BBC World Service - Newsday, Lockdown to be eased in Hong Kong

From today Hong Kong is easing some social distancing measures as coronavirus cases in the territory have remained low.   Now the current four-person limit on gatherings in restaurants and public places will be expanded to no more than eight people.

In Europe, this week could be seen as a turning point for the battle against the coronavirus. France, Spain, Germany and Italy are among the European countries to have started lifting their lockdowns. UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson will address the nation on Sunday to outline what restrictions might be lifted.
