| - Here are the latest developments in the coronavirus crisis: French officials say tougher restrictions are looming to counter an alarming surge in cases, with doctors warning that many hospitals are just days away from being overrun with patients. Media reports say President Emmanuel Macron might extend the hours of an existing curfew, possibly with a full lockdown on weekends, or order targeted lockdowns in the hardest-hit regions. As anger continues at new restrictions in Italy, Germany too prepares to tighten curbs, with Chancellor Angela Merkel set to propose a "light" lockdown at crisis talks on Wednesday with the leaders of the country's 16 states, media reports say. Sweden tells residents in the south of the country to severely limit their social interactions after a surge in the number of cases last week. European stocks suffer a second day of losses amid the move to tougher restrictions and even lockdowns. The virus has claimed at least 1,160,768 lives worldwide since it first emerged in China late last year, according to an AFP tally on Tuesday based on official sources. At least 43,516,874 cases have been registered across the globe. The United States is the worst-affected country with 225,739 deaths, followed by Brazil with 157,397, India with 119,502, Mexico with 89,171 and Britain with 44,998. Algeria's President Abdelmadjid Tebboune, 74, has been hospitalised, his office says, days after he went into self-isolation after suspected coronavirus cases among his aides. Tebboune's "state of health does not raise any concern", said a statement issued five days ahead of a referendum on constitutional reforms that the government hopes will satisfy a protest movement. Melbourne records its second consecutive day with no new cases, and bars and restaurants in the epicentre of Australia's second-wave outbreak prepare to reopen after a lengthy lockdown. All in-person meetings at the United Nations are cancelled after a member state reported five staffers tested positive. The UN medical service recommended the cancellation pending contact tracing, the president of the UN General Assembly, Volkan Bozkir says in a letter to the 193 UN member states. Airline industry revenues are expected to remain 46 percent lower in 2021 than the $838 billion booked in the last pre-coronavirus year of 2019, industry body IATA says in a marked worsening of its forecasts. It says an expected demand recovery in the fourth quarter of 2020 is unlikely to materialise because of renewed Covid-19 outbreaks and government restrictions in response. FIFA president Gianni Infantino has contracted coronavirus, the world's governing body announces. It says the 50-year-old has mild symptoms and will remain in isolation for a further 10 days. burs-eab-jmy/cds
