NBA won’t mandate vaccine for players. Other Covid19 updates: 💉 AU slams vaccine makers for restricting access ⛪ Zimbabwe imposes vaccine on churchgoers 🦍 Most gorillas at Atlanta's zoo test positive More here:
An NBA logo is seen on the facade of its flagship store at the Wangfujing shopping street in Beijing, China October 8, 2019. The NBA will exempt its players from getting vaccinated while mandating that referees and most staff get vaccinated, ESPN reports.
Zoo Atlanta had announced the first positive tests among the western lowland gorillas on Friday after employees noticed the gorillas had been coughing, had runny noses and showed changes in appetite. A veterinary lab at the University of Georgia returned positive tests for the respiratory illness. Officials say there’s no evidence that the gorillas can pass the virus back to humans and visitors are too far away to be infected by gorillas.
The southern African country had already made the vaccine mandatory for civil servants and teachers earlier this month.
