The French head of AstraZeneca says in an interview with AFP that three billion doses of the vaccine it has developed with Oxford University will be made available in 2021 at cost -- around 2.50 euros ($3) per dose. In a new book Pope Francis takes aim at people who protest against pandemic restrictions saying "they are incapable of moving outside of their own little world of interests." After a sharp uptick in cases in Finland's capital, the mayor announces tough new restrictions closing high schools, libraries and swimming pools and banning public events. Spain's King Felipe VI is self-isolating after coming into contact with a person who tested positive. Developers of Russia's Sputnik V vaccine say it is 95 percent effective according to a second interim analysis of clinical trial data, without noting the number of cases used to make the calculation. For the first time since March, English Premier League clubs can look forward to welcoming back spectators in highly limited numbers from December 2. Hundreds of flights are cancelled after Shanghai reported seven local infections linked to the airport this month, with most cases found in the past few days. Despite pleas for people not to travel, US transport authorities say the weekend was busiest since the start of the pandemic with more than three million people passing through airports ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday. Germany's states have agreed to guidelines capping gatherings to 10 people over Christmas, dashing hopes for large get-togethers between December 23 and January 1. The World Health Organization says avoiding family parties is "the safest bet" during the holidays, suggesting virtual visits might be the way to go. The coronavirus has killed at least 1,397,322 people since the outbreak emerged in China last December, according to a tally from official sources compiled by AFP on Tuesday. There were 7,896 new deaths and 593,934 new cases recorded worldwide in the previous 24 hours. The United States is the worst-affected country with 257,707 deaths, followed by Brazil with 169,485 deaths; India with 134,218 deaths; Mexico with 101,926 deaths; and the United Kingdom with 55,230 deaths. Hoping to revive the ailing travel industry, the UK government says people coming to the country can end their two-week quarantine if testing negative at least five days after arriving. Mexican authorities are closing a Catholic shrine in the north of Mexico that usually attracts millions of pilgrims during next month's homage to the Virgin of Guadalupe. bur-nrh/fg/ach
