Covid-19: New Zealand woman dies after Pfizer jab, and Sturgeon self-isolating

Here are five things you need to know about the coronavirus pandemic this Monday morning. We'll have another update for you tomorrow.

New Zealand has reported what it believes to be the first death linked to the Pfizer Covid vaccine. A vaccine safety board said a woman's death was "probably" due to myocarditis or inflammation of the heart muscle, a rare side effect of the jab.
