BEIJING: China on Saturday said it had given "conditional" approval for Pfizer''s Covid-19 drug Paxlovid to treat adults with mild to moderate illness and a high risk of developing severe disease. The National Medical Products Administration said further research on the drug needed to be undertaken and submitted to the regulator. Paxlovid has so far been authorized in several countries including the United States and Israel, while the European Union has permitted member states to use it ahead of formal approval as an emergency measure against Omicron. Unlike Covid-19 vaccines, the drug does not target the ever-evolving spike protein that the coronavirus uses to invade cells. China, where the coronavirus first emerged in late 2019, has not approved any foreign-made vaccines against Covid-19. The world''s most populous nation has slowed new cases to a trickle with a strict "zero-Covid" strategy of targeted lockdowns, travel restrictions and lengthy quarantines. But Beijing is still fighting several isolated flare-ups, locking down a southern city earlier this week as case numbers spiked.

Canadian Police Arrive To "Remove" Freedom Convoy Protesters From Ambassador Bridge Following Friday''s ''state of emergency'' declaration in Ontario, which empower police to finally clear the protesters blocking the Ambassador Bridge (of course, the Canadian government could have just rolled back the COVID restrictions that inspired the protests to begin with, although Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has used some truly bizarre rhetoric in its defense), Canadian police have moved in early Saturday to start making arrests and breaking the protest. Protesters at the busiest land crossing between the US and Canada staunchly remained overnight despite the threats of violence from the Canadian government. The blockade has forced auto makers in the US to shutter production due to a shortage of parts (while some have been forced to fly parts across the border). According to the AP, a city bus and school bus with the police arrived on scene Saturday morning, and officers got in formation to start clearing out the protesters.
