Coronavirus live news: India passes 20m cases; German plan to give more freedoms to fully vaccinated ‘unfair’

India records 357,229 new daily cases; law that would lift curbs for those with all jabs discriminates against young people who won’t be able to get jabs for months * ‘Like living in a horror film’: UK doctors raise Covid funds for India * German ‘jab to freedom’ Covid bill criticised as unfair to young people * Foreign Office revises UK Covid advice for non-essential travel * Vaccine shortages blight India’s efforts to contain Covid crisis * See all coronavirus coverage 8.15pm BST A rise in coronavirus infections on the GREEK island of Kalymnos prompted authorities to place it under lockdown on Tuesday, a day after restrictions were eased across the country. Restaurants and bars reopened in Greece after six months on Monday, as it took a further step towards easing restrictions ahead of the official opening of the tourism season on May 15.

Under the measures, residents will only be allowed to leave their homes for workplaces that remain open, to visit the doctor or pharmacy, to walk their pets or for supermarket shopping until 6 p.m. Other restrictions include the suspension of construction work and religious ceremonies, excluding funerals with up to nine people. Residents are only permitted to leave the island for health reasons. 7.58pm BST CANADA’S pandemic-era policy of turning back asylum-seekers trying to enter between official border crossings is unlawful and violates their rights, a legal action filed on Tuesday alleges. The Canadian Association of Refugee Lawyers filed the legal action in federal court claiming the policy is unlawful because it fails to consider the situation of asylum-seekers and whether they have reasonable alternatives available. The policy also denies asylum-seekers their right to a hearing, according to a copy of the legal action seen by Reuters. It is the first legal action against the policy. Continue reading...
