We reported yesterday that Vietnam had confirmed its first locally-transmitted case of coronavirus in 100 days - a 57-year-old grandfather in the central city of Danang.

Now another three locally-transmitted cases have been confirmed, and officials in the country have reintroduced social distancing measures in the city in response.

The three new cases included a 17-year-old boy in Quang Ngai province, and a 71-year-old woman in Danang.

Vietnam, a single-party communist state, has been praised globally for its swift and effective response to the coronavirus outbreak. It was one of the earliest countries to lock down and enforce restrictions.

Its total number of cases is now 420 - one of the lowest in the world - and its death toll is zero.

Lockdown put an end to sports fans heading out to support their teams.

But after the slow return of the action to empty stadia, today marks the first time cricket fans will be able to cheer on the players from the boundaries.

Around 1,000 people will be welcomed to the home of Surrey Cricket Club, the Oval, this afternoon for a friendly against Middlesex (rain permitting) in the first trial of its kind.

And more trials for different sports are on their way.

The change in rules for travellers returning from Spain is also in place north of the border.

Scotland only lifted the 14-day quarantine rule last week for people returning from the country, but reimposed it on Saturday in line with the rest of the UK.

The Scottish government's justice secretary, Humza Yousaf, said the move would be "disappointing" for holidaymakers, but it was necessary to reduce the risk of the spread of the virus.

He says coronavirus is "still active and it is still deadly".

Holidaymakers face last-minute disruption to their plans after the government introduced new rules requiring travellers arriving in the UK from Spain to self-isolate for two weeks.

The measures will apply to those returning from mainland Spain, the Canary Islands (Tenerife, Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, La Palma, La Gomera, El Hierro and La Graciosa) and the Balearic Islands, such as Majorca and Ibiza.

But what does it mean in practice for travellers?

• The new rules came into force on Sunday and apply to people returning to all four nations of the UK - England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland
• People currently on holiday in Spain have been told to follow local rules, return home as normal, and check the Foreign and Commonwealth Office's (FCO) advice pages.The FCO is not advising those already in Spain to leave. Abta - the UK's travel trade association - has advised customers in Spain to return from their holidays as normal
• Holiday operator Tui has cancelled all holidays to Spain booked with them until 9 August
• For people who have booked with other firms, the FCO is advising against all but essential travel to mainland Spain. Abta has advised customers due to travel to the country imminently to contact their travel provider
• The Association of British Insurers (ABI) has said it is "likely" that travel insurance will remain in place for holidaymakers already in Spain until they return home. However, those attempting to travel to countries against FCO advice would invalidate their travel insurance
• Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said no worker following quarantine guidance should be penalised by employers - including being forced onto sick pay

Which magazine travel editor Rory Boland said reimposing quarantine rules on British tourists travelling to Spain will leave many people in a difficult position with their employers.

"If you have an employer that says you'll lose your job if you don't come in, the government says you've got to quarantine, what do you do?"

Mr Boland told the BBC's News Channel it was "almost certain" that many holidaymakers who jetted off to Spain just as schools broke for up for the summer holidays, "would not have travelled if they had known they'd be required to quarantine when they return".

He said it was "extraordinary" that No 10 did not make the decision "48 hours ago [or] 24 hours ago" after Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said ministers received virus data from Spain on Friday.

"It is impossible for holidaymakers to have any confidence in booking holidays if the government is going to announce new quarantine measures at 20:00 BST on a Saturday that come in at midnight - that's four hours notice."

Iran confirmed another 2,333 new Covid-19 cases on Sunday, continuing a surge in infections that began in mid-May.

The health ministry also reported another 216 deaths over the past 24 hours, bringing the toll to 15,700.

Iran began relaxing lockdown measures in April following a drop in the number of infections. It reopened mosques, shopping centres and public parks and allowed travel to resume between provinces.

The initial outbreak was concentrated in Qom and the capital, Tehran, but the latest flare-up is in the south-west, notably in Khuzestan province bordering Iraq.

President Hassan Rouhani has told Iranians they must wear masks on public transport and in crowded areas.

Meanwhile, authorities in Tehran have re-imposed restrictions on some businesses and public gatherings.

You know things have happened fast when even the man who's in charge of the policy has been caught out.

While it's pretty certain that Grant Shapps's boss isn't going to mind him taking another 14 days off, the sudden nature of this "Spanish re-imposition" is going to cause big problems for many holidaymakers when they head home.

It highlights the dilemma at the heart of this policy: responding quickly to changes in the infection rate in other countries is vital to stopping the spread of the virus but that makes it unpredictable for would-be travellers.

So the big question for the UK government is: will the necessary flexibility of opening up and closing down "travel corridors" end up undermining the confidence they were supposed to create?

And if it does, how does the government respond to an industry that's already been hit hard?

Holidaymakers travelling from Madrid back to the UK have told of their anguish at new rules requiring travellers arriving back from Spain to isolate for two weeks.

One traveller said the rule change had come "all of a sudden" and has not given people much time to prepare so "everyone's now panicking".

She said she had a wedding to go to and had planned to visit family and friends she hadn't seen in a long time - which would now have to be cancelled.

"It's quite upsetting", she said.

With Spain in the spotlight over its rising numbers of coronavirus cases, France and Germany are also struggling to keep infections in check.

In France, the number of new daily infections rose above 1,000 for a second day running on Saturday bringing the level back to where it was when lockdown was eased in May. France has been one of Europe's worst-affected countries with more than 217,000 cases and about 30,000 deaths.

On Friday, Prime Minister Jean Castex announced on-the-spot testing for travellers arriving from 16 high-risk nations but said he wanted to avoid a return to a full lockdown to protect the economy. France has also advised its citizens not to travel to Spain's north-eastern region of Catalonia.

In Germany, the number of new cases rose sharply on Friday to 815, the biggest tally since mid-May, and remained high on Saturday with 781 new cases.

Health Minister Jens Spahn told Deutschlandfunk radio that the government might introduce compulsory testing for travellers arriving from high-risk destinations such as the US, Brazil and Turkey.

Package holiday company TUI has cancelled all its holidays to mainland Spain until 9 August following the change in the UK's quarantine rules for arrivals from Spain.

The firm said in a statement: “Due to travel advice change against all but essential travel to mainland Spain, TUI UK have taken the decision to cancel all holidays to mainland Spain up to and including Sunday 9 August."

It said holidaymakers wishing "to travel to the Balearic Islands and Canary Islands will be able to travel as planned from Monday 27th July.

“Customers due to travel to all areas of Spain between 27th July and Sunday 9th August will be able to cancel or amend holidays and will be able to receive a full refund or the option to rebook their holiday with a booking incentive.

"Customers with holidays from 10th August will be updated on Friday 31st July."

TUI added that all customers currently in Spain can continue to enjoy their holiday and will be able to return on their planned flight home.

The firm added that regional travel corridors should be considered and urged ministers to "work closely" with the travel industry "as this level of uncertainty and confusion is damaging for business and disappointing for those looking forward to a well-deserved break".

UK holidaymakers have been responding to the news that travellers arriving from Spain will now have to quarantine for 14 days, with many expressing frustration at the new rules.

Lois Stothard, from South Yorkshire, says she booked a holiday to Seville as a surprise for her boyfriend's 30th birthday - due to fly out on Sunday morning - but now feels that she cannot travel.

"I'm a key worker - I'm a teacher - and my boyfriend has work commitments so we cannot quarantine for 14 days when we return," she said.

"We can't get any money back and to change the company want double what I've already paid in fees.

"I'm very disappointed and upset as we're packed and ready to go."

Malcolm Eggar and his family were due to be flying to Alicante this morning, but he said they have received no information about whether their flights will go ahead.

He told BBC Breakfast: “We were thinking the flight was going to be cancelled. [There has been] no information whatsoever on what we can do. At the moment, we’re in limbo.”

Malcolm, who lives in Solihull, said the situation is very “frustrating and upsetting”, particularly as the holiday would have been the first time his wife – a frontline NHS worker – had seen her parents - who live in Spain - this year.

“We’ve just come out of lockdown, and my wife has absolutely been through it over the past few months, so we needed this break.”

North Korea says it has locked down the city of Kaesong near the border with South Korea over fears that a defector who returned to the North last week was infected with the coronavirus.

The reclusive country's leader, Kim Jong-un, has declared an emergency and convened an emergency meeting of his politburo. "The vicious virus could be said to have entered the country," he was quoted as saying by the KCNA state news agency.

If confirmed, it would be the first official Covid-19 infection in North Korea. The secretive state has previously claimed to be free of the virus, although analysts cast doubt on the claim - saying the coronavirus was likely to have already entered from neighbouring China.

State media said the defector had left for the South three years ago but returned across the border to Kaesong last week. South Korea says there is a strong possibility that a crossing was made and that it is investigating.

Among the holidaymakers whose travel plans have been disrupted today is Transport Secretary Grant Shapps, who has been caught up in his own department's rule change while on holiday there.

Mr Shapps had travelled to Spain with his family on Saturday morning for a summer break, but just hours later, the Department for Transport confirmed the new quarantine rules due to a spike in cases in the country.

A DfT spokesman said Mr Shapps would continue with his holiday as planned. He will then isolate upon his return, in line with the new rules.

Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said he spoke to Mr Shapps after he had arrived in Spain on Saturday, and that his colleague "recognised we had to take the measures".

Mr Raab told Sky's Sophy Ridge on Sunday the transport secretary "empathised with the many other people" who were experiencing the same thing, adding: "I think it shows you the risk for everyone... and shows you we have got to take swift measures."

Australia has experienced its deadliest day of the pandemic so far, with 10 deaths reported on Sunday and a rising number of infections.

In the state of Victoria - the epicentre of the current outbreak - 459 new cases were reported on Sunday, up from 357 on Saturday. About a dozen more were recorded elsewhere in the country.

The national death toll now stands at 155 with about 14,000 cases.

In a bid to curb the latest spike in infections, a lockdown has been imposed on about five million people in greater Melbourne for the past two weeks. The wearing of face masks is mandatory in the city.

Police have also been guarding Victoria's state borders to stop all but essential travel and enforcing quarantine orders.

Mr Raab said there is no guarantee other countries will not be removed from the government's "safe list" of countries exempt from the 14 day quarantine rules.

He told Sophy Ridge on Sunday: "As we've found with Spain, we can't give a guarantee.

"All we can say is we've got this Joint Biosecurity Centre, we monitor the risk in real time, we take decisive swift action and so there is an element of uncertainty this summer if people go abroad."

Mr Raab said that wasn't going to tell the public "what they should and shouldn't do" but that they should "follow the advice", adding: "I'm going to be staying at home this summer".

Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said the government could not apologise for the decision to re-introduce quarantine measures on travellers arriving in the UK from Spain at short notice.

He told Sky News' Sophy Ridge On Sunday programme: "The cases in Spain, the data came we got was on the Friday, showed a big jump right across mainland Spain, that was then assessed yesterday afternoon and we took the decision as swiftly as we could.

"And we can't make apologies for doing so."

He said No 10 must be able to take "swift, decisive action", especially in relation to localised outbreaks or those in particular countries, otherwise "we risk re-infection into the UK, potentially a second wave [of the virus] and then another lockdown".

He said he understood it is "disruptive" for holidaymakers in Spain or those who wanted to travel there, but reiterated his stance that the government must be able to take quick decisions.

Asked why No 10 could not have given holidaymakers an earlier warning, he said ministers had to be able to "gauge the data in real time".

He added: "If we suddenly say, 'we're not quite sure' and give vague advice, it would create more uncertainty."

He said it would have been "far worse to either muddy the waters or to hold back and delay from taking the measures when we need to take them".

The Spanish foreign ministry has responded to the latest UK measures by saying that Spain is safe for visitors and that new coronavirus outbreaks are isolated and under control.

However, although the country ended its state of emergency barely a month ago, cities including Barcelona, Zaragoza and the capital Madrid have seen a surge in new infections.

Health officials reported more than 900 new cases of the virus on Friday and the government has warned that a second wave of infections could be imminent.

In response, Catalonia is closing all nightclubs and late-night bars in the region for the next two weeks.

The BBC's Guy Hedgecoe in Madrid says contagion among young people is a particular worry, as they have been gathering in large numbers in cities at night.

Norway has also said it will start quarantining people arriving from Spain, and France has warned its citizens not to travel to Catalonia. Belgium has banned travel to Huesca and Lleida, with recommendations against travel to a number of other areas in Spain.

People already in Spain can stay for the rest of their holiday, the government says, but from today they will have to self-isolate for two weeks upon their return.

The rules apply to travellers arriving from anywhere in Spain, including the Canary and Balearic Islands. The UK government is now advising "against all but essential travel to mainland Spain".

All travellers arriving into England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland are affected by the new guidelines.
