The breakthrough came as a record 15,769 Covid-19 deaths around the world were registered in 24 hours.

The EU cleared a second coronavirus vaccine for use on Wednesday bringing relief to European countries struggling with spiralling infections, as the world clocked up a record number of deaths in a single day.

The 10-strong team had been due to arrive this week on a hugely sensitive mission to seek answers on how the virus first emerged in the central city of Wuhan in late 2019, after jumping from animals to humans. China and other countries in east and southeast Asia managed to deal with outbreaks relatively quickly, countries in Europe and the Americas suffering the most severe epidemics.While experts see mass vaccinations as the best route back to normality, the first rollouts have coincided with alarming spikes in deaths and caseloads.

The EU as a whole has shifted more than one million doses, but this is fewer than Britain has managed.
