Summary

More American health care workers are receiving the covid-19 vaccine. A nurse in Boston got her first dose of the Moderna vaccine on Monday hours later President-elect Joe Biden received the Pfizer vaccine. But there is a new covid concern: a more virulent strain of virus in the U.K. prompting British Prime Minister Boris Johnson to impose more lockdown restrictions. . Dr. Marc Siegel, Fox News contributor, professor of medicine at NYU Langone Medical Center, explains what you need to know about the new covid strain, a new home covid test and how to safely celebrate the holidays. 2020 was a rough year for American cities with the coronavirus pandemic making the urban lifestyle unattractive and too expensive to live in. As a result, New York City saw many people moving out of the once bustling city and into lower cost suburban areas. When Mayor Bill DeBlasio leaves office after serving two-terms, his replacement will have many challenges to take on. Zach Iscol is an Iraq war veteran who is running for New York City mayor. He joins today's Fox News Rundown to explain why he's decided to run and how he plans to help to bring the city back to what it once was. Plus, commentary by Robert Jeffress, Fox News contributor and pastor of the Dallas First Baptist Church. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
