Daily roundupSunday's key coronavirus developments from Luxembourg and abroad

Starting with Luxembourg

• No local Covid stories today. This is in part because the government does not communicate covid data on weekends - we will publish a summary of the weekend’s covid figures on Monday afternoon.

And abroad

• Exhausted after working long hours during the coronavirus pandemic and resentful that their bosses are not sharing sometimes huge profits, tens of thousands of nurses, laborers and entertainment workers are going on strike across the UnitedStates.

• US real estate mogul RobertDurst, sentenced to life in prison for killing his best friend, has been placed on a ventilator after becoming infected with Covid-19, according to a US media report published Saturday.

• The health pass will once again come under debate in France on Tuesday, as MPs consider a bill which plans to extend the pass until 31 July.

• Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro will find himself back on the ropes on Tuesday, with the publication of a report by a Senate Committee of Inquiry (ICC) on his policy deemed irresponsible in the face of the crisis of the coronavirus.

• The German Society for Child and Adolescent Medicine advises children and adolescents from the age of twelve to have a Covid vaccination. They recommend the vaccination should be “general and unrestricted” after data from over ten million children and adolescents had been collected, said the chairman of the society, Jörg Dötsch, on Saturday.
• SAS, Norwegian, Widerøe and Flyr airlines have agreed to drop the mask mandate for passengers travelling between Denmark, Norway and Sweden. Flights to countries outside of Scandinavia will still require masks to be worn, however.

• Russia on Sunday reported a new record for coronavirus infections for a fourth day in a row, a day after the worst-affected country in Europe set a new death toll high.

• The United Kingdom reported 43,423 new cases of COVID-19 on Saturday as the country recorded more than 40,000 confirmed cases on the fourth consecutive day, according to official data.
