| - Here are the latest developments in the coronavirus crisis: The pandemic has killed at least 517,416 people worldwide since it surfaced in China late last year, according to an AFP tally at 1900 GMT on Thursday based on official sources. More than 10.7 million people have been infected in 196 countries and territories. The United States is the hardest-hit country with 128,421 deaths. It is followed by Brazil with 60,632, Britain with 43,906, Italy with 34,818 and France with 29,875 fatalities. The US economy regains 4.8 million jobs in June as businesses begin to reopen nationwide, while the unemployment rate fell more than two points to 11.1 percent, the Labor Department reports. President Donald Trump hails the "spectacular news", saying the numbers prove the US economy is coming back "faster, bigger and better than we ever thought possible". Stock markets in the United States and Europe push higher on the news. More than 2.7 million businesses could go under and 8.5 million jobs be lost in Latin America due to the coronavirus crisis, the UN's economic commission for the region predicts. Shops and hotels and restaurants, many of which are small and medium sized businesses, will be hardest hit, it says. Rio de Janeiro's bars and restaurants reopen after more than three months of lockdown, despite criticism by health specialists in Brazil, one of the world's worst-hit nations which earlier surpassed 60,000 deaths from the virus. Rio's gyms, beauty and tattoo parlours may also open on a staggered basis, to avoid crowding. Africa's travel and tourism industry has lost $55 billion due to the lockdowns that shuttered air, land and sea borders, the African Union says. "The impact is really severe," AU commissioner Amani Abou-Zeid tells a virtual briefing, saying some airlines might not survive the pandemic. Sweden says it will audit its ability to secure crucial resources during a crisis after a report found fault with its preparedness for the coronavirus. The Scandinavian country's approach to COVID-19, softer than the rest of Europe, has sparked rows with the World Health Organization and US President Donald Trump, and put it at odds with its Nordic neighbours. An indigenous leader who fought for the land rights of Amazonian communities in Peru, Santiago Manuin, 63 died on Wednesday from COVID-19, his family says. Indigenous people across Latin America have been decimated by the disease, due to weak immune systems and centuries of state neglect. Organisers of the French Open, one of the annual four tennis majors or Grand Slams, say up to 20,000 spectators will be allowed to attend the tournament daily, when it takes place in Paris from September 27 to October 11. The French Tennis Federation (FFT) also says up to 10,000 people will be able to watch the finals. burs-fm-jmy/lc
