| - Here are the latest developments in the coronavirus crisis: Hundreds of millions of people in China go on the move ahead of their first major national holiday since the country beat its coronavirus outbreak through a lockdown, filling airports and train stations. The Golden Week holiday marks the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949 and sees an astonishing annual movement of people trying to get home or take holidays. Spain's government publishes a decree extending drastic restrictions across Madrid, with partial lockdown measures to come into play within 48 hours, despite fierce opposition from the regional authorities. Madrid is struggling with a rate of 780 cases per 100,000 people, compared with just 300 per 100,000 in the rest of Spain -- which in itself is the highest in the European Union. The British government extends lockdowns to Liverpool and several other towns in northern England, effectively putting more than a quarter of the country of 66.8 million under tighter coronavirus restrictions The new rules in the city of 1.5 million people will ban mixing between different households except outdoors. Residents are advised to avoid care homes and only travel for "essential" reasons, which include school or work. Canada extends a ban on non-essential non-US international entries until the end of October, amid a second wave of infections. The US has a separate relationship with Canada under which non-essential travellers are not allowed into Canada but essential workers can get across the border. That arrangement expires on October 21. By 1100 GMT Thursday the coronavirus pandemic had killed at least 1,018,634 people around the world since emerging in China in late 2019, according to an AFP tally based on official sources. More than 34 million cases have been officially diagnosed. The United States has suffered the most deaths, with 206,959, followed by Brazil with 143,952, India with 98,678, Mexico with 77,646 and Britain with 42,143. The first regional and international flights land in South Africa, as its borders reopen after a more than six-month shutdown to limit the spread of coronavirus. German carrier Lufthansa is the first European airline to resume operations into the country, while planes also fly in from Kenya, Zambia and neighbouring Zimbabwe. American Airlines and United Airlines say they are going to begin furloughing or laying off 19,000 and 13,432 workers respectively, from Thursday, the deadline they had set for a deal on fresh aid to the pandemic-hit air travel sector. US carriers that received billions in aid from Congress had promised to refrain from laying off workers until the end of September, setting the stage for potentially thousands of job cuts in October. burs-jmy-fm/lc
