Evening roundupMonday's key coronavirus developments from Luxembourg and abroad

Starting with Luxembourg

• The latest figures from the Ministry of Health show that 11 new cases of coronavirus were discovered yesterday, of which 7 were residents. The death toll has increased by one to 121.

• The government assured that rigorous checks were made prior to approving any type of mask for sale. Does that guarantee no inferior products are circulating Luxembourg’s markets? Our colleagues took a look.

• Parking capacity is to be expanded for beachgoers at the reservoir.

And around the world

• The busiest areas of the French capital, including the banks of the Seine, heights of Montmartre, and rue Mouffetard, will no longer be walkable without a mask. They are now compulsory in the main shopping streets and certain towns of Ile-de-France.

• Around 850 French passengers who were onboard a coronavirus-riddled cruise ship that was turned away from numerous ports in March have filed a collective suit in Paris with 180 complaints, including manslaughter, against Costa Cruises, their lawyer said Sunday.

• The United States on Sunday reached the extraordinary milestone of five million coronavirus cases as President Donald Trump was accused of flouting the constitution by unilaterally extending a virus relief package.

• More than 10,000 people invaded private property of Cévennes national park on Saturday evening to organise a rave party, angering local farmers.

• Uber outlined proposals Monday for a new type of relationship with “gig” workers, including its own drivers, that would keep them as independent contractors but with some guaranteed benefits.

• Faced with a second wave of coronavirus cases, Cuba announced on Monday a record daily number of new infections. The 93 new cases beat the previous record from May 1 of 74, leading authorities to reimplement lockdown measures that had been gradually relaxed.
