COLOMBO, Sri Lanka — Sri Lanka has received 500,000 doses of Sinopharm coronavirus vaccine donated by China as the Indian Ocean island nation faces severe shortage of vaccines amid a recent rise in infections. Sri Lanka is facing a shortage of vaccine after the producer in neighboring India failed to provide the promised Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine stocks. Sri Lanka so far has reported 167,172 coronavirus cases and 1,243 deaths from COVID-19. Currently, more than half of Oregon’s eligible population who are 16 or older have received at least a first dose of coronavirus vaccine. — Arkansas will be giving lottery tickets and gift certificates for hunting and fishing licenses to people who get the coronavirus vaccine.
