The pandemic has killed at least 375,555 people worldwide since it surfaced in China late last year, according to an AFP tally at 1100 GMT on Tuesday, based on official sources. There have been 6,279,391 cases registered in 196 countries and territories. The United States is the worst-hit country with 105,147 deaths, followed by Britain with 39,045, Italy with 33,475, Brazil with 29,937 and France with 28,833. France marks a symbolic victory as its cafes, bars and restaurants open, for outdoor service only in Paris, fully functional in most other places. Beaches and weddings are also back in business, as are museums and theatres. Italian President Sergio Mattarella warns the country on its national day that the crisis is not over, a day after a leading doctor creates a furore by claiming the virus no longer "exists" in Italy. Russia's government announces plans to spend some $72 billion to help restore the economy after the coronavirus shutdown. It will boost jobs, incomes and economic growth over a two-year period, says Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin. World Bank president David Malpass warns the global economy faces "staggeringly large" losses from the pandemic, and tha developing nations will be forced to rethink the structure of their economies. Indonesia announces it is pulling out of the annual Islamic pilgrimage to Mecca, removing the largest contingent of worshippers. More than 220,000 people from the world's biggest Muslim-majority country had been set to take part. Aid workers face a "race against time" to prevent a catastrophe in Yemen, UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres warns. "Tackling COVID-19 on top of the existing humanitarian emergency requires urgent action," Guterres says.

The French economy is expected to shrink 11 percent this year, a "brutal" shock and worse than the government's previous forecast of an eight percent contraction, says Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire. South Korea's economic contraction will worsen in the current quarter, the central bank forecasts. The Bank of Korea predicts the economy will shrink at least 2.0 percent in the April-June period over the previous three months.
