Daily roundupSunday's key coronavirus developments from Luxembourg and abroad
The most important developments both at home and abroad.
Starting with Luxembourg
- It’s been quiet - nothing to report today, but you may nonetheless be interested in a report on health passes around the world, which includes Luxembourg.
And abroad
- Saudi Arabia will begin accepting vaccinated foreigners wanting to make the umrah pilgrimage, authorities said Sunday, a move that will boost an economy hit by the Covid pandemic.
- Israel set up 120 rapid coronavirus testing stations across the country on Sunday. The testing centres are aimed at the non-vaccinated and those who have recovered from the virus and need a health pass. Over the past week, Israel has been recording an average of more than 3,000 new coronavirus cases a day -- the highest since April.
- Saudi Arabia has begun compensating the families of health workers who died because of the coronavirus, state media reported on Sunday, after announcing last year that each will receive $133,000.
