The rumbles have started that the street races will likely be cancelled due to uncertainty due to covid and the long lead time these races need.
Monaco
Azererbajan
Canada
Canada is no real surprise. They taking very hard line response and have closed their borders and are putting on draconian measures on their citizens.
Likely replacements are: Istanbul, Mugello and Nurburgring.

Formula 1 pushed back on these rumors and released the following statement.
We have set out the details of the revised 2021 calendar and there are no other changes. The suggestion street races will not take place are completely wrong.

With Portugal in doubt, two races may happen in Bahrain.

Bahrain has announced they will be offering F1 the Pfizer Vaccine during their stay (both shots).
That should help F1 eliminate (or least minimize) possible Covid disruptions if they are able to vaccinate the drivers and large portion of the paddock.

I didn't read far enough down. F1 has said they will not accept the vaccinations.
I find this somewhat odd, if the country has the bandwidth to do this there is no downside. They key thing is to get the vaccinations out as quick as possible, and people who traveling internationally is even more important as they could be bringing back new strains to their country. So this might be short sighted.

It looks like individuals and teams are actually accepting the vaccinations. Checo and Sainz got vaccinated.
The Alpha Tauri team (whole team) all got their first first shot.
This is probably looking like a better and better option with Europe struggling with the safety of the Oxford vaccine (Bahrain is offering the Pfizer) and the general very slow rollout across Europe.
