COOK ISLANDS FOREIGN AFFAIRS MINISTER WOONTON: ASK NEW ZEALAND ABOUT Submitted by admin on Mon, 06/25/2001 - 00:00
CITIZENSHIP AND UN
By Jason Brown
AVARUA, Rarotonga, Cook Islands (June 16 2001 – Cook Islands News) New Zealand has not told the government why shared citizenship may have to go if the Cook Islands seeks to be a full member of the Commonwealth and the United Nation.
Nor is government asking them why. You’ll have to ask them, says Foreign Affairs Minister Dr. Robert Woonton.
Woonton is also quiet on whether our government is asking their government why the two issues are tied. But he denies that New Zealand Prime Minister Helen Clark is holding back her approval on the issue because of a lack of progress by this country in living up to promises of shared values.
LOS ANGELES Los Angeles County has again broken a record for coronavirus hospitalizations, fulfilling the county public health director’s dire predictions in just days.
Figures released Sunday afternoon show that more than 4,000 people were hospitalized for COVID-19 in the nation’s most populous county.
That breaks the previous record set only the day before, with 3,850 patients in a hospital, and follows the trend of hospitalizations increasing nearly every day since Nov. 1.
The LA County health director warned on Monday, when hospitalizations were near 3,000, that the county could see the statistic to climb to 4,000 within two weeks.
Statewide coronavirus figures were not immediately available Sunday.
The Latest: COVID-19 vaccine begins arriving in Canada
December 13, 2020
TORONTO Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says the first of many freezer-packed COVID-19 vaccine vials have arrived in Canada.
Trudeau tweeted a picture of them being taken off a plane. Canada’s health regulator approved the vaccine made by U.S. drugmaker Pfizer and Germany’s BioNTech last Wednesday.
The Canadian government recently amended its contract with Pfizer so that it would deliver up to 249,000 doses this month. Trudeau says it is good news but he is urging Canadians to continue to wear masks, avoid gatherings and to download a government app that lets users know if they’ve come in contact with those who have tested positive.
