BREAKING NEWS BRIEF
Interpol has issued a ‘red notice’ for the MIT graduate accused of murdering a Yale student
Interpol has issued a “red notice” for the Massachusetts Institute of Technology graduate student Qinxuan Pan, who is a suspect in the murder of a graduate student at Yale University, Kevin Jiang.
The red notice serves as an “international wanted persons notice,” and comes over a month after the U.S. Marshals Service expanded its search for the 29-year-old suspect, accused of murdering Jiang on February 6.
Jiang’s body was discovered near Yale University’s campus, and he had sustained several gunshot wounds. It remains unclear whether or not Jiang’s death is connected to a road rage incident, or whether Pan had targeted him.

AROUND THE GLOBE
The World Health Organization is not ready to endorse vaccine passports just yet
While many countries are calling for the use of vaccine passports for people to travel, the World Health Organization (WHO) is hesitant to endorse such a passport.
A vaccine passport is proof that an individual has been fully vaccinated against the virus. As more countries look to open up and return to some sense of normalcy, vaccine passports have been proposed as a safety precaution that could help open travel back up while also keeping virus cases down.
And while many are pushing for such a passport, the WHO was quick to indicate that it will not endorse them. A WHO spokesperson cited equity concerns as one of the reasons, since the organization is fearful that certain populations and demographics aren’t able to get the vaccine as easily as others. Another concern was it is not yet known if fully vaccinated individuals can still transmit the virus to others.

EDUCATION
Nearly 80% of school staff nationwide have had at least one vaccine dose
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, nearly 80% of all teachers, school staff, and child care workers had received at least one dose of a vaccine by the end of March. The agency estimates that over two million school staff were vaccinated through the Federal Retail Pharmacy Program in March. Additionally, it estimates between five and six million more have been vaccinated through state programs
President Joe Biden acknowledged the milestone on Tuesday when he moved up the deadline for states to open up coronavirus vaccine eligibility to all adults by nearly two weeks to April 19. While the CDC said in a press release that the number was “nearly” 80%, Biden said it was over that figure. “That’s great progress, protecting our educators and essential workers,” Biden said at the White House.
