Evening roundupSunday's key coronavirus developments in Luxembourg and abroad

In Luxembourg

• Luxembourg recorded only two new infections in the last 24 hours. The death toll also remains unchanged at 110. 1096 were carried out since Saturday, bringing the total number of tests conducted since the beginning of the pandemic to 75,432. 3 patients are currently in intensive care (down 4 on Saturday) while another 33 remain in hospital (32 on Friday).

• The sunny weather and easing of virus restrictions led to multitudes of revelers celebrating the gradual return to normality at the Three Acorns Park (near Mudam) in Kirchberg over the weekend. Social media users reacted with outrage to an abundance of rubbish simply left behind.
