Brazil's Covid-19 death toll passed 200,000 on Thursday, the health ministry said, as daily new cases accelerated to a record of 87,843 after year-end holidays in the country with the world's second-deadliest outbreak.
New data shows China's economy cooled sharply in April, as many cities including Shanghai suffered Covid-19 lockdowns. Industrial output dropped nearly 3 percent compared to a year before, while retail sales slumped 11 percent. Meanwhile, global wheat prices jump after India announces a ban on exporting the grain due to damage from a heatwave. Finally, we see how tourists are returning to Barcelona. The development is good news for local businesses but could revive tensions over mass tourism.
Workers in PPE carry out Covid tests, take out the rubbish and make deliveries as Shanghai residents remain under lockdown and the country records over 20,000 Covid-19 cases the highest daily tally given since the start of the pandemic. Infections have been driven up by the rapid spread of the Omicron variant through the country. (COMPLETES 327R6R2)
