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.
  • 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.
