Covid-19 global updates: Europe faces ‘chaos’ at airports without coordinated vaccine certificate rollout, travel groups warn

Here are some significant developments:

• President Biden will not attend the 2020 Tokyo Games, which begin in 24 days, though first lady Jill Biden may lead the U.S. delegation, the White House said. Infections are rising again in the Japanese capital, which is in a “quasi state of emergency.”
• The Red Cross in Indonesia is warning that the country’s covid outbreak is on the edge of a “catastrophe” as daily case numbers surge to 20,000, fueled by new variants and a relaxation of restrictions.
• The Australian cities of Perth and Brisbane went into lockdown in a bid to quash small delta variant outbreaks. Australia also made it easier people under 40 to ask to be vaccinated with Oxford-AstraZeneca shots, which had previously been offered to those over 60.
• Los Angeles County health officials are recommending that all residents wear masks in public indoor spaces, regardless of their vaccination status, to protect against the more contagious delta variant now circulating in the state. California has one of the highest vaccination rates in the country.
• Spanish authorities placed nearly 5,000 people in quarantine after a major outbreak on the resort island of Mallorca involving hundreds of students celebrating the end of the school year.
• India has administered more than 323.6 million doses of coronavirus vaccines as of late Monday night, overtaking the United States. But New Delhi has fully inoculated fewer than 5 percent of its population and there are concerns as to whether the pace can be sustained.
• Turkey banned flights from much of South Asia, as well as Brazil and South Africa, due to concerns about the delta variant. It also required people arriving from Britain, Singapore, Egypt and Iran to be tested before arrival.
