The number of patients in intensive care has reached a new high in the Czech Republic, as several Central European countries struggle with a new wave of the virus.

Czech authorities have started to send patients to Poland for treatment, as its facilities struggled to cope.

In Hungary the number of cases in the current wave has surpassed the previous peak in December and it has one of the highest recent fatality rates in the world.

Cases are also on the rise in Poland, where the government recorded the highest number of daily cases since late November on Wednesday, with 17,260 new infections.

The EU has been widely criticised for the slow pace of immunisations, and initial delays were partially blamed on Anglo-Swedish pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca failing to supply doses to member states.

Brazil's hospitals are "close to collapse", with more than 80% of intensive care unit beds occupied in most state capitals, according to its leading health institute.

China has not reported any symptomatic Covid-19 cases for more than two weeks, and has discharged all of its remaining asymptomatic patients. The only "silent carriers" now in quarantine are people who have arrived from overseas.
