@media $media-smGovernors in Oklahoma, Pennsylvania and Virginia announced fresh coronavirus restrictions for their states on Thursday as the number of cases across the U.S. climbs.
Driving the news: The U.S. recorded 221,267 COVID-19 cases on Wednesday and a record 3,124 deaths, per Johns Hopkins University data.
A record 107,248 people were hospitalized with COVID-19 as of Thursday afternoon, per the COVID Tracking Project.
"Even though the national 7-day average for deaths is the highest it’s ever been, only two states reported single-day record deaths today. This may be an indicator that we will see this number rise in the coming weeks," the COVID Tracking Project tweeted Thursday.
Oklahoma: Gov. Kevin Stitt (R) updated an executive order that limits public gatherings to 50% capacity. Churches are exempt.
The order limits indoor sporting events and requires bars and restaurants to close at 11 p.m. CST, except for drive-thru and take out.
It also continues to require state employees and visitors to wear masks in state buildings.
“Our healthcare workers, hospitals, students and teachers and small business owners need our help."
Pennsylvania: Starting Saturday, restaurants in the state will not be allowed to offer indoor dining, Gov. Tom Wolf (D) and Secretary of Health Rachel Levine announced. Outdoor seating and takeout will be permitted.
All extracurricular school activities and sports practices will be suspended.
Indoor gatherings will also be limited to a maximum of 10 people and outdoor gatherings can have no more than 50 people.
The "limited-mitigation orders" will stay in effect through at least Jan. 4.
Virginia: Gov. Ralph Northam (D) signed an executive order that included what he described as a "modified stay at home order."
The order, which goes into effect Monday, imposes a 12 a.m. to 5 a.m. ET curfew for all state residents, except in a number of instances, including getting food or goods, seeking medical attention or going to or coming home from work, school or religious services.
The order does not include an enforcement mechanism and Northam acknowledged the curfew is basically "messaging... but it’s also about saving lives,” the Washington Post noted.
Northam also announced an expanded mask mandate and said the limit on indoor social gatherings will be reduced from 25 to 10.
The order will be in effect through at least Jan. 31.
The big picture: More than 69 million COVID-19 cases and 1.5 million deaths have been recorded worldwide since the pandemic began, per Johns Hopkins University.
Of note: Japan set a record on Thursday, recording 2,973 new cases, the Kyodo news agency reported. This included 602 new cases in Tokyo, the first time the capital city hit more than 600 new infections.
Home Tertiary Education Just in: Gh¢8m Scholarship Fund for Tertiary Students in Ghana to be...
The government has made available GH¢8 million to be awarded as bursaries to deserving students under the Local Tertiary Decentralisation Scholarship Scheme.
The package is meant to support successful applicants to pursue tertiary education in the country leading to the award of a diploma up to a doctorate degree.
The bursary, being issued through the Scholarship Secretariat, is to cater for the academic facility user fees of the beneficiaries in both public and private tertiary institutions in the country.
However, beneficiaries have to renew their application by reapplying on a yearly basis in order to continue to benefit from the scheme.
This came to light at the interview session for a total of 528 applicants who applied for support under the scheme and chose Tamale as the venue for their interview.
They were among a total of 1,200 applicants who were to be interviewed across the Northern Region and among the over 75,000 applicants who were successful in the aptitude test conducted nationwide.
Interacting with the media in Tamale at the start of the interview session, the Registrar at the Scholarship Secretariat, Mr Kingsley Agyemang, said the exercise was to increase transparency and access to tertiary education in the country.
“People do not have to travel to Accra to go through the interview as practised before. This is because a replica of same interview is happening simultaneously in all districts of Ghana,” he said.
Mr Agyemang said applicants applied through an online application system, and went through normal aptitude standard test with a pass mark of 50 per cent and above.
Explaining the scoring process, Mr Agyemang said applicants were scored on four thematic areas of comprehension and motivation, aptitude test score, academic records and general affairs.

But just how accurate was Buffalo Bill Cody's Wild West show? Poster of Buffalo Bill's show, Courtesy: Library of Congress. Authentic Trappings The buffalo were real, to begin with. So was Bill Cody.[/has_googlemeta5][has_googlemeta6]. In 1869, a hack writer of dime novels named Ned Buntline made Buffalo Bill the hero of his melodramatic stories of the Wild West. From here, Cody became a stage actor and a star in his own frontier melodrama "The Scouts of the Prairie", which was created by Ned Buntline as an original Wild West show. In 1883, Cody and some associates introduced "Buffalo Bill's Wild West", which was a. The Buffalo Bill Museum in Cody, Wyoming is one of five museums at the Buffalo Bill Center of the West.

At the beginning of the week, I was lucky enough to enjoy a short break in Devon with my friend Andrea from All You Need Is Love And Cake and our little girls. We had a lovely time, albeit it being way too short, and made use of the great weather by spending an entire day at Bude beach in Cornwall.
Equipped with a bucket, two crab nets, a crab line, some stinky herring in one bag and a picnic in the other, we made our way down to Summerleaze beach – ready for our big beach adventure. Amy and Sophie were instantly in their element. They ran along the beach, climbed dunes, collected stones and watched the sea gulls pick up the rest of their sandwiches. It was utter bliss.
Andrea and I sat in the sun while the girls happily entertained themselves and I loved every second of it. Having grown up by the sea, being by the seaside always makes me happy and reminds me of my childhood: the salty air, the slight breeze, the sea gulls cheekily dancing in the sky and the waves crashing against the shore. There’s no better place to be and refuel for the weeks to come!
We discovered rock pools, unsuccessfully attempted to catch some crabs for the girls and quickly made our way into town for some dry clothes and ice-cream when
