 According to the AP:

The Writers Guild and Hollywood Studios agreed to end the strike. But there has yet to be a resolution for actors.

 Union leaders and Hollywood studios reached a tentative agreement Sunday to end a historic screenwriters’ strike after nearly five months. However, no deal is in the works yet for striking actors. 

The parties reached a deal without the intervention of federal mediators or other government officials, which had been necessary in previous strikes.

President Joe Biden said the agreement was a “testament to the power of collective bargaining.”

US households can order up to four free Covid-19 tests from the government starting today.

As reported by CNN, US households can order up to four free Covid-19 tests from the government starting today. The tests are available online at Covidtests.gov as part of a relaunched program to provide free home tests to Americans. The program was suspended in May after the end of the public health emergency to preserve the US stockpile. The relaunch comes as Covid-19 hospitalizations have been on the rise in the country for months, with weekly admissions now more than triple what they were two months ago. Last week, a White House official acknowledged increased infections and hospital admissions nationally but noted that levels remain substantially lower than during past Covid surges.
