaccine did not significantly reduce the risk of mild or moderate COVID-19 from the 501Y.V2 variant that caused a second wave of infections starting late last year. Prior to widespread circulation of the more contagious variant, the vaccine was showing efficacy of around 75%, researchers said. In a later analysis based mostly on infections by the new variant, there was only a 22% lower risk of developing mild-to-moderate COVID-19 versus those given a placebo. Although researchers said the figure was not statistically significant, du
