Wednesday's key coronavirus developments from Luxembourg and abroad

Starting with Luxembourg

• Luxembourg's death toll reached 1,000 as 1,080 new cases of coronavirus were discovered over the last 24 hours.

• The Chamber of Deputies introduced the new Covid bill on Tuesday.

And abroad

• The pandemic is far from over, the WHO's leader insisted Wednesday, two years after he first used the term to wake the world up to the emerging threat of Covid-19.

• Hong Kong's leader said Wednesday that mandatory coronavirus testing was no longer a priority after plans for mass screening of all 7.4 million residents and an accompanying citywide lockdown triggered panic.

• Austria said Wednesday it is suspending mandatory Covid-19 vaccinations for all adults saying the pandemic no longer poses the same danger, just weeks after the law took effect in an EU first.
