| - Here are the latest developments in the coronavirus crisis: Russia's Saint Petersburg, like the capital Moscow, posts record Covid-19 deaths as it prepares to host a Euro 2020 quarter-final on Friday despite the spread of the Delta variant. The Twenty20 cricket World Cup in October and November will be moved to the United Arab Emirates from India due to the pandemic, an Indian cricket board official says. After declining fast for two months, the rate of Covid infections in the United States has levelled off since mid-June thanks to localised spikes in under-vaccinated regions of the country, data from covSpectrum tracker shows. Infections appear in cities across Australia, with Brisbane, Darwin, Perth and Sydney all reporting new cases of the highly infectious Delta variant, prompting local authorities to impose restrictions. All of Italy becomes a mask-free, "low-risk" zone for the virus, marking a dramatic milestone for the first European country to be hit by the global pandemic in February 2020. South Africa's President Cyril Ramaphosa announces fresh restrictions in a televised address and says the country "is facing a massive resurgence of infection". Hong Kong bans all incoming flights from the United Kingdom from July 1 to curb the Delta strain. The British government is intent on lifting all of England's coronavirus restrictions on July 19, Sajid Javid says in his maiden speech to parliament as health secretary. Hundreds of desperate Pakistani overseas workers overrun a government-run coronavirus vaccination centre in the capital as the nation grapples with a shortage of doses. Thousands of people are stranded in Bangladesh's capital Dhaka as authorities halt almost all public transport ahead of a sweeping lockdown on Thursday imposed to combat a deadly resurgence of infections. Delayed second and third doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine boost immunity against Covid-19, a study by Oxford University, which developed the jab with the British-Swedish firm, says. The pandemic has killed at least 3,925,816 people since the virus first emerged in December 2019, according to an AFP compilation of official data at 1000 GMT Monday. The United States is the worst-affected country with 603,967 deaths, followed by Brazil with 513,474, India with 396,730, Mexico 232,564 and Peru with 191,899. 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/ach
