		</div><p>China and South Korea, which had early outbreaks of coronavirus, have together reported only four new infections and are slowly resuming public events after months of containment efforts.</p>
<p>South Korea’s three new cases represented the lowest daily jump in nearly three months.</p>
<p>More than 10,000 people have been infected in the nation’s outbreak, and over 250 have died.</p>
<p>As cases slow, South Korea will start reopening schools in phases next week, and its professional baseball league began its new season on Tuesday.</p>
<p>Pictures were placed in the stands depicting absent fans, and the stadium was quiet enough to hear cheers and shouts from the dugout.</p>
<p>In China, it has been three weeks since any new deaths have been reported in the country where the pandemic began in December.</p>
<p>Just one new case of infection was confirmed, and fewer than 400 patients are still being treated for Covid-19, health officials said.</p>
<p>Strict travel restrictions, testing, quarantining and case tracing policies appear to have stemmed the virus as warm weather arrives in much of the country.</p>
<p>Other places in the Asia-Pacific region have also had success in suppressing outbreaks, including Hong Kong, Taiwan, Vietnam, Thailand, Australia and New Zealand, which has had zero new cases for two days.</p>
<p>But some countries such as India have escalating outbreaks, and experts say the country with its 1.3 billion population has yet to see its peak.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, the US was taking halting steps to lift some restrictions even as thousands of new cases continue to be reported each day.</p>
<p>California governor Gavin Newsom, one of the first governors to impose a statewide stay-home order, announced that some businesses can reopen as early as Friday, with restrictions.</p>
<p>The moves to open US states come even as daily new infections continue to exceed 20,000 and daily deaths 1,000, according to figures from Johns Hopkins University.</p>
<p>Governments around the world have reported 3.5 million infections and more than 251,000 deaths, including more than 68,000 deaths in the United States.</p>
<p>Deliberately concealed outbreaks, low testing rates and the severe strain the disease has placed on healthcare systems mean the true scale of the pandemic is undoubtedly much greater.</p>
<p>With pressure growing in many countries for more measures to restart the economy, politicians were trying to boost funding for research into a vaccine for Covid-19.</p>
<p>There are hopes one could be available in months, but many scientists warn it could take much longer. Developing a vaccine will be the key to returning to less restricted everyday life.</p>
<p>An alliance of world leaders on Monday pledged to give 7.4 billion euros (£6.4 billion) for the effort, but the US and Russia were notably absent.</p>
<p>The money raised will be channelled mostly through recognised global health organisations.</p>
<p>French President Emmanuel Macron said he was convinced the US would at some point join the initiative.</p>
<p>Carnival Cruise Line, which saw outbreaks on several ships, plans to start cruises again in August, leaving from Florida and Texas.</p>
<p>The Caribbean trips will be the company’s first since the pandemic forced a near-total pause in the cruise industry.</p>
