Africa-Press<\/a> – South-Africa<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Cape Town \u2013 The cumulative number of Covid-19 cases identified in South Africa rose to 1 576 320 on Monday, with 849 new cases reported.<\/p>\n

A total of 38 more Covid-19-related deaths have been reported: Western Cape 17, Eastern Cape 5, Free State 5, Limpopo 5, Gauteng 3, Northern Cape 2 and KwaZulu-Natal 1, Health Minister Zweli Mkhize said in a statement. No deaths were reported in Mpumalanga and North West.<\/p>\n

This brings the death toll to 54 186. The cumulative recoveries now stand at 1 501 880, representing a recovery rate of 95%.<\/p>\n

The number of tests conducted to date is 10 545 817. Of these, 14 838 tests were conducted since the last report.<\/p>\n

The European Commission said on Monday it had launched legal action against AstraZeneca for not respecting its contract for the supply of Covid-19 vaccines and for not having a “reliable” plan to ensure timely deliveries.<\/p>\n

AstraZeneca said in response that the legal action by the EU was without merit and pledged to defend itself strongly in court.<\/p>\n

Under the contract, the Anglo-Swedish company had committed to making its “best reasonable efforts” to deliver 180 million vaccine doses to the EU in the second quarter of this year, for a total of 300 million in the period from December to June.<\/p>\n

Latin Americans, hard hit by the coronavirus pandemic, are struggling to get vaccinated, a threat to the region’s fragile economic recovery as lockdowns tighten amid a dangerous surge of infections and rising death tolls.<\/p>\n

The region of some 660 million people has recorded almost 30% of the world’s 3.2 million Covid-19 deaths to date, despite being home to just 8% of the world’s population. While countries in Africa and Asia also lag behind Europe and North America on inoculations, health experts say Latin America’s need for vaccines is the most urgent.<\/p>\n

The scarcity comes down to a few factors: high-income countries snapped up most of the available doses, and Latin American officials have cited difficulties sealing deals for their own people. A plan to manufacture the AstraZeneca vaccine locally has been hit by delays, and suppliers like Russia have faced their own hold-ups.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the global Covax programme to supply vaccines to poorer countries has been bogged down by production glitches, a lack of support from wealthy nations, and a recent move by India, the biggest vaccine manufacturer, to curb exports.<\/p>\n

The European Union plans to open its doors to Americans who have been vaccinated by this summer, according to European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen<\/p>\n

Israel’s Health Ministry said it is examining a small number of cases of heart inflammation in people who had received Pfizer’s Covid-19 vaccine, though it has not yet drawn any conclusions.<\/p>\n

Pfizer said it has not observed a higher rate of the condition than would normally be expected in the general population.<\/p>\n

Israel’s pandemic response coordinator, Nachman Ash, said that a preliminary study showed “tens of incidents” of myocarditis occurring among more than 5 million vaccinated people, primarily after the second dose.<\/p>\n

Ash said it was unclear whether this was unusually high and whether it was connected to the vaccine. Most of the cases were reported among people up to age 30.<\/p>\n
