LIVE Moscow Set To Ease Lockdown Restrictions

From Tuesday, people in Moscow will be allowed to move around the city whenever they like
Moscow's mayor said this was possible as hospitals were discharging more people than they were admitting
But there remain concerns about a rush to reopen as the city still records 2,000 infections a day
The UK recorded its lowest daily death toll since 22 March - 55 people died with Covid-19
The WHO said that the pandemic was worsening globally, even as it seemed to be easing in Europe
In Brazil, the number of cases pass 700,000, but a controversy is growing over its data
There are more than 7 million infections globally, with over 400,000 deaths
More than seven million cases of coronavirus have been confirmed since the outbreak began, along with 404,000 virus-related deaths.
And - despite progress in tackling the virus in Europe - the WHO says the pandemic is "worsening" globally.
"More than six months into this pandemic, this is not the time for any country to take its foot off the pedal," WHO head Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said.
At a coronavirus briefing on Monday, he told reporters that more than 100,000 cases had been reported in nine of the past 10 days, and that 75% of Sunday's cases came from just 10 countries - most of them in the Americas and South Asia.
Tedros also said the WHO was encouraged by "positive signs" in several countries.
"In these countries, the biggest threat now is complacency," he said.
"Results from studies to see how much of the population has been exposed to the virus show that most people globally are still susceptible to infection."

As Europe starts to open, what is it like to fly at the moment?
The BBC’s Europe correspondent Jean Mackenzie has taken a number of flights while reporting on the virus. She documented her journey back to the UK last week.
It remains a possibility if state governments agree, Australian Football League boss Gillon McLachlan has hinted.
The hugely popular spectator sport is due to recommence its season on Thursday, playing nine games over the weekend to empty stadiums in four states.
But with Australian infections remaining low, there is speculation that small numbers of fans could be permitted to attend some matches.
Tony Cochrane, chairman of club the Gold Coast Suns, said he had pitched one proposal to the Queensland government.
"We are talking about 1,000 people," he told Channel Nine this morning.
Mr McLachlan said the league was closely watching the states to see if they loosened restrictions.
"I think there will be announcements this week but as we sit here... my understanding is there's not an authorisation [to allow crowds]," he told local radio SEN.
