Coronavirus live updates: Greece faces 'huge difficulties' when flights resume; Toronto makes masks mandatory
India has over 550,000 infections; Spain looking at 11 fresh outbreaks * Fauci warns that states may be ‘skipping over’ Covid-19 guidelines * Leicester lockdown: what are the new Covid-19 restrictions? * Jacinda Ardern decries ‘dangerous’ calls to reopen New Zealand borders * UK coronavirus updates – live * World map: which countries have the most cases and deaths? 4.12pm BST Governments in Nigeria and Senegal are the latest in West Africa to ease restrictions on internal travel and reopen schools, amid increasing steps by countries to adapt daily life to the risks of the Covid-19 pandemic. Senegal’s state of emergency and curfew, imposed on March 23rd will be lifted from tomorrow, President Macky Sall said in a televised address yesterday. Air borders will reopen from July 15, with international flights resuming under a raft of health protocols set to be announced. Land and sea borders will remain closed, yet Sall, who is himself under quarantine after coming into contact with an infected person, said the loosening of measures would support the country’s economy. Growth is predicted to collapse from 6.2% last year to 1.1% this year or less, due to the epidemic. Two-thirds of Senegal’s 6,800 infections have recovered, while 112 people have died. Officials in Nigeria, have also lifted bans on interstate travel and allowed domestic flights to resume. Universities and secondary schools will reopen for final-year students too to sit exams while primary schools and nurseries remain closed. There are 25,000 confirmed cases of Covid-19 in Nigeria, the third largest outbreak in Africa, doubling over the last three weeks. 9,400 people have recovered and 573 people have died. Officials are keen to ease measures as quickly as possible amid bleak projections for Africa’s largest economy. Last week, the World Bank said 5 million people could fall into poverty this year, in what could be the worst economic recession since the 1980s, caused by the pandemic and a global oil price crash. Nigeria already has the highest number of people living in extreme poverty in the world, 94 million according to the World Poverty Clock, which monitors global progress against poverty. 4.03pm BST Canada’s largest city will make face masks mandatory in public spaces as it works to control the spread of the coronavirus. On Tuesday morning, Toronto’s mayor and the city’s medical officer announced the new rules, which will take effect on 7 July if the city council passes the motion today. “You have told us you don’t want to see a repeat of what you see when you turn on your TV and see reports from the United States,” said mayor John Tory, in reference to a surge in coronavirus infections throughout the south-western parts of the US.
