The news in the UK has been dominated by the decision to quarantine arrivals from Spain, which was made by the government at the weekend.
You can catch up with the day's news with our evening briefing here.
It's been another busy day of developments as the coronavirus pandemic continues to affect the lives of millions around the world. As we prepare to pause our live coverage, here are the main global headlines:
"We have to wear more PPE, even though we wear PPE as well on a regular basis," says tattooist Jules Lee, who runs a tattoo shop in Bangor.
Tattoo parlours have reopened today in Wales for the first time since lockdown, along with beauty salons, spas and tanning shops. They've already opened in England, Scotland and NI.
Clients have to make appointments, with no more walk-ins from the street allowed.

Health workers in Brazil have urged the International Criminal Court (ICC) in the Hague to investigate President Jair Bolsonaro's government over its handling of the pandemic.
A group claiming to represent more than one million healthcare staff has handed over a dossier of evidence to the court. It alleges that government negligence has contributed to the deaths of tens of thousands of people.
The government has not responded to the complaint.
Mr Bolsonaro has repeatedly dismissed the virus as a minor threat, ignoring social distancing and calling for lockdown measures to be suspended.
But Brazil has recorded nearly 2.5m infections and is second only to the United States in terms of cases and deaths from Covid-19.

In Japan, the government is urging people to take working holidays to boost the coronavirus-hit economy.
The Chief Cabinet Secretary, Yoshihide Suga, said ministries would encourage tourist destinations to become more work-friendly with a new push for WiFi connectivity in hotels and traditional hot spring inns.
A government scheme providing financial incentives for domestic holidaymakers is already in force in Japan, where borders remain closed to foreign visitors.
But critics have pointed to the risks of encouraging people to move around the country with the number of infections increasing.
The tourism sector had been expecting a boost from the now delayed 2020 Olympic Games.

BBC Reality Check
Image source, SOPA imagesFalse and misleading posts about the global hunt for a vaccine are circulating online. We’ve been fact-checking some widely shared examples.
In one video, a US-based osteopath claims that Covid-19 vaccines are designed to make humans into “genetically modified organisms” and vaccines will change recipients’ DNA.
This is not true - there are 25 different candidate vaccines, external in clinical trials around the world according to the World Health Organization (WHO) and none of them will alter human DNA.
The vaccines are all designed to provoke an immune response by training our bodies to recognise and fight the virus.
The video also claims that trials are not following sound scientific protocol and we’ve spotted similar concerns in Facebook groups.
"New vaccines undergo rigorous safety checks before they can be recommended for widespread use," says Michelle Roberts, the BBC's online health editor.
As we’ve seen throughout the pandemic, this video uses scientific language which will be unfamiliar to many people, making it difficult for them to assess what’s accurate or not.
We can help - if there’s a claim you’d like us to investigate, get in touch with the Reality Check team here.

Belgium is tightening restrictions - but avoiding another lockdown - because of a worrying rise in Covid-19 cases.
From Wednesday, Belgians will be allowed to see a maximum of five people outside of their families. Currently a Belgian individual can meet 15 people in a "social bubble".
The rise in cases has been especially sharp in the city of Antwerp.
In the past week an average of 279 people daily have caught coronavirus in Belgium, compared with 163 a day the week before. The current death toll officially is 9,821.
"Until now, the 'social bubble' of each person was limited to 15 people per week. From Wednesday, it will be limited to five people, always the same ones, for the next four weeks, and this for an entire family," said PM Sophie Wilmès.
"So we are counting for the household and no longer per person. Children under the age of 12 do not count in those five people."
Belgium is also halving the numbers allowed at public gatherings - to 100 indoors, and 200 outdoors.

F1 Driver Lewis Hamilton has issued a statement to "clarify his thoughts" after sharing a video that fuels conspiracy theories about Bill Gates and a coronavirus vaccine.
He shared the original post on his Instagram story to over 18 million followers for 13 hours - but in a new post he's now said he "hadn’t seen the comment attached" and that he's "only human".
The video was from a large Instagram account that features Gates being interviewed on US television about progress being made on a coronavirus vaccine - with the caption "I remember when I told my first lie" (the caption was not written by Hamilton).
In the video, Gates addresses concerns about side effects reported during ongoing vaccine trials - and also dismisses unfounded rumours that the vaccines are a way of microchipping people (claims which Reality Check has debunked)
However, the caption suggests that both his dismissal and reassurances about the vaccine are untrue.
Hamilton has since said that he's "not against a vaccine" and that it "will be important in the fight against coronavirus".

Less than a week after the Major League Baseball (MLB) season launched, two games have been postponed due to outbreaks of the virus.
Games between the Miami Marlins and Baltimore Orioles in Florida, and the Philadelphia Phillies and New York Yankees in Pennsylvania, had been scheduled for Monday but have now been cancelled.
The decision followed reports in US media that 10 members of the Marlins - eight players and two coaches - had tested positive for the virus. That would bring the total number of cases on the team to 14.
It comes just days after the MLB began its season, which was delayed for four months because of the pandemic
The MLB said in a statement that the games were postponed while it "conducts additional Covid-19 testing". It is expected to hold an emergency meeting in the coming days.
Image source, PA MediaTour operator Jet2 has cancelled flights to Spain and Portugal following the latest UK government guidance.
The company said it was suspending routes to Almeria, Alicante, Malaga and Murcia from Tuesday up to and including August 16, as well as to Faro, in the Algarve region of Portugal.
A spokesperson said Jet2 would be monitoring the situation closely and that it would be proactively contacting customers already in the countries to inform them of their options.
Its announcement came before the Foreign Office updated its non-essential travel advice for Spain to include the Spanish islands.
On Saturday a 14-day quarantine was introduced for visitors returning from Spain after an increase in coronavirus cases there.
A Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) spokesperson said: "We have considered the overall situation for British nationals travelling to and from the Balearic and Canary Islands, including the impact of the requirement to self-isolate on return to the UK, and concluded that we should advise British nationals against all non-essential travel to the whole of Spain."
The FCO added that while people currently in Spain will have to self-isolate upon their return they are not being advised to cut short their visits.
The UK's Foreign and Commonwealth Office has updated its travel advice for Spain, stating that people should not make non-essential journeys to any part of the country, including the Canary Islands and Balearic Islands.
Reality Check
Health Secretary Matt Hancock wrote in the Daily Telegraph this morning, external: “If everyone who is overweight lost five pounds it could save the NHS over £100 million over the next five years.”
That figure is based on the finding in this research, external, which looked at savings in treating things like cancer, heart disease, type 2 diabetes and strokes if all overweight people lost 2.5kg.
What the government has done is to extend those findings across the 27.2 million overweight adults in the UK.
The result seems remarkably small. It’s a saving of less than £4 per person over five years.
In terms of the overall budget of the NHS it’s also a very small amount of money saved – about one hundredth of a percent.
The government has unveiled a range of measures amid growing evidence of a link between obesity and increased risk from Covid-19.
BBC medical drama Holby City has resumed filming for the first time in four months, with a special episode that sees the hospital gripped by the coronavirus pandemic.
In a statement, the BBC said the drama will be back on screens later this year with slightly shorter 40-minute episodes.
It added that, throughout the production, the Holby City team would practice social distancing and have other protocols in place to ensure workplace safety.
Image source, ReutersThe UK decision to make arrivals from Spain self-isolate has shocked the tourism industry
After the UK imposed a 14-day quarantine on all arrivals from Spain, a Spanish tourism group has offered to pay for tourists to take coronavirus tests.
Jorge Marichal, head of Spain’s Confederation of Hotels and Tourist Accommodation (CEHAT), has called for a Europe-wide programme of reciprocal visitor testing to help the embattled tourism sector.
Describing the UK government quarantine order as “a surprise and a disappointment”, he said decisions should be taken "at a European level” for the “maximum safety of tourists, workers and residents of tourist areas”.
A similar debate is brewing in Germany, where the government is coming under pressure to make testing mandatory for people returning from high-risk countries.
On Friday authorities made free tests available voluntarily for people coming back from countries like Brazil, Turkey and the US, but some politicians want it to be compulsory.
Image source, Getty ImagesOne of the top stories in the UK today has been about obesity, as the government unveils its new strategy to tackle the health issue in England.
The plan includes a ban on "buy one get one free" deals on unhealthy food and new rules for displaying calories on menus.
But Prime Minister Boris Johnson has said the plans will also help in the ongoing work to control Covid-19. They will "reduce our health risks and protect ourselves against coronavirus," he said.
It comes amid growing evidence of a link between obesity and an increased risk of complications from coronavirus.
Government statistics showed nearly 8% of critically ill patients in intensive care units with the virus have been morbidly obese, compared with 2.9% of the general population.
Johnson said he had been "steadily building up my fitness" after recovering from coronavirus.
"I'm at least a stone down, I'm more than a stone down," he said.

The head of the regional government of Catalonia, in north-eastern Spain, has called for the Catholic Church to be penalised over a mass that breached coronavirus restrictions.
The gathering in Barcelona's famous Sagrada Familia basilica was held to commemorate victims of the pandemic on Sunday. Social distancing measures were in place, but the numbers attending exceeded the decreed maximum of ten.
Catalan President Quim Torra said a collective effort was needed to tackle the region's growing outbreak, which he described as "very worrying".
Spain's rate of infection has jumped in recent days. While the outbreak remains under control in many parts, certain areas - in particular Catalonia and the neighbouring region of Aragón - have seen a huge spike in infections.
Local authorities have issued stay-at-home orders for some four million residents in Catalonia, including in the regional capital Barcelona. Earlier today, Mr Torra said even stricter lockdown measures could be imposed if infection numbers did not improve in the next 10 days.

In the US, the $600 (£465) a week additional payment that the government approved to top up unemployment benefits during the pandemic will expire on 31 July.
In many states, recipients have already received their last cheque.
"It's pretty dire," says Brandon Humberston, who worked as a cook at Mexican restaurant until the pandemic cost him his job. His benefits will be cut from $750 to $150. "My generation is hanging on by a thread."
Politicians in Washington have yet to act.
While Democrats have proposed another $3tn in spending, Republicans have rejected that plan and they are divided about how much more aid - if any - is warranted.
The fate of the unemployment benefits that Mr Humberston - and an estimated 30 million other Americans rely on - is giving the debate a sense of urgency.
