Global report: EU nations continue steady exits from lockdown

Infections continue to fall in EU nations but reports suggest Russian death toll much higher than official figures * Coronavirus – latest updates * See all our coronavirus coverage FRANCE is to lift its state of emergency on 10 July, DENMARK said opening its bars, restaurants and malls had not led to a rise in infections, and AUSTRIA will reopen its border with ITALY next week as EU nations pursue their steady exits from lockdown. However, GERMANY extended its coronavirus travel warnings for more than 160 countries outside Europe until the end of August and reports suggested that Moscow’s death toll may be twice as high as RUSSIA’s official figures. According to the Johns Hopkins university tracker, Covid-19 has infected nearly 7,300,000 people and killed more than 411,000. The EU accused CHINA and RUSSIA of running “targeted influence operations and disinformation campaigns in the EU, its neighbourhood, and globally” as the bloc set out a plan to tackle a “huge wave” of false facts about the pandemic. GREECE said it had resumed production of chloroquine to treat people with Covid-19 and would continue trials with the drug despite a major UK trial run by Oxford University concluding there was no evidence it worked. IRAN announced more than 2,000 new infections, in line with a recent surge that its president, Hassan Rouhani, has attributed to increased testing. TAIWAN said no new cases of Covid-19 had been confirmed on its territory in the past 24 hours, the 59th consecutive day without a local infection. INDONESIA reported its biggest daily increase in cases for a second successive day, with 1,241 new infections taking its total to 34,316 and a death toll of 1,959. Nearly all economic and social activities have resumed in MALAYSIA after nearly three months in lockdown curbed the spread of the virus. Malaysians are now returning to school and can travel for domestic holidays, get haircuts and shop at street markets. Continue reading...
