RTL Today
It's been a slow news day, but here's a short summary of Sunday's most important stories.

In Luxembourg

  • The latest figures from Luxembourg show that four new cases of coronavirus and no deaths have been recorded since yesterday. This brings the total number of cases to 4,039, while the number of deaths remains at 110. A record number of testing was done in the past 24 hours.
  • More and more countries are allowing restaurants and cafés to reopen under new regulations. But how could it look in practice? Here are some ideas currently in place - would they work in Luxembourg?
