| - These are the latest developments in the coronavirus crisis: Italy postpones a round of local elections in Rome, Milan, Naples, Turin and elsewhere until after the summer as the pandemic continues to grip the country. President Jair Bolsonaro tells Brazilians to "stop whining" and renews attacks on restrictions as record daily death tolls force cities and states to announce new partial lockdowns. Spain bans movement between different regions of the country during Easter, traditionally a peak travel period. Phase III trials are set to begin next week for one of four vaccines being developed by Cuba, the first shot developed by a Latin American country to get this far. The UN finds women in Africa are less likely to die from the virus than men but more likely to succumb to maternal complications due to increasingly limited access to services. Irish health officials are investigating four stillbirths in women with the virus whose placentas became infected. Those who violate Kuwait's new 5 pm (1400 GMT) to 5 am curfew and mask mandate could face fines of up to $16,000 or up to three months in jail. But that is nothing on Cambodia, where people face up to 20 years in prison for flouting rules after parliament passes a bill that rights groups have blasted as a tool to curb dissent. Cyprus will open its doors from May 1 to British tourists who have been vaccinated, but the policy is subject to UK restrictions which currently ban international travel. Israel begins giving jabs to Palestinians in the West Bank with permits to work in Jewish settlements in the occupied territory and inside Israel. Zimbabwe approves the Indian Covaxin jab, becoming the first African country to sanction it two weeks after becoming the first country in southern Africa to use China's Sinopharm shot. Kenya begins offering healthcare workers the AstraZeneca vaccine under the Covax scheme. Rwanda also begins its vaccination campaign in earnest after an initial 1,000 doses of the Moderna vaccine were rolled out to select health workers in February. Australia plays down the impact of Italy's decision to block 250,000 AstraZeneca doses due to be delivered Down Under, saying the shipment was not factored into the country's immediate distribution plan. The United States records fewer than 40,000 new cases in one day for the first time in five months after the country peaked at nearly 300,000 new cases on January 8. The virus has killed at least 2,570,291 people since it emerged in China in December 2019, according to an AFP tally compiled from official sources. The US is the worst-affected country with 520,356 deaths, followed by Brazil (260,970), Mexico (188,866), India (157,548) and Britain (124,025). burs-nrh-jmy/pvh/fg/dl
