| - Here are the latest developments in the coronavirus crisis: France's top health authority clears AstraZeneca's Covid-19 vaccine for use, but advises against giving it to people over 65. Swedish health officials also recommend that the vaccine primarily be used for those under 65, citing a lack of evidence for its efficacy among the elderly. Russia's Sputnik V vaccine is 91.6 percent effective against symptomatic Covid-19, says an analysis published in The Lancet. German Chancellor Angela Merkel says all vaccines "are welcome" in the EU once they have received regulatory approval, and says that she had recently spoken to President Vladimir Putin about the Russian vaccine. More than 100 million vaccines have been given around the world, an AFP tally from official sources found Tuesday. But none of the world's 29 poorest countries has formally started mass vaccination drives, while the richest nations have provided more than two-thirds of jabs administered. Sales of the Covid-19 vaccine developed by Pfizer and BioNTech could reach up to $15 billion in 2021 and go higher if Pfizer signs additional supply contracts, Pfizer says. American firm Novavax will become the first to manufacture a Covid-19 vaccine in Canada, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says. The Palestinian Authority begins vaccinating its health workers in the occupied West Bank against Covid-19 after receiving doses from Israel, which has faced mounting global pressure to help Palestinians to gain access to vaccines. A fresh cluster of 12 coronavirus cases in Vietnam was caused by the British variant, authorities say, as they rush to contain the country's most serious ever outbreak. The Netherlands extends many coronavirus measures until March 2 due to concerns over the "rapid rise" of a variant first identified in Britain, Prime Minister Mark Rutte says, adding a curfew that is due to run until February 10 will be reviewed following the advice of scientists. US oil company Exxon Mobil suffered a 2020 loss of $22.4 billion in the wake of lower oil prices amid the Covid-19 crisis. Captain Sir Tom Moore, the British World War II veteran who raised a record-breaking £33 million ($45 million, 37.4 million euros) for healthcare charities during last year's coronavirus lockdown dies of Covid aged 100. Real Madrid president Florentino Perez, 73, has tested positive for coronavirus, the reigning Spanish champions announce, saying he "is not presenting any symptoms". The coronavirus has killed more than 2,237,990 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 US on 443,365, Brazil 225,099 and Mexico 159,100. The global death toll, calculated from official daily figures published by national health authorities, is an underestimate and does not include later revisions by statistics agencies. burs-nrh-jmy/ach
