NEW YORK -- Can a pregnant woman spread the coronavirus to her fetus?It’s possible, but it seems to be relatively rare and scientists think they know why that is.Many viruses can cross the placenta and infect a fetus in the womb, and evidence has been growing that the coronavirus sometimes can too.Researchers in Italy studied 31 women with COVID-19 who delivered babies in March and April and found signs of the virus in several samples of umbilical cord blood, the placenta and, in one case, breast milk.

UK, US, Canada accuse Russia of hacking virus vaccine trials
LONDON — Britain, the United States and Canada accused Russia on Thursday of trying to steal information from researchers seeking a COVID-19 vaccine.The three nations alleged that hacking group APT29, also known as Cozy Bear and said to be part of the Russian intelligence service, is attacking academic and pharmaceutical research institutions involved in coronavirus vaccine development.Britain’s National Cybersecurity Centre made the announcement, which was coordinated with authorities in the U.S. and Canada.“It is completely unacceptable that the Russian Intelligence Services are targeting those working to combat the coronavirus pandemic,'' Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said in a statement. “While others pursue their selfish interests with reckless behaviour, the U.K. and its allies are getting on with the hard work of finding a vaccine and protecting global health.''The persistent and ongoing attacks are seen by intelligence officials as an effort to steal intellectual property, rather than to disrupt research.

Virginia becomes first state to adopt 'enforceable' workplace safety standards for COVID-19
RICHMOND, Va. (FOX 5 DC) - Virginia has become the first state in the nation to adopt "enforceable" workplace safety standards for COVID-19.Governor Ralph Northam made the announcement on Twitter Wednesday saying, "Workers should not have to sacrifice their health and safety to earn a living–especially not during a pandemic."The Washington Post reports the Commonwealth's safety and health codes board voted 9-2 to pass the emergency legislation today.The "emergency temporary standard" will require businesses in the state to implement safety measures in an effort to protect their employees from being infected with the coronavirus at work.If companies violate the policies in place, they could reportedly face steep financial penalties.The policies will prohibit workers suspected of having the coronavirus from coming into work, require companies to notify workers of possible exposure to infected coworkers within a 24 hour period, and includes other mandates about physical distancing, protective gear, sanitation, disinfecting and hand-washing, according to the Post.In late May, Virginia's Department of Labor and Industry, under direction from Northam, drafted the regulation.
