The big debate

Should athletes jump the vaccine queue?
Some people think it is important for
top-level sport to continue. Sport is an important part
of many people’s lives.

What you need to know

● Sean Dyche, the manager of Premier
League football club Burnley, has said
Covid-19 vaccinations for footballers
should be “fast-tracked”. Dyche said
footballers should be first, after key
workers, the elderly and the vulnerable
have had their vaccines.

● The International Olympic Committee TofittretsaotnsPhoDitaKrfeefmIemNDfroHiiOretYosrvtWaOsLsctpeacUau?dignriuauwtemiaocsanlutsshb. e
wants athletes to be vaccinated so that
the Olympic and Paralympic Games can
take place in Japan this summer.

● Covid-19 is the disease caused by the
coronavirus. A vaccine is a medicine that
helps your body use its own defences to
fight a disease.

Out of this world

Robots have become an important part of space
missions. Currently, the Curiosity Rover robot, from
the US space agency NASA, is exploring the surface
of Mars. The International Space Station has a
humanoid robot called Robonaut 2 (R2). Launched
into space in February 2011, R2 performs a series of
maintenance tasks so that the astronauts have more
time to focus on scientific research.

Into the future

Some people fear that robots will take too many jobs
away from humans. This process is called automation.
According to studies, up to 20 million factory jobs
worldwide could be taken by robots in the next 10
years. However, some experts think that the use of
robots will allow businesses to create more jobs than
