“Come From Away” is going dark until after the Christmas holiday following a positive COVID-19 test among the backstage crew.

Mirvish Productions says it’s cancelled four upcoming performances of the Gander, N.L.-set musical in an effort to “protect all the artists, technicians, staff and audiences, and allow everyone to celebrate the holidays safely.”

The shows affected were scheduled to run Thursday night, Friday afternoon and on Sunday afternoon and evening. The announcement comes as the live theatre industry is rocked by the rapid spread of the highly contagious Omicron variant. “Come From Away” reopened at the Royal Alexandra Theatre only last week as a new round of tighter capacity restrictions were introduced limiting all live theatres and concert halls to 50 per cent capacity.Ticketholders for the affected performances have been contacted with the option to exchange their tickets for another performance or a different theatre show or receive a refund or a credit, according to a representative for Mirvish.

U.S. adds Merck pill as 2nd easy-to-use drug against COVID-19U.S. health regulators have authorized a second pill against COVID-19, Merck's molnupiravir. These are good but the best thing it to get vaccinated and avoid getting sick in the first place. Treatment after the fact is not as good as preventative medicine. Seems the Pfizer pill named Paxlovid is superior and with milder side effects.

They dont deserve it!! Ya old news! That's wonderful... but there'll be no way to access it for most people. And since it must be taken at the very first sign of symptoms, nobody will get it in time for it to be of any use.
