| - Here are the latest developments in the coronavirus crisis: A virus state of emergency in Tokyo and several other regions will be lifted on June 20, just over a month before the Olympics, but the government will implement other measures until July 11 including limiting alcohol sales. Coronavirus infections in Africa are surging as a full blown third wave of the pandemic gathers pace on the continent, fuelled by the spread of more contagious variants, the World Health Organization says. More than 2.5 billion doses of anti-Covid vaccines have been administered around the world, according to an AFP tally based on official sources. However while rich countries have jabbed an average of 72 doses per 100 inhabitants, first and second doses combined, poorer countries have only injected one per 100. Britain records 11,007 new daily coronavirus cases, with the emergence of the Delta variant pushing the figure above 10,000 for the first time since late February. The death rate remains low, with 19 fatalities recorded. EU states must use all the vaccine options available to fight the pandemic, the European Medicines Agency says, as several countries limit the use of so-called viral vector jabs like AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson. New variants of Covid-19 are suspected of causing a sudden jump in the number of cases in Moscow, the mayor Sergei Sobyanin says, after daily new cases soar from 3,000 to 7,000 within a few days. The number of deaths from all causes in the Madrid region, the epicentre of the coronavirus pandemic in Spain, jumped 41 percent in 2020 over the previous year, official figures show. The administration of US President Joe Biden announces plans to spend $3.2 billion to accelerate the development and discovery of antiviral treatments against Covid-19 and future threats. The US embassy in Kabul orders strict confinement of personnel over a surge in Covid cases at the mission where 114 people have been infected and one has died, with several others medically evacuated. Kuwait announces it will allow foreigners who have been fully vaccinated against coronavirus to enter the country from August 1, after a months-long suspension. The pandemic has killed at least 3,835,238 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 600,653 deaths, followed by Brazil with 493,693, India with 381,903, Mexico with 230,624, Peru with 189,522 and Russia with 127,992. 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-eab-jmy/har
