Hello, and welcome to our continuing global coverage of the coronavirus pandemic, which has now infected more than 4.09m people, killing 282,000. You can catch up on the latest developments here. In the United Kingdom Boris Johnson has announced plans to ease restrictions, but they’ve been labeled divisive, confusing and vague after he said some places could reopen and the government was “actively encouraging” people to return to work, without giving details of how. The UK is about to start requiring all international arrivals to quarantine for 14 days “soon”. Arrivals from France are exempt. The measure, which is to ensure that any potential carriers of the virus do not spread it further before being tested, has been in place in numerous other countries for months. Britain has the second highest number of recorded fatalities in the world, at almost 32,000. Italy, which has the third highest number of fatalities (30,560), recorded 165 new deaths on Sunday. The number of new infections rose by 802, which was the lowest daily rise since 6 March. The country, which started easing lockdown restrictions last Monday, has recorded a total of 219,070 cases. France and Spain are also preparing to lift their restrictions. In France hair salons, clothes shops, florists and bookshops will open again on Monday, while bars, restaurants, theatres and cinemas remain closed. Primary schools will take small numbers of pupils, depending on space. Masks will be obligatory on public transport. Everyone will be able to move outside without having to present a form on demand but people will only be able to go 100km from their place of residence. Half of Spain’s 47m people will be able to meet with family or friends in gatherings of up to 10, within provinces, as of Monday. Outdoor spaces at bars and restaurants can reopen with limited capacity. Hardest-hit Madrid and Barcelona are excluded from the easing, though football clubs FC Barcelona resumed training on Friday and Real Madrid will follow Monday. US vice-president Mike Pence is reportedly self-isolating after an aid tested positive for Covid-19. It’s one of several cases of the illness among White House staff who are in close proximity to the president. What Pence’s self-isolation actually entails isn’t clear, as both Reuters and the New York Times are reporting - per unnamed sources - that there is no plan to keep him separated from Donald Trump. The two are being tested daily. Trump’s personal valet has been diagnosed with Covid-19, as has Pence’s press secretary, Katie Miller, the wife of Trump’s senior adviser, Stephen Miller. Three members of the White House coronavirus taskforce are self-isolating: Top infectious disease expert, Dr Anthony Fauci; director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Dr. Robert Redfield, and the commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration, Stephen Hahn. The US has recorded more than 79,000 Covid-19 fatalities. More than 90% of the 2,000 hospital beds reserved for Covid-19 patients in Tokyo have already been occupied, the Japanese health ministry has announced. In China the city of Wuhan, where it all began, has reported its first case in weeks, but in the northeast of the country there is a possible new wave of cases, with one city in Jilin province being reclassified as high-risk. In Colombia Avianca Holdings, Latin America’s No. 2 airline and one of the oldest in the world, has filed for bankruptcy, after failing to secure aid from Colombia’s government and with a bond payment deadline looming.
