The results of nationwide antibody tests in Italy suggest that 1.48 million people, or 2.5% of the population, have had coronavirus.

The estimate is six times greater than the number of confirmed cases in the official virus tally.

The tests were conducted on almost 65,000 Italians as part of a campaign to see how widely the virus had spread.

The "provisional analysis" of the results was announced by health officials.

They stressed that the tests were not intended to determine whether Italians with antibodies were now safe from coronavirus.

A woman with incurable cancer has been reunited with her mother after the extended lockdown in Leicester kept them separated for 22 weeks.

Michelle Teale, 58, from Leicester, was shielding because she has secondary breast cancer.

She had not seen her mother Marian Thomas, 85, who lives in Cleethorpes, since 2 March when the UK was in the early stages of the coronavirus crisis.

"I'm feeling just elated. It's like a weight's been lifted," said Mrs Teale.

The head of the United Nations has said indiginous communities must be consulted in the global response to the coronavirus pandemic.

In a statement, , externalUN Secretary General Antonio Guterres said the outbreak has had a "devastating impact" on more than 476 million indigenous people around the world.

"It is critical for countries to marshal the resources to respond to their needs, honour their contributions and respect their inalienable rights," he said.

He added that respecting the rights of indigenous communities means ensuring that they have an input in Covid-19 response and recovery strategies.

Indigenous people tend to be at higher risk from emerging infectious diseases compared to other populations.

Issues include inadequate access to health care, clean water and sanitation, Mr Guterres said.

Russia is pushing ahead with a coronavirus vaccine, working with manufacturers in Brazil and India to produce it in what it says is "very large amounts".

Kirill Dmitriyev, head of Russia's Direct Investment Fund, said it was expected to be registered in the next 10 days.

He said reports in the West that it may be unsafe were an example of "dishonest competition". Mass vaccine production in September is Russia's goal. They have more than one such vaccine in the pipeline.

But Dr Elisabetta Groppelli, a virologist and lecturer in global health at St George's, University of London, told BBC Radio 4's PM no data had yet been shared about the safety and efficacy of the vaccine.

"It's quite worrying that the claims have been made without showing data," she said.

The scientific community felt there has been an element of rushing - and the possibly of shortcuts having been taken - when it comes to a Russian vaccine, she added.

Just hours after classes resumed at an Indiana school, administrators were notified that a student had tested positive for Covid-19.

The school district - one of the first in the US to reopen - told families that it has now enacted its Covid-19 protocol: the student, who attended classes for part of the day, has been isolated and all close contacts have been identified.

And two states south, in Georgia, the state's largest school district has confirmed that roughly 260 employees have either tested positive for the virus, or have been exposed to infections.

The Gwinnett County School District (GCPS) is set to reopen for online classes on 12 August. But despite the confirmed community spread, parents held protests last week demanding students be allowed to return to school.

The reports come as US schools grapple with how to safely reopen as the school year approaches.

Despite climbing infections across the country, President Donald Trump has urged schools to reopen by fall.

US President Donald Trump has lashed out at one of his top medical advisers who warned on Sunday that the US was entering a new phase in its fight against the coronavirus pandemic.

Deborah Birx told CNN the disease was "extraordinarily widespread" across the country and a greater threat than when the outbreak first began.

But on Twitter, Mr Trump described her interview as "pathetic".

He said Dr Birx had fallen into a trap set by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who has accused Mr Trump of spreading disinformation about the virus and Dr Birx of doing little to counter it.

The president's outburst comes two days after he described as "wrong" an interview given by his other coronavirus expert, Dr Anthony Fauci. Dr Fauci had said the high rate of infection in the US stemmed from an inadequate response by the authorities.

Florida surpassed its record for most Covid-19 deaths in a single week on Sunday, with 1,230 fatalities reported in the past seven days.

The Sunshine State broke the previous record - set one week earlier - after reporting 257 deaths on Friday, its highest single-day tally so far.

Florida is among the states leading the US in terms of total Covid-19 infections, second only to California, which has double the population.

Its soaring coronavirus hospitalisations and infections are happening alongside Tropical Storm Isaias, moving along the state's east coast. Thousands of power cuts have already been reported and Governor Ron De Santis has told residents to stockpile a week's supply of food, water and medicine.

Trade in a town hit by a coronavirus outbreak is said to have taken a downturn over the weekend.

Some pubs had closed voluntarily following the outbreak in Stone, Staffordshire. Nineteen people there tested positive after cases were linked to the Crown and Anchor pub.

Ed Stant, secretary of traders' group Stone is Where the Heart is, said trade had been starting to pick up since lockdown but that "for the vast majority it's fallen like a stone".

He described Saturday night in the town as being "like a ghost town".

One restaurant said 17 of the 34 people who booked for a meal on Saturday evening did not show up.

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has said his production company will resume shooting Netflix film Red Notice next month.

Johnson thanked Netflix for helping to provide "the safest and most aggressive 'quarantined bubble'" for the film, which also features Ryan Reynolds and Gal Gadot.

“Like so many of us here in the U.S. and around the world - getting back can be a tough decision that requires real consideration and strategic planning around best health practices and safety measures," Johnson wrote on Instagram., external

"I'm confident in our safety strategy and execution, but we'll also be fluid and amenable to best practice changes on the fly."

Coronavirus has brought production on other fan-favourite programmes and movies to a halt. Days of Our Lives - the longest-running US soap opera - is slated to return to production in September, after a months-long hiatus.

Most music events have been cancelled around the world but four festivals were still going to take place in Malta this month. No longer. They have now been called off due to a rise in Covid-19 cases on the island.

Escape 2 The Island, Rhythm + Waves, BPM Festival: Malta and Mi Casa Festival have all been called off.

A statement from each festival says they are all "disappointed" not to be going ahead, after making a decision with the Maltese Tourism Authority.

Ticket holders, many who were from the UK, will receive a full refund.

Malta was hoping to be 2020's festival hotspot, with most clubs in Mallorca and Ibiza closed and festivals in the UK cancelled.

The line-ups were full of British artists like Chase and Status, Aitch, AJ Tracey and Fatboy Slim, with their social media targeting people in the UK with information on flight prices.

Restaurants should "double-book" tables in case of no-shows, a chef has said he was told by one person who did not turn up for their reservation.

"Chef Eric", who did not want to give his full name, runs Les Enfants Terribles in Weymouth, Dorset.

He said he had been let down by more than 100 people since he reopened the restaurant on 4 July.

"I have been put in a very difficult position after what has already been a difficult time due to coronavirus," said Chef Eric, whose previous "good" customers have included former England footballer David Beckham.

"One woman said I should double-book tables. Can you imagine if a customer turned up and I said, 'I'm sorry you can't sit here because I also booked it for someone else'. Madness."

On Saturday, he said 12 people had also left without paying the bill, which Dorset Police is investigating.

Many other restaurant owners, including celebrity chef Tom Kerridge, have said no-shows are "putting jobs at risk" in an industry "on the verge of collapse".

America's top infectious disease expert, Dr Anthony Fauci, has been the target of viral social media posts, falsely claiming that he is in favour of rolling out a coronavirus vaccine without "proper studies" to make sure it is safe and effective.

Widely shared on Instagram and Facebook, the post fabricates a quote saying these studies "can be performed later" after the vaccinations have been delivered to health care professionals for immediate use.

"This is completely made up," the BBC was told by his employer, the US National Institutes of Health. "Dr Fauci has never said anything like that."

Such fake news about Dr Fauci and others involved in fighting the pandemic have been shared widely on the internet.

This was just one of several misleading claims on US social media sites over the past few days that we’ve been fact-checking.

Scotland followed seven days later, while Northern Ireland and Wales introduced the rule on 16 and 27 July respectively.

Shapps said figures from British Transport Police - the police force for the railways in England, Scotland and Wales - and Transport for London show:

• 285 passengers have been issued with penalty notices for non-compliance
• 6,275 have been asked to leave the transport network
• and 80,294 have been reminded of the rules

Face coverings can be a scarf, piece of cloth or mask. We have more about the rules here.

Earlier we told you about the outbreak on the MS Roald Amundsen, a Norwegian cruise ship where at least 41 passengers and crew have tested positive for Covid-19.

This is the latest blow to an industry that has been hit hard by the pandemic, with shares in the major global operators falling dramatically since the start of March.

While the industry has restarted in recent times, there have already been setbacks.

A crew member on a ship in the Pacific tested positive for the virus on Sunday. The Paul Gauguin was forced to suspend its journey when the case was detected by the ship's doctor, local media report.

Passengers were then told to stay in their cabins as the ship turned back to Papeete on the island of Tahiti, where all on board are being tested.

Ahead of resuming its operations, Ponant, the company that runs the Paul Gauguin, had reassured customers in a blog post that it had strict regulations in place that "go further than the international standards for the sector".

But cruise companies are expecting strong bookings for 2021. They are reporting a combination of new bookings and people using vouchers they received for cancelled cruises this year.

"We absolutely believe when we come out of this we will lean into our repeat cruisers," Christine Duffy, the president of Carnival Cruise line, told Reuters news agency. "They really are the ambassadors for the cruise industry."

The captain and owners of The Liberty Belle riverboat were arrested by New York City deputy sheriffs on Saturday for holding a crowded cruise around the city, in defiance of coronavirus social distancing rules.

The boat, which boasts four bars, three outdoor decks and space for 600 guests, was used to host a party on the weekend with more than 170 guests on board.

Owners Ronny Vargas and Alex Suazo were arrested for violating local social distancing provisions and operating an unlicensed bar and bottle club, the sheriff's office said.

In New York - once the epicentre of the US coronavirus outbreak - new infections have plateaued, with an average of roughly 650 cases each day over the past week.

Here's the latest information on coronavirus in the UK, after nine more deaths were reported on Monday. That takes the total number of people who have died with the virus in the UK to 46,210.

The latest government figures also showed there were 938 new confirmed cases.

The family-run Drayton Manor theme park in England has gone into administration after being hit by Storm Denis and coronavirus.

The park in Staffordshire has been run by the Bryan family since opening in 1950. It is being taken over by the Looping Group, which runs a number of attractions in Europe.

The jobs of some 600 employees have been protected, administrators said.

Elsewhere in England, it was announced that Manchester's famous Belle Vue greyhound racing stadium will not reopen.

Operators said the coronavirus lockdown had a "particularly negative effect".

The stadium was built in 1926 and has also been used for speedway and stock car racing. All employees will be made redundant.

The oldest department store in the US, Lord & Taylor, filed for bankruptcy on Sunday, joining a growing list of iconic retailers to file for protection amid coronavirus shutdowns.

The collapse of the 194-year-old firm comes just weeks after two other department store chains - Neiman Marcus and JC Penney - did the same.

Lord & Taylor has about 40 stores across the US, many of which are in shopping malls.

The company's origins trace back to 1826 New York City when English immigrants Samuel Lord and George Washington Taylor opened a dry goods store in Manhattan. It was bought by clothing rental company Le Tote last year for about $100m (£57m).

At its peak, the chain was a bastion of high-end fashion.

The UK's biggest pantomime producer has said it has been "left with no choice" but to launch a consultation on whether its shows can go ahead this season.

Qdos had set a deadline of 3 August to decide whether its 34 shows - in cities from Bristol to Birmingham and Bradford - can take place amid the coronavirus pandemic.

In a statement, the company said it had been "very clear" that it required clarity from the government regarding the reopening of theatres by today, "in order for our pantomime season as we know it to take place".

The firm added: "Based on the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport’s reiteration last week that the government won’t be providing further guidance on theatres operating without social distancing until November at the earliest, we are left with no choice but to begin the consultation process with our partner theatres about the viability of each show. This is a complex process and will take several weeks to complete.

"We are not immediately announcing the postponement of all shows, however plans will be announced by individual theatres and communicated to ticket holders in due course."

The warning comes a month after theatres including Norwich Theatre Royal became the first to cancel their pantomimes.
