Starting with Luxembourg

  • The latest figures from Luxembourg show that 224 new cases of coronavirus were discovered over the last 72 hours.

  • The pandemic still affects the way we travel, which, unsurprisingly, is also the case at Findel airport.

And abroad

  • The British government on Monday lifted pandemic restrictions on daily life in England, scrapping all social distancing in a step slammed by scientists and opposition parties as a dangerous leap into the unknown.

  • About a third of Vietnam’s 100 million people must now stay home as multiple southern provinces went under Covid-19 lockdown on Monday.

  • Australia has cancelled far-right British commentator Katie Hopkins‘s visa after she boasted about flouting the country’s strict hotel quarantine rules, a senior official said Monday.

  • Tokyo Games organisers insisted Monday that the Olympic Village is “a safe place to stay”, as fears of a coronavirus cluster emerged just days before the opening ceremony.

  • Australia’s two largest cities are set to stay under tight Covid-19 restrictions as Melbourne on Monday extended a five-day snap lockdown designed to curb a virulent outbreak.

  • With hospitals in junta-run Myanmar empty of pro-democracy medical staff and coronavirus cases surging nationwide, volunteers are going house-to-house to collect the fast-rising number of victims dying in their homes.

  • Hajj pilgrims streamed out of the holy city of Mecca towards Mina on Sunday, the second day of a massively scaled-down version of Islam’s greatest pilgrimage, held in the shadow of coronavirus for the second year running.
