News Wrap: U.S. COVID hospitalizations hit new record

In our news wrap Friday, U.S. COVID-19 deaths top 330,000 as hospitalizations hit another record high. Firefighters in Southern California continue to battle the "Creek Fire,” which forced more than 7,000 residents to evacuate on Christmas Eve. And the U.S. will require travelers flying from the UK to get a COVID test beginning Monday, as a new variant of the virus continues to spread there.
