Zimbabwe COVID19 Update


COVID-19 update: As at 25 March 2021, Zimbabwe had 36 778 confirmed cases, including 34 555 recoveries and 1 518 deaths. To date, a total of 54 892 people have been vaccinated against COVID-19. 





 


France extends Covid-19 lockdown to three more areas


France has put three more of its départements in the centre of the country into Covid-19 lockdowns from Friday midnight for the next month, as the third wave of the pandemic continues to rise and place hospitals in Paris and other areas under intense pressure.

Olivier Véran, health minister, announced the enhanced restrictions for the Nièvre, Rhône and Aube départements at a news conference on Thursday. A further 16 are already under lockdown, and the whole country is subject to a 7pm-6am curfew and the closure of restaurants, cafés and other meeting places. Véran said more than 45,000 people had tested positive for the virus in the previous day.

But the government has resisted calls to order a general closure of schools despite outbreaks in some establishments. “Closing schools is a last resort,” Véran said.

The government also announced that 4,709 people were being treated in intensive care units for Covid-19, the highest number so far this year and close to the peak of the second wave in November. On the plus side, the vaccination campaign accelerated, with more than 363,000 people receiving doses in the previous 24 hours.

Meanwhile Roselyne Bachelot, the 74-year culture minister who is the latest politician to be hospitalised for coronavirus treatment, said she was now being treated with “enhanced oxygen therapy”.


Biden doubles vaccine goal to 200m jabs in first 100 days


US president Joe Biden declared “hope is on the way” as he doubled his goal for coronavirus vaccinations to 200m within his first 100 days in office and trumpeted his $1.9tn fiscal stimulus deal for already delivering a stronger recovery.

Biden’s optimism in the fight against the coronavirus and the economic downturn came on Thursday during his first press conference since entering the White House in January.

The president noted that economic forecasters were already upgrading their projections for gross domestic product growth to more than 6 per cent. He said that was evidence that the relief package was working and the battle against Covid-19 was making progress.

“We’re starting to see new signs of hope in our economy,” Biden said at the start of the White House press conference. “Help is here and hope is on the way.”

Despite Biden’s desire to project confidence on the health and economic crises that have dominated his first months in office, the US president has found himself on the defensive because of a rise in migrants arriving at the southern border with Mexico in recent weeks.

Biden was repeatedly pressed on his administration’s handling of the surge in new arrivals, including unaccompanied minors. He responded that his predecessor Donald Trump had damaged the US government’s capacity to handle migrants and that much of the pressure at the border was seasonal.

“There’s no easy answer,” he acknowledged.


Florida to make all adults eligible for vaccine on April 5


Florida will expand vaccine eligibility to every adult in less than two weeks, joining a growing list of states that have laid out plans to lift all age or occupational restrictions to getting the shot.

Governor Ron DeSantis announced on Thursday that the state will first lower the age threshold to 40 on March 29, after dropping the minimum age to 60 and then 50 in consecutive weeks. All Floridians who are 18 years old and up will become eligible on April 5.

“We’re ready to take this step,” DeSantis said in a video message.

More than 3.2m of Florida’s 4.4m seniors have received at least one dose so far, according to state data. In total, 5.2m residents have been vaccinated, and nearly 2.9m have been fully inoculated.

DeSantis said earlier this week that Florida, the third-most populous state, was on track to expand vaccine eligibility to every adult “way before” May 1, a target set by the Biden administration.

Most states have said they will either meet or beat the May 1 timeframe for offering universal vaccinations. Texas will become the largest US state to do so next week. Georgia, Tennessee and Arizona this week announced plans to begin giving the vaccine to any adult looking to get it.


Travellers flying to Germany face compulsory Covid tests


Air travellers entering Germany will be obliged to take a coronavirus test before they fly, according to new guidance issued by the country’s health ministry.

The new rule will apply from Sunday morning and last until May 12, the ministry said.

Passengers will have to take the test no earlier than 48 hours before they enter Germany, and will have to cover the cost of it themselves.

A spokesman for the ministry said no one can be forced to take the test, but passengers will only be allowed onto the plane if they can show the airline a negative test result.

The new rule comes at a time of increasing concern in Berlin over the number of Germans now holidaying on the Iberian island of Mallorca. The exodus to Mallorca began as soon as the island was taken off the official list of high-risk areas in mid-March.

Travellers arriving by other means of transport will also be required today show a negative test - but only if they are coming from from officially-designated high-risk areas.


Netherlands reports highest number of new cases since January


The Netherlands has recorded the highest number of daily coronavirus infections since January as a third wave of the pandemic sweeps across much of continental Europe. 

Government figures on Thursday showed 7,740 new confirmed cases were reported in the 24 hour period, 137 more than the previous day. Another 237 people were admitted to hospital, although this was 44 fewer than the previous day.

The National Institute for Public Health and the Environment said earlier this week that about 46,000 people had received a positive test result between March 17 and March 23, a 16 per cent increase from the week before.

Pressure on healthcare capacity was “severe” in all but one region of the country, the government said.

The Netherlands is to remain in lockdown until at least April 20, with all non-essential shops closed and residents encouraged to remain in their homes between 9pm and 4.30am.

So far, about 2.2m vaccine doses have been administered.


UK companies borrow over £75bn in government Covid loan schemes


UK companies have borrowed more than £75bn using government-backed Covid loan schemes, according to data released in the final week of the pandemic programme.

About 1.6m companies, or more than a quarter of all small to medium-sized businesses in the UK, have now used pandemic loan support schemes.

More than £2bn was borrowed in the past month alone across the four loan schemes, which were launched by the Treasury a year ago during the first lockdown to support companies fast running out of cash.

This rise in the latest numbers — which will be close to final given that the scheme ends this month — shows the extent of the continuing distress among smaller businesses.

The data will also raise fresh concerns about the financial state of many small companies as they emerge from the pandemic with vast debts and only slowly recovering businesses.

Earlier this month, the Office for Budget Responsibility estimated that bankruptcy and fraud losses from the government’s lending schemes would be about £27.2bn.


Oxford to trial Covid nasal spray vaccine


Donato Paolo Mancini in Rome and Henry Foy in Moscow

Oxford university has begun advertising for participants in an early-stage trial to deliver the Covid-19 vaccine it jointly developed with AstraZeneca as a nasal spray, according to documents seen by the Financial Times.

The phase 1 trial will involve about 30 healthy adults aged up to 40 and will study the safety of the formulation, according to a recruitment sheet circulated to prospective patients. It could begin as early as next week.

A nasal spray vaccine would be easier to administer and could cut transmission rates significantly because the Sars-Cov-2 virus that causes Covid-19 is predominantly passed on from the upper airways.

Trials of a nasal spray vaccine had also been started by Russia’s Gamaleya centre, which developed the country’s Sputnik V vaccine, its head said this week.


Sweden to restart use of AstraZeneca jab for over-65s


Sweden will restart use of the Oxford/AstraZeneca coronavirus vaccine but only for those aged 65 and over.

Sweden’s public health agency said the benefit of the AstraZeneca vaccine for over 65s was high, given how many were still being infected and as there was little evidence of serious side effects in older people. But it added that the jab would remain on pause for younger people as Nordic health authorities investigate the potential for side effects such as blood clots.

Neighbouring Finland took a similar decision to Sweden earlier this week while Norway, where at least three deaths from blood clots have occurred after vaccination with the AstraZeneca jab, is set to make an announcement on Friday.


Denmark holds off resuming use of AstraZeneca vaccine for another 3 weeks


Denmark has extended its suspension of the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine by three weeks, despite the jab getting the green light from the European Medicines Authority last week.

The country suspended use of the vaccine this month amid concerns about the potential for blood clots.

“We believe that our basis for making a final decision on any future use of the Covid-19 vaccine from AstraZeneca is too uncertain,” said Soren Brostrom, director-general of the Danish Health Authority, in a statement on Thursday.

“Many studies have been initiated, but we do not yet have any conclusions,” he said. “Therefore, the hold on using the vaccine remains in effect.”

Denmark will cancel any bookings for the first or second dose of the vaccine.

However Mr Brostrom said the vaccines were in the refrigerator. “If we decide to recommence vaccination with the Covid-19 vaccine from AstraZeneca, we can quickly distribute and use the vaccines,” he said.

Use of the AstraZeneca jab has restarted in a number of EU countries that had suspended it, including France, Germany and Italy.


New US jobless claims fall to lowest level since pandemic began


New claims for unemployment benefits in the US fell to 684,000 last week, the lowest number since the start of the coronavirus crisis, as the labour market continued to add jobs.

The number of jobless claims filed for regular state programmes decreased by 97,000 in the week ending March 20, the US labour department said on Thursday. That was better than economists’ expectations of a drop to 730,000 new claims.

The report also showed a decline of 42,509 in claims for federal pandemic unemployment assistance — which provides benefits for gig workers and the self-employed — to 241,745.

Declining infections and hospitalisation rates, along with an expanding rollout of coronavirus vaccines — President Joe Biden has pledged enough doses for all adults by May — have prompted some US states to further loosen their lockdown restrictions, while others have removed all limits on businesses.

More than 130m vaccine doses have been administered so far in the US. Congress has also passed Biden’s $1.9tn stimulus plan to help the economic recovery. As a result, the Federal Reserve has sharply upgraded its US growth forecast for the year to 6.5 per cent — the quickest expansion since 1984 and sharply higher than the 4.2 per cent growth that had been previously pencilled in. 

The Fed, which signalled it would leave rates close to zero until at least 2024, also projected the unemployment rate would fall to 4.5 per cent by the end of 2021, compared with the December outlook of 5 per cent. 

Despite optimism about the US recovery, the labour market still has a long road ahead. Almost 19m Americans continue to seek jobless benefits more than a year after Covid-19 began spreading widely, and the world’s largest economy is 9.5m jobs short of its pre-pandemic level.


Brazil’s business elite rebukes Bolsonaro as Covid deaths mount


Brazil’s business community has hit out at President Jair Bolsonaro’s handling of the Covid-19 pandemic, increasing pressure on the populist leader as the country’s death toll mounts.

Bolsonaro’s downplaying of the crisis and refusal to implement a nationwide lockdown, long criticised by opponents on the left, is increasingly irking the country’s financial sector, which backed the former army captain when he ran for president in 2018.

Hundreds of prominent business leaders, including a former central bank chief, some of Brazil’s richest bankers and economists, signed an open letter to the Brazilian government, demanding it take stronger action to speed up vaccinations and encourage the use of facemasks.

Without naming Bolsonaro, they attacked “the country’s highest political leadership” for ignoring science, encouraging crowds, backing unproven treatments and “flirting with the anti-vaccine movement”.

Brazil is in the midst of a brutal second wave of Covid-19, with hospitals across the country operating at full occupancy and some facing critical shortages of oxygen.


Poland faces its ‘most difficult moment’ as infections soar


Poland faces its “most difficult moment” of the coronavirus pandemic as daily infections rise 14 per cent to set another record, prompting the government to tighten restrictions in its efforts to limit a third wave.

“We are a step away from crossing the boundary beyond which we won’t be able to treat patients properly,” prime minister Mateusz Morawiecki said on Thursday. “We will do everything to avoid such a scenario.”

The health ministry posted 34,151 cases over the past 24 hours, surpassing the record set a day earlier, while 520 more people died of coronavirus. The daily figures bring Poland’s total to 2.15m coronavirus cases and 50,860 deaths.

Morawiecki said that the surge in cases, which has been driven by the arrival of the more infectious B.1.1.7 variant of the virus first detected in the UK, meant that the health system was approaching the limits of its capacity.

He unveiled further restrictions in an effort to slow the spread of the disease, warning of more curbs if the situation failed to improve.

Kindergartens, hairdressers, and big construction and furniture stores will close. Churches will remain open with limited congregation numbers allowed to attend.


India blocks vaccine exports in blow to dozens of nations


India, one of the world’s biggest vaccine producers, has imposed a de facto ban on jab exports as it seeks to prioritise local vaccinations amid an accelerating second wave of coronavirus infections.

The Serum Institute of India, the largest manufacturer of vaccines in the world and the biggest supplier to the international Covax programme, said its shipments would be affected and that the measures could last as long as “two to three months”.

Gavi, the UN-backed international vaccine alliance, immediately warned that the controls would have a direct impact on the Covax scheme, set up with the World Health Organisation to ensure the equitable global distribution of at least 2bn Covid-19 vaccine doses in 2021.


Johnson prompts outrage from publicans over jab proof suggestion


Publicans and Conservative MPs have reacted with outrage to the prime minister’s suggestion that customers could need vaccination certificates before enjoying a pint at the pub.

The debate over whether certification of a vaccine or recent negative test should be required to visit hospitality venues, which the government views as particularly high risk during the pandemic, has rumbled on since the UK began vaccinating citizens in December.

The outcry comes ahead of a vote on Thursday on an extension to the government’s emergency Covid legislation that could see it last until September 25 if approved. Backbench Tory MPs are threatening to vote against the bill, citing the curbs to people’s freedoms as “draconian”.

Boris Johnson responded on Wednesday to a question from a committee of MPs about whether proof of vaccination could be required to go to the pub by saying: “That’s the kind of thing. It may be up to individual publicans. It may be up to the landlord.

“The concept of vaccine certification should not be totally alien to us,” he added.

His comments come as cabinet minister Michael Gove is undertaking a review of what testing and vaccine requirements could be implemented to allow hospitality businesses and mass events to reopen safely.


Low-income countries face vaccine delays as Indian supply squeezed


Poor countries will be hit by delays in coronavirus jab supplies due to problems securing export licences in India, the Gavi UN-backed vaccine alliance said, stoking fears of global supply squeezes.

Gavi said the troubles would affect countries in the global Covax scheme supplied by the Serum Institute of India, the world’s largest vaccine manufacturer.

“Deliveries of Covid-19 vaccines to lower income economies participating in the Covax facility will face delays following a setback in securing export licences for further doses” that are produced by the Serum Institute of India and expected to be shipped in March and April, Gavi said in a statement on Thursday.

The Serum Institute, which makes the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine under licence, has said its exports will be affected while New Delhi assesses the demand for the next stage of its domestic rollout as it battles an accelerating wave of new infections.

EU leaders are preparing for talks on Thursday on proposed tighter export curbs as the European bloc attempts to make up large AstraZeneca early delivery shortfalls.


Johnson backtracks over jabs-for-a-pint certificates in pubs


Pub owners may soon be able to bar customers who have not received a coronavirus vaccine, UK prime minister Boris Johnson has suggested.

Johnson, who derided the idea last month, told the House of Commons liaison committee that it “may be up to individual publicans” to decide whether to admit people who have not received a jab. 

The prime minister's comments drew criticism from members of his own party. Conservative MP Steve Baker tweeted that vaccine passports would create a “two-tier society”.

Johnson's suggestion on Wednesday marks a reversal of the stance he laid out in February. “What I don’t think we will have in this country is, as it were, vaccination passports to allow you to go to the pub,” the prime minister said at the time. 

According to the government's four-step “roadmap” for lifting coronavirus restrictions, pub gardens will open from April 12. Pubs will be able to reopen indoor rooms from May 17.


Hong Kong regulator asks banks to support vaccine roll-out


Hong Kong’s financial regulator has written to banks to encourage them to support the government’s vaccine roll-out, a week after an outbreak of coronavirus cases swept through the city’s expatriate finance community.

The Hong Kong Monetary Authority said it was “in the interest of authorised institutions to support the government’s vaccination drive” because banks play a critical public service role. It encouraged financial institutions to make it easier for their staff to be vaccinated, such as by allowing workers to be vaccinated during office hours and granting time off “where necessary, to rest after vaccination”.

Banks including HSBC, Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley were forced to close offices or reverse policies aimed at bringing more staff back to the office last week amid a cluster of cases at a popular expat gym that resulted in nearly 900 people, including children, being sent to state-run quarantine centres.

Hong Kong’s vaccine roll-out has been slower than other major financial hubs, prompting concerns about the potential impact on international business in the territory and delays to easing travel restrictions.

This week, Hong Kong suspended administering the BioNTech vaccine citing packaging defects.


Traders buy in to US economic reopening but sell stocks in Europe


European and US stock markets looked set to diverge on Thursday as traders bought in to the reopening of the world’s largest economy and avoided exposure to a third wave of coronavirus in the eurozone.

The Stoxx 600 European equity index dropped 0.6 per cent in early trades, as did Germany’s Xetra Dax. France’s CAC 40 fell by 0.7 per cent.

In contrast, futures markets signalled the S&P 500 would rise 0.3 per cent when Wall Street opens later in the day, and the top 100 stocks on the technology-focused Nasdaq Composite would gain 0.5 per cent.

Optimism is building about an economic recovery in the US, which has administered more vaccine doses than any other country. A closely watched purchasing managers’ index for US manufacturing and services indicated on Wednesday that activity and new orders were booming.

Continental Europe, however, is mired in rows over vaccine supply and intensifying lockdowns. German chancellor Angela Merkel on Wednesday reversed course on a contentious Easter shutdown.


NHS Scotland staff to be offered 4 per cent pay rise


More than 150,000 NHS staff in Scotland will be offered a 4 per cent pay rise in recognition of their “service and dedication”, the Scottish government has said.

The 4 per cent rise would benefit 154,000 nurses, paramedics and other frontline healthcare workers. Those who earned less than £25,000 last year will receive at least a £1,000 increase if the offer is accepted by staff.

The uplift, announced late on Wednesday, would be backdated from December 1. Jeane Freeman, health secretary, said it had been an "exceptionally challenging year" for NHS staff.

Boris Johnson has faced a fierce backlash from healthworkers in England after the government recommended they receive a 1 per cent pay increase this year. 

The Royal College of Nursing described the offer as "pitiful" and has launched a campaign calling for a 12.5 per cent rise instead. 

The UK's children's minister Vicky Ford said on Thursday that the starting salary for nurses working in England had risen by 12 per cent in recent years. She told Sky News that the government was committed to raising pay for NHS staff despite it being "a very challenging time for the whole economy".


Travel and tourism sector suffers $4.5tn pandemic loss


The global travel and tourism sector suffered a $4.5tn loss in 2020 as the pandemic pushed governments to close borders, halting all but essential travel for long periods of the year.

According to the World Travel & Tourism Council’s annual economic impact report, the sector’s contribution to global GDP fell 49.1 per cent in 2020 compared with a drop of 3.7 per cent in overall worldwide GDP.

The WTTC said on Thursday that this represented a GDP contribution of $4.6tn from the sector in 2020 compared with almost $9tn in 2019.

The dismal picture for the industry comes as businesses face another year of tight travel restrictions because of the spread of new variants of Covid-19 and the patchy rollout of vaccines.

Southern Mediterranean countries are among those that have been lobbying for vaccination certificates and bilateral deals that would allow tourists to visit from crucial source markets such as the UK and Germany.

The WTTC is pressing for international travel to be resumed from June with the help of “digital health passes” that would record whether a person had been inoculated, tested negative or already had Covid.

It said if “the global vaccine rollout continues at pace and travel restrictions are relaxed just before the busy summer season, the 62m jobs lost [from the sector] this year, could return by 2022”.


A new target in the US vaccine rollout: reluctant Republicans


For the past five weeks, nurses at Cobre Valley medical centre in Globe, Arizona, have been vaccinating anyone aged 18 and over, after becoming one of the first places in the US to completely open up vaccine eligibility. 

And yet, with less than a third of the local population vaccinated, hospital staff have been alarmed to see appointments dropping significantly in recent weeks, from about 250 a day to 175. 

The picture contrasts heavily with that experience in more urban parts of the country, where supplies are still constrained and many people are desperate to secure doses. But it chimes both with what is being seen in other rural counties across Arizona, where take-up is lower than average, and with national polls that show rural Republicans are among the most vaccine-hesitant groups in America. 

“National surveys tell us rural [Donald] Trump voters are more concerned than most about getting vaccinated,” said one Arizona health official, who asked not to be named for fear of drawing the ire of Republican voters. “And that’s the trend we seem to be seeing across Arizona.”


India’s second wave gathers momentum with 53,000 new cases in 24 hours


India has recorded more than 50,000 coronavirus cases in the past 24 hours, the highest tally since October, as the country's second wave builds momentum.

Officials registered 53,000 new Covid-19 infections on Thursday. Maharashtra, the western state that is home to the financial centre of Mumbai, drove the tally with a record 31,000 new cases. Nearly 250 people died of the virus over the same period.

Cases have surged since a low in February, when India was recording around 10,000 new infections a day, and in some parts of the country have surpassed the first wave's September peak.

Scientists are concerned that new variants could be fuelling the spread — and even lead to reinfection.

Health officials on Wednesday said that they had uncovered a new "double mutant" strain of the virus along with several concerning variants of foreign origin circulating in the country. They added that the strains could not yet be linked to the recent increase in cases.


Labour seeks disclosure on Covid loans to Greensill for Liberty Steel


The UK’s opposition Labour party has called on the government to publish details of larger loans made through its Covid-19 emergency schemes to establish the full extent of borrowing taken out by collapsed finance group Greensill and channelled to the owner of Liberty Steel.

The Bank of England, which administers the Covid Corporate Financing Facility, through which the government supports investment grade-rated companies, had published the details of its loans by June last year. However, other lending — through the Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan Scheme (CBILS), the Coronavirus Large Business Interruption Loan Scheme (CLBILS) and “bounce back” loans — have not yet been disclosed by either the government or the commercial lenders which were provided with state guarantees. 

The loan schemes were set up under the auspices of the EU state aid regime, albeit under a post-Brexit “temporary framework”, so any loans above €100,000 will have to be published within a 12-month period.

Some 1.6m facilities, worth nearly £73bn, have been approved as part of the three schemes, according to the latest Treasury statistics. 


Cases continue to rise in Cambodia's 'February 20' outbreak


Cambodia's Ministry of Health on Thursday reported 55 new cases of Covid-19 linked to the February 20 community outbreak, bringing the total in that community transmission to 1,348.

The capital Phnom Penh recorded 50 of the new cases, with single cases discovered in the provinces of Kampong Thom, Kandal, Preah Sihanouk, Siem Reap and Tbong Khmum. One of the new cases is a Vietnamese national while the remainder are Cambodian.

Cambodia had recorded 1,872 Covid-19 cases since the start of the pandemic, with five confirmed deaths.


AstraZeneca revises down efficacy rate of US Covid-19 vaccine trial


AstraZeneca has revised the efficacy rate for its US Covid-19 vaccine trial down to 76 per cent as the pharmaceutical group sought to address concerns that it had published incomplete interim data earlier this week.

Mene Pangalos, AstraZeneca’s executive vice-president, said a reassessment showed the data were “consistent” with the previously reported numbers, which reported an efficacy rate of 79 per cent.

This “confirms that our Covid-19 vaccine is highly effective in adults, including those aged 65 years and over”, he added. The jab, developed with Oxford university, was also found to be 85 per cent effective in older adults, higher than the previously reported figure of 80 per cent. The vaccine prevented all severe disease and hospitalisation.

“We look forward to filing our regulatory submission for emergency use authorisation in the US and preparing for the rollout of millions of doses across America,” Pangalos said.
