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

  • Authorities in the central Chinese city of Wuhan on Sunday said they had completed citywide testing for Covid-19 after a resurgence of cases more than a year. 11 million people were tested. 37 locally transmitted cases were found, as well as 41 asymptomatic carriers.

  • Australia’s third-largest city of Brisbane will lift a lockdown Sunday after containing a virus cluster, while an outbreak that has kept Sydney paralysed for weeks continues to grow.
  • 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.
