| - Here are the latest developments in the coronavirus crisis: WHO experts visit the market in central China linked to the first known Covid-19 cluster, seeking clues about the outbreak of the pandemic in a politically sensitive mission that is being tightly controlled, with the WHO already lowering expectations of pinpointing the source of the virus. AstraZeneca will deliver 30 percent more vaccine doses to the EU than it pledged last week, European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen says. Germany had threatened legal action against laboratories failing to deliver vaccines to the European Union on schedule. A two-week ban on foreign travel takes effect in Portugal as the country grapples with the worst Covid-19 surge anywhere in the world. Nearly half of the country's 12,000 deaths have occurred in January alone during a third wave of the virus. Australia imposes a snap five-day lockdown in Perth after the detection of a single case -- a security guard at a quarantine hotel -- in the city of roughly two million people. France is to close its borders to non-European Union countries for all except essential travel, but has stepped back from a widely anticipated third lockdown. Large shopping centres -- excluding those where food is sold -- are to be closed and enforcement of a 6-6 overnight curfew is to be stepped up. China temporarily blocks entry to foreign nationals travelling from Canada, even those with current residency permits, "in view of the current Covid-19 situation and the need of epidemic prevention and control," their embassy in Ottawa says. Belgian police say they detained more than 200 people to prevent banned demonstrations in Brussels against measures to curb the spread of the coronavirus, while Austrian police detain some protesters at a banned march organised by the far-right FPOe party. Polish police raid discos defying restrictions, using stun grenades and tear gas to clear dance floors. In the Netherlands, which has seen the most violent protests against coronavirus curbs in Europe, many protesters organise more peaceful action dubbed Drinking Coffee Together in the central city of Apeldoorn. But in Amsterdam, police clear some 600 people from the city's famous museum square gathered for an illegal protest. Thousands of ultra-Orthodox Jews, many not wearing masks, defy Israel's lockdown to attend a prominent rabbi's funeral in Jerusalem. The novel coronavirus has killed more than 2,221,000 people since the outbreak emerged in China in December 2019, according to an AFP tally based on official sources. The countries with the most deaths are the United States with 440,221, Brazil with 223,945 and Mexico with 158,074. But the officially recorded number of deaths globally, calculated from daily figures published by national health authorities, is an underestimate. It does not include later revisions by statistics agencies. burs-paj-ot/gd/jj
