In the first of a series of diaries, Prof John Wright reports on Covid-19 preparations at Bradford Royal Infirmary.

"Everyone is now funnelled through one main door. Staff must show their passes and patients are no longer allowed to bring visitors, even for cancer treatments.

"But on Thursday night one man carefully dressed in doctor's scrubs. He even completed his disguise with a stethoscope. He then attempted to bluff his way past a security guard, who demanded to see his pass, and when he was caught he made a run for it.

"There had already been thefts of surgical gowns, masks, protective equipment and sanitisers. It's possible this man was after supplies like these, or possibly drugs."

Spain's Foreign Minister, Arancha González, has told the BBC the country's latest national figures show the virus’s upwards curve appears to be flattening out.

The Spanish authorities have confirmed 6,398 more cases of coronavirus. This brings the total to 85,195 - higher than that of China, where the outbreak began.

Another 812 deaths have also been reported. The national total now stands at 7,340, making Spain the worst-affected country in the world behind Italy.

Madrid, Catalonia and the Basque region remain the hardest-hit areas.

But there is some good news: the number of new confirmed cases is the lowest reported for a week.

Ms González said pressure on intensive care units remained the biggest challenge, and new restrictions would help contain the spread.

The foreign minister also said it was unfair to single out Spain because other countries - including Italy and the US - were also dealing with unprecedented numbers.

On Radio 4's Today programme, some of BBC News' best-known voices are offering favourite poems of #comfortandhope, and talking about the importance of the words in their lives.

Spain is further tightening its lockdown and Hungary is voting on a controversial new coronavirus law. Here’s the latest from Europe:

• New, stricter measures have come into force in Spain for the next two weeks, which stop all people in non-essential jobs from going to work. The country reported 812 deaths on Monday, bringing its total to 7,340
• In Hungary, parliament will vote on whether or not to give sweeping powers to Prime Minister Viktor Orban. The government says they're needed to fight the coronavirus outbreak but critics say they could curtail freedom of speech and allow the authorities to imprison journalists
• Economic advisers in Germany will publish a report on the economic impact of the virus. There are more than 62,000 reported cases nationwide, but only 541 deaths – a low number compared to other nations, which is confusing experts

Prine, 73, was taken to hospital on Thursday but his condition worsened on Saturday.

The price of oil has sunk to levels not seen since for 18 years as demand for crude has collapsed amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Brent crude fell to $23.03 a barrel at one point on Monday morning, its lowest level since November 2002.

In addition to the drop in demand, a price war broke out earlier this month between Saudi Arabia and Russia.

However, an analyst said a collapse in demand from the measures taken to counter the spread of coronavirus was now the main factor.

There are calls for a British citizen who’s being treated for Covid-19 in South Korea to be deported after he broke quarantine guidelines, possibly spreading the virus while travelling through the country.

The man, said to be in his thirties, travelled to South Korea from Thailand. He was examined at the airport but showed no symptoms of coronavirus. He was told to spend 14 days in self-isolation.

Instead, he reportedly visited four different cities, coming into close contact with 23 people over five days. He developed symptoms during that time and went to a test centre where he was told, once again, to self-isolate until he received his results. However, he is believed to have played screen golf at a games centre right after.

The justice ministry is investigating if his actions were illegal or if he put others in danger. He will be questioned after he recovers.

South Korea is toughening its entry rules. It is now mandatory for all arrivals to undergo 14 days of quarantine and they must download an app that tracks their symptoms and movements.

The government has warned that any foreigner breaking these rules will be deported while South Korean citizens will be fined.

If you look at the statistics, Germany has a much lower mortality rate than other major European countries: more than 62,000 infections but only 541 deaths. So what's behind the numbers?

The most likely explanation is extensive testing: Germany started doing widespread testing early on, confirming many cases with only mild symptoms.

That means the number of confirmed cases is closer to the actual number of infections than in other countries, where confirmed cases may show only a fraction of those infected. So if Italy, Spain or the UK included all those mild cases currently not being tested, their mortality rates might not be all that different from Germany after all.

Another explanation is healthcare capacity: Germany has more extensive care capacity than France, Italy or the UK.

This means that currently the medical system can still cope relatively well with the number of severely ill. Patients from Italy and France are even being taken to Germany for treatment. Yet once the number of critically ill in the country peaks, the German healthcare system is also expected to find itself overstretched.
