Filipino healthcare workers should be given "additional protection" against Covid-19 so they can work safely, the Filipino UK Nurses Association says.

In Wales, seven of the 16 health workers who have died with coronavirus were originally from the Philippines.

The Welsh government said a risk assessment tool was in use.

It comes after a major study concluded South Asian people were 20% more likely to die with Covid-19 after being admitted to hospital in the UK.

According to the study, other minority ethnic groups did not have a higher death rate.

Scientists are investigating whether searches for particular medical problems could be used to predict a second spike in cases of Covid-19.

In the UK, searches for loss of taste and smell were peaking before lockdown, and long before those symptoms were announced as being linked to the disease.

Russia holds its delayed World War Two victory parade and the EU mulls a travel ban. Here's the latest from Europe

• Planes, tanks and thousands of soldiers are gathered in Moscow as Russia holds its delayed 75th anniversary World War Two victory parade.

• The EU is considering plans to bar travellers from countries with high infection rates - including the US, Brazil and Russia. While some countries worry about the affects such a ban could have on tourism, others are more concerned about the continued spread of the virus
• Lockdowns are under way in two German districts where there have been local outbreaks. Authorities have also reimposed restrictions in parts of northeastern Spain
• And world number one men's tennis player Novak Djokovic has apologised after becoming the fourth person to test positive who took part at his Adria Tour competition. Djokovic said it was "too soon" to host the event

Good morning if you're just joining us in the UK - a day after the government announced major changes to England's measures to contain the coronavirus.

We'll be bringing you reaction and the latest from the UK around the world on this sunny Wednesday.

Here are five things you need to know:

1. Health leaders are calling for an urgent review to determine whether the UK is properly prepared for the "real risk" of a second wave of infections
2. Businesses told they can reopen in 10 days' time are now waiting for detailed guidance on the measures they must put in place. Rent day has also arrived for struggling retailers, adding even greater pressure. In Scotland, more detail on dates for lockdown easing will be announced later
3. Whatever happens next we will not be told about it in a daily government news conference - they're being scrapped. From now on televised briefings will be given on an "ad hoc" basis to "coincide with significant announcements," Downing Street says
4. Hundreds of thousands of university students who have missed out on learning during lockdown are being asked to sign up for a "mass action". The National Union of Students (NUS) wants debt relief and compensation for students, but England's universities minister says students should complain to their individual universities
5. Adults are spending a quarter of their waking day online during lockdown, according to Ofcom. The pandemic has radically changed the nature of online behaviour too, the regulator says, with people seeking new ways to keep connected, informed, entertained and fit during lockdown

While pubs and hairdressers have been given the all clear by government to reopen on 4 July, many business owners were disappointed to learn they must keep their doors closed for now.

"It was a shock. I can understand the logical argument but personally it feels very irritating and disappointing," said Adam Grant, a tattoo artist and studio manager at Tattoo UK in Uxbridge, west London.

He says it was frustrating to hear that hairdressers can open on 4 July, while tattoo parlours must remain closed.

It was especially irritating since tattoo parlours already have measures in place to prevent-cross contamination he says, such as the disposable gloves and aprons which artists must wear.

Scientists believe the new coronavirus Sars-Cov-2 may have originated in bats before jumping to humans, possibly via another animal.

Bats are known to be reservoirs of viruses that affect humans, so studying them can give us important clues about how to fight new ones.

Here's what one group of scientists in Thailand is doing:

UK adults have spent a quarter of their waking day online during lockdown - a record high, according to Ofcom.

During April, adults spent an average of four hours a day online, up from three-and-a-half in September 2019, the communications watchdog said.

And seven in 10 people made video calls at least once a week during lockdown, with millions turning to Zoom for the first time.

The pandemic has radically changed online behaviour, according to Ofcom's Online Nation Report, external, with people seeking new ways to stay connected, informed, entertained and fit during lockdown.

A tally of figures collated by Johns Hopkins University shows that the total number of virus-related deaths in Latin America and the Caribbean is now more than 100,000.

More than half of these deaths have been reported in Brazil, where case numbers continue to be among the highest in the world, behind only the US.

Mexico has over 23,300 fatalities. Both countries have taken less severe lockdown measures than many other nations and neither has imposed nationwide restrictions.

Peru and Chile have also been badly affected, with 8,404 and 4,505 deaths respectively.

Latin America now consistently reports more daily cases than the US and Europe, and experts say the peak of the epidemic in some countries is still weeks away.

Russia will on Wednesday celebrate its biggest public holiday, Victory Day, with a military parade in Moscow that was meant to be held on 9 May.

President Vladimir Putin reluctantly postponed the big annual celebration because of the coronavirus pandemic.

It is 75 years since the then USSR defeated Nazi Germany. World War Two cost more than 20 million Soviet lives.

Moscow's lockdown has eased this month, enabling the parade, featuring tanks and long-range missiles, to go ahead.

The annual parade in Red Square - starting this year at 10:00 (07:00 GMT) - is always an occasion for President Putin to harness Russian patriotic feelings, in a way reminiscent of Soviet times.

Yesterday Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced that pubs, restaurants, hotels and hairdressers will be able to open from 4 July in England.

Two households will be able to meet indoors and stay overnight - with social distancing - in England as well.

Theatres, cinemas, libraries, museums, theme parks and zoos are among other places that can also reopen.

But indoor gyms, swimming pools, nail bars and indoor play areas will remain closed for the moment, as they have been since lockdown started on 23 March.

Mr Johnson said people should remain two metres apart where possible but a "one metre plus" rule would be introduced in England from 4 July.

This means people can be 1m away from each other as long as other measures are in place to curb possible transmission, including the use of face coverings.

Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, Wales' First Minister Mark Drakeford and Northern Ireland's Arlene Foster have said the 2m rule will remain in place in their nations for the time being.

Delhi now has more than 66,000 infections, making it the second worst-hit city in India.

The capital is close to surpassing Mumbai, which has the highest number of cases at around 68,000. But it looks like infections in Mumbai are slowly falling - it reported just over 800 new infections in the past 24 hours.

Infections have not exceeded 50 since 5 May - when the city was still under a state of emergency.

Mongolia is today voting for a new parliament - making it the second country in the world to hold national elections during the virus outbreak, after South Korea.

It's taking several measures to keep people safe, including checking voters' temperatures, disinfecting voting stations, and providing voters with disposable gloves.

Australia’s death toll now stands at 103, after an elderly man in Victoria died overnight.

It’s the first fatality in over a month and comes as an outbreak continues in the state capital Melbourne.

Almost all of Australia’s new infections have come from six suburban “hotspots” in the city, some of which have large migrant populations. Most clusters had come from family gatherings, officials said.

Authorities have defended their messaging to non-English speaking communities, after leaders pointed out non-English warnings were inadequate or had been patchy.

Eight new community transmissions were reported overnight – slightly lower than the average reported in the past week, officials said.

However the state is still scrambling to tackle the spike and confine it before it spreads further.
