A quick update on developments this morning. The global death toll has risen above 350,000, according to Johns Hopkins University, South Korea has seen its highest spike in cases in 49 days with a new cluster now emerging around an online delivery depot, and Japan and the EU are preparing giant new stimulus packages for coronavirus-hit economies.

Pakistan’s government is mulling a renewed lockdown after its move to lift many coronavirus restrictions over the past two weeks led to a surge in new cases.

04:45 GMT – Major economies prepare massive new stimulus packages

The European Union and Japan are preparing massive new stimulus packages to get their economies moving after weeks of coronavirus lockdown.

The 27-nation EU is also due to unveil its latest stimulus plan on Wednesday. The more than one trillion euro initiative involves grants, loans and guarantees. Some of the more fiscally conservative nations have expressed concern about the grants because they would need to be repaid through joint borrowing, which could lead to higher national contributions to the EU budget.

South Korea has seen its biggest surge in new coronavirus cases in 49 days with a new cluster emerging at a retail logistics centre west of Seoul.
