He will tour tornado damage in Mayfield, Princeton and Dawson Springs. POTUS Biden is headed to Kentucky to survey the damage and offer federal support for the victims of devastating tornadoes that killed dozens. More than 30 tornadoes tore through Kentucky in Mayfield, Princeton & Dawson Springs and at least four other states over the weekend, killing at least 88 people and demolishing homes, downing power lines and cutting off residents from key utilities as temperatures dropped below freezing in Kentucky earlier this week. Biden will visit Fort Campbell for a storm briefing. While POTUS is expected to speak, it’s not the focus of the trip. White House press secretary Psaki said the POTUS will meet with storm victims and local officials to provide federal support. POTUS Joe Biden “wants to hear directly from people, and he wants to offer his support directly to them,” Psaki said. Asked about the president’s visit and the reception he’ll receive in this prominently GOP region, Tara Wilson replied: “Don’t know. I think that as long as everybody’s hearts are in the right place, we need to not focus on politics right now.” She said it was a “very positive thing” that Biden was visiting, and she and her husband expressed hope the president might help unite the community. “This place is like a bomb has been dropped on it. And everyone needs to come together,” Wilson said. “So far that’s what’s happening. You’re seeing everyone pull together.” POTUS trip to Kentucky comes at the close of a year marked by a notable uptick in extreme weather occurrences driven primarily by climate change. Only a month after he was sworn into office, POTUS went to Houston to survey the damage wrought by last winter’s historic storm there. The $1 trillion infrastructure bill, signed into law last month, includes billions for climate resilience projects aimed to better defend people and property from future storms, wildfires, and other natural disasters. Biden said earlier this week during a White House briefing on the tragedy with Department of Homeland Security Secretary Mayorkas and other top emergency response officials that the federal government is committed to providing whatever the affected states need in the aftermath of the storm.

Officials announced on Wednesday that as of Sept. 22, Ontario residents will need to show proof of full vaccination (having received two doses at least 14 days before entry) along with photo ID in order to access the following settings: Restaurants, bars, nightclubs, meeting and event spaces, gyms and fitness facilities (exception for youth recreational sports), sports events, casinos, gaming establishments, concerts, music festivals, theatres, cinemas, strip clubs, bathhouses, and racing venues. As of Oct. 22, the Ontario government is scheduled to roll out a new QR code-based application for residents and business operators to use in order for scans. Officials said new certificates similar to the current PDF ones will be issued. The new documents will contain a unique QR code that when scanned will display the holder’s current vaccination status (yes or no) and the person’s name. Although the enhanced certificate program covers various indoor settings, other ones with a high number of congregants such as churches or settings where there are extended stays such as hair salons were left out of the program. Regardless of vaccination status, people can’t be prevented from accessing necessary medical care, food at groceries stores, medical supplies or other essential items.
