Colombia’s Health Ministry says Campohermoso is one of just two counties in the country where cases of coronavirus haven’t been reported. Colombia has more than 1,100 counties and a population of 50 million. Officials and local residents say Campohermoso has been able to keep the virus away thanks to the disciplined behavior of locals and constant campaigns that urge people to keep social distancing and wear face masks. The town’s location in the mountains, far from any important roads, has also helped it to stay coronavirus free.

Florida’s famed South Beach is desperately seeking a new image. Amid another out-of-control spring break, officials say it may be time to change the hip neighborhood’s vibe as a law-breaking, party-all-night oasis. On Saturday, officials enacted an 8 p.m. curfew after street parties devolved into fights, stampedes and destruction of property. Some city officials said they should have taken more stringent measures earlier instead of reacting in the middle of the chaos. Tourists, meanwhile, say the curfew has put a huge damper on the vacations they had been looking forward to and for which they paid good money.

It was one year ago that the terrifying free fall for the stock market suddenly ended, ushering in one of its greatest runs. After plunging nearly 34%, the S&P 500 hit bottom on March 23, 2020, even though the coronavirus pandemic worsened in the ensuing months. Massive support from the Federal Reserve and Congress set a limit for how far stock prices would fall. As time passed, coronavirus vaccines helped stocks shoot even higher. So did legions of first-time investors. It all led to a 76.1% surge for the S&P 500, as well as worries that prices went too far, too fast. 

Authorities say charges are imminent against a man suspected of killing his ex-wife and three others in New Mexico in a series of slayings that included the beating death of a New Jersey resident he claimed sexually abused him as a child. Investigators over the weekend searched a house where Sean Lannon, his ex-wife and their children were believed to have lived in Grants, New Mexico. A police official wouldn't specify what investigators were looking for, only that the warrants were for anything of "evidentiary value.” Lannon is in custody in New Jersey. Authorities also are still looking into his claims that he killed 11 other people in New Mexico.

Tom Brady is turning out to be at the center of the offseason, too. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers swore they wouldn't lose anyone after winning their first Super Bowl since 2003 and they've been true to their word. They franchised Chris Godwin and re-signed Lavonte David, Rob Gronkowski and Shaq Barrett. Brady's former team fell to 7-9 last season and Bill Belichick and Robert Kraft responded by going on a spending spree to remake their roster. Others making an early splash include the Broncos, Browns and Giants.

President Joe Biden’s administration has tried for weeks to keep the public from seeing images from the border like those released Monday. The new images show immigrant teenagers sleeping on mats in crowded conditions, separated in groups by plastic partitions. The administration steadfastly refuses to call the detention of more than 15,000 children in U.S. custody a crisis. But it has stymied most efforts by outsiders to decide for themselves. Officials have barred nonprofit lawyers who conduct oversight from entering a Border Patrol tent where thousands of children and teenagers are detained. And federal agencies have refused or ignored dozens of requests from the media for access to detention sites. 

The numbers attached to the new $113 billion deal to telecast NFL football games through 2033 are so large it's hard to get your head around them — until you realize that the very survival of television networks as we know them may depend upon it. For the biggest broadcast networks, the deal guarantees they will each have a piece of the programming that is more dependable than anything else they put on the air for the next 12 years. Some experts worry about whether the deal's allowance for streaming of all future NFL games may eventually make television networks less vital to viewers. But for the networks, there wasn't much choice.
