| - These are the latest developments in the coronavirus crisis: The international investigation into the pandemic's origins in China will publish its report in the week of March 15, the World Health Organization says. Canada authorises the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, adding the shot to its approved list alongside AstraZeneca, Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna. Ottawa has ordered up to 38 million doses of the single shot jab. Italy defends blocking a shipment of AstraZeneca coronavirus vaccines to Australia, saying such action towards less affected countries was legitimate while it was facing "unacceptable" delivery delays. Denmark becomes the latest European country to approve the use of the AstraZeneca vaccine for people over 65, citing evidence from a study on the vaccine in Scotland. Japan extends a virus state of emergency in the Tokyo area by two weeks, less than five months before the pandemic-postponed Tokyo Olympics. New Zealand's Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announces the end of a lockdown in the country's largest city Auckland from early Sunday, as authorities say they are confident that a virus cluster has been contained. Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin ends mandatory stay-at-home orders for over-65s and people with chronic illnesses, lifting one of the Russian capital's last remaining coronavirus restrictions. Italy adds the southern region of Campania, which includes Naples, to its "red" zones It joins the regions of Basilicata and Molise in the highest-risk level, where bars and restaurants are closed as well as all schools including nurseries and museums. And Serbia says it will shut down all but essential businesses over the weekend to combat a spike in new coronavirus cases. The United States added 379,000 jobs last month, almost double expectations, the vast majority in the leisure and hospitality sector, including the bars and restaurants that were the first to close amid Covid restrictions nearly a year ago. 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 some health workers in February. 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). The number of deaths due to Covid-19 dropped by seven percent around the world over the past week, although the rate of new cases remained stable, according to AFP's specialised database. burs-nrh-jmy/har
