| - Here are the latest developments in the coronavirus crisis: The World Health Organization labels the Covid virus strain spreading in India as a "variant of concern at the global level", saying it appears to be more contagious and might possibly have some increased resistance to vaccine protections. A growing number of current and recovered Covid-19 patients in India are contracting a deadly and rare fungal infection, doctors tell AFP. Prime Minister Boris Johnson announces people in England will be able to eat and drink in indoor venues from next week, as the country reports no coronavirus deaths for the first time in over a year. German firm BioNTech, which developed the Pfizer vaccine, says there is no evidence it needs to be adapted to counter variants of the virus. The EU is "fully on track" to ensure all its citizens and residents are able to have a free Covid digital health pass, or "green certificate" next month to ease travel, a spokesman says. Washington is to lift pandemic restrictions on most businesses and public venues, including the city's famed Smithsonian museums and zoo, by May 21, with the daily toll of new Covid-19 cases in the US capital at its lowest level in almost a year. New Yorkers will receive free train rides if they get vaccinated against Covid-19 in subway stations, Governor Andrew Cuomo announces, as part of a move to speed up immunisations. Malaysia will tighten coronavirus curbs, including on social events and movement, across the country from Wednesday ahead of the Eid al-Fitr Muslim holiday, Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin says. The WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus lashes out at "vaccine diplomacy", slamming countries for using Covid-19 jabs to gain competitive advantage rather than engaging in true cooperation to end the pandemic. International Olympic Committee chief Thomas Bach has been forced to postpone a visit to Japan as virus cases surge less than three months before the Tokyo Games. The United Arab Emirates will from Wednesday suspend the entry of all travellers, including transit passengers, from Bangladesh, Pakistan, Nepal and Sri Lanka, having already suspended those from India. Milan's La Scala opera house reopens to the public after six months of silence imposed by the coronavirus. The pandemic has killed at least 3,294,812 people worldwide since the virus first emerged in late 2019, according to an AFP compilation of official data. The US is the worst-affected country with 581,755 deaths, followed by Brazil with 422,340, India 246,116, Mexico 218,985 and Britain 127,605. burs-eab-jmy/pvh
