| - Here are the latest developments in the coronavirus crisis: The World Health Organization approves the Sinovac Covid-19 vaccine for emergency use -- the second Chinese jab to receive the WHO's green light after Sinopharm. Britain reports zero daily deaths from Covid-19 for the first time since July 30, 2020, despite fears over a possible third wave of cases. However Covid restrictions will remain in several areas of Scotland, First Minister Nicola Sturgeon says separately, putting pressure on British Prime Minister Boris Johnson to delay plans to lift measures in England. The World Bank, World Health Organization, International Monetary Fund and World Trade Organization pool forces to call on rich countries to dig deep to ensure poorer nations are vaccinated. And five of the world's biggest emerging economies - Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa - say that measures such as waiving intellectual property rights over jabs could help poorer nations battle the pandemic. Malaysia goes into a tough nationwide lockdown as it battles a fresh surge. Neighbouring Thailand and Vietnam are also hammered by new outbreaks, with Hanoi worried by a new hybrid variant of the highly infectious Indian and British strains. OPEC and its allies agree to maintain their planned production increases, as pandemic-hit demand for crude recovers. Ireland's government announces a stimulus package worth more than 4.0 billion euros ($4.9 billion) to claw its economy out of the "enormous damage" wreaked by the pandemic. South Africa's unemployment rate climbed to its highest level on record in the first quarter, as the country reels from the pandemic. This year's men's T20 World Cup could be moved from India to the United Arab Emirates in response to the rise in coronavirus cases in the sub-continent, the International Cricket Council says. The pandemic has killed at least 3,551,488 people worldwide since the virus first emerged in December 2019, according to an AFP compilation of official data. The US is the worst-affected country with 594,568 deaths, followed by Brazil with 462,791, India with 331,895, Mexico with 223,568 and Britain with 127,782. The figures are based on reports by health authorities in each country, but do not take into account upward revisions carried out later by statistical bodies. The WHO says up to three times more people have died directly or indirectly due to the pandemic than official figures suggest. burs-fg-jmy/pvh
