| - Here are the latest developments in the coronavirus crisis. The pandemic has killed more than 430,289 people worldwide since it surfaced in China late last year, according to an AFP tally at 1100 GMT on Sunday, based on official sources. There have been at least 7,794,930 cases registered in 196 countries and territories. The United States has the most deaths, with 115,436, followed by Brazil with 42,720, Britain with 41,662, Italy with 34,301 and France with 29,398 fatalities. China reports its highest daily number of new cases in months with parts of Beijing still under lockdown, sparking second wave fears as other countries ease their own restrictions. Of the 57 new cases logged by authorities, 36 are domestic infections in the capital, where a large wholesale food market at the centre of the outbreak has been closed and nearby housing estates put under lockdown. The Islamic Republic, which has since April been progressively lifting restrictions, reports over 100 deaths in a single day for the first time in two months, with authorities saying a recent surge in cases is due to increased testing. Officials in Afghanistan say they have detected polio in areas previously declared free of the life-threatening disease after immunisation programmes were paused due to the pandemic. "The coronavirus has helped polio spread beyond its endemic region of south and southeast, and now threatens people across the country," says Jan Rasekh, a spokesman for Afghanistan's polio eradication programme. Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez announces that Spain will next Sunday re-establish free travel with fellow EU countries except Portugal, whose land border will remain closed until July 1. Chile's health minister Jaime Manalich resigns amid controversy over the country's official death toll. The government had said publicly the health crisis has claimed more than 3,000 lives but a report at the weekend from an investigative journalism organisation reveals Chile had informed the World Health Organization the death toll was actually more than 5,000. Deputy Health Minister Paula Daza says the higher figure includes both confirmed and suspected COVID-19 deaths, while the government's daily report reflects only those cases confirmed by a test based on a nasal swab. Stadiums are full in New Zealand as rugby fans welcome the return of the sport, with more than 43,000 people watching Auckland Blues beat the Wellington Hurricanes -- the largest turnout at a Super Rugby match in the country for 15 years. burs-eab/lc
