According to the health care provider, only 544 people or 0.1 per cent have been subsequently diagnosed with the Covid-19, there have been four severe cases and no one has died. Full protection against Covid-19 for people who have been vaccinated is believed to kick in a week after the second shot, so the Maccabi data covers all those of its members who are at seven or more days after receiving that second dose, reports The Times of Israel.Macc

New funding for psychological skills training for GPs to boost access to mental health care in Victoria
RACGP
The Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP) is welcoming new funding for rural Victorian GPs to undergo training to boost access to mental health care.
It comes after the Victorian Government announced a snap 5-day lockdown on Friday as a ‘circuit breaker’ against rising cases of a more infectious ‘UK’ strain of the COVID-19 virus.
The Rural Workforce Agency Victoria (RWAV) will provide support for up to 5% of the RACGP’s members in rural Victoria to become Medicare registered Focused Psychological Service providers – approximately 100 GPs.
The federal minimum wage has stood at $7.25 per hour since 2009.
âItâs outdated,â said economist Tatiana Bailey, director of the UCCS Economic Forum in the College of Business. âWho lives on that?â
Although Bailey thinks an increase in the minimum wage is overdue, she and many business owners think the costs and consequences of a raise would be too great to enact it right now.
A minimum wage proposal is part of the federal stimulus package being considered in the U.S. Congress. While the proposal is shining a spotlight on Americaâs low-wage workers and the businesses that employ them, most observers think itâs unlikely to pass.
