The coronavirus has infected almost 5.5 million people across the world and killed more than 346,000, according to a tally kept by Johns Hopkins University.
Here are the latest updates on the pandemic from around the world:
ESTONIA
Estonia has started piloting a digital immunity passport that enables people to share their Covid-19 status with a third party, such as an employer or authorities.
The ImmunityPass mobile and web application collects coronavirus testing data.
It has been created by a non-government organisation supported by Estonian start-up entrepreneurs and medical officials.
The World Health Organisation has warned against issuing such immunity passports to people who have recovered from coronavirus because there is no evidence they are protected from a second infection.
GREECE
Greece will reduce prices for ferry tickets from the mainland to the Greek islands on June 1, with a sales tax cut aimed at stimulating domestic tourism.
Giannis Plakiotakis, the merchant marine minister, says the sales tax rate on ferry tickets will be lowered from 24% to 13%.
Ferry travel was opened yesterday with strict capacity limits and distancing guidelines.
Greece will open for international tourism on June 15.
BRAZIL
Brazil's Federal Police have raided the official residence of Rio de Janeiro Governor Wilson Witzel to carry out searches as part of an investigation into the embezzlement of public resources in the state's response to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Police did not say whether Witzel, a former federal judge, was personally targeted by any of the 12 search and seizure warrants in Rio and Sao Paulo states.
An ongoing investigation at state level has pointed to irregularities in the contracts awarded for the construction of emergency field hospitals in Rio, and also involved health officials, police said in a statement.
FRANCE
French president Emmanuel Macron is to unveil new measures to rescue the country's car industry, which has been hammered by the virus lockdown and the resulting recession.
He tweeted that the government's support for the national car industry, which includes brands like Peugeot-Citroen and Renault as well as parts suppliers, will increase "massively".
"This is a part of our economy, thousands of jobs," he said.
Mr Macron is meeting car-makers and unions at the Elysee presidential palace tihs morning.
He will then visit supplier Valeo, which makes equipment for electric cars, at its factory in Etaples, in northern France, from where he will detail the rescue plan.
Car sales in France fell by about 90% in April compared with a year earlier as showrooms were shut and factories suspended production.
The country started easing restrictions since May 11 after two months of strict lockdowns.
MONTENEGRO
The first European country to declare itself free of the coronavirus infection, plans to open its borders to citizens of several European countries - except for former ally Serbia.
Announcing the decision, Montenegro's prime minister said borders will be opened as of June 1 for nationals of the countries that meet the entry criteria of the small country's health authorities - to currently have at most 25 Covid-19 patients per 100.000 inhabitants.
Premier Dusko Markovic said the states that meet the criteria are Croatia, Slovenia, Austria, Germany, Poland, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Albania and Greece.
Mr Markovic did not mention neighbouring Serbia, triggering an angry rebuke from Belgrade - even though Serbia is not saying it meets Montenegro's entry criteria.
SPAIN
The foreign minister has said European Union members should agree to a common approach to open borders, re-establish freedom of travel in the Schengen Area and define which countries outside it should be considered safe to travel from and to.
Arancha Gonzalez Laya told Spanish radio that restarting cross-border travel should be decided collectively even if countries in the EU are phasing out lockdowns at different dates.
The minister said that Spain is eager to welcome tourists to shore up an industry that amounts to 12% of the country's GDP but that it plans to do it with "health, sustainability and safety."
RUSSIA
The government has reported a record daily spike of 174 deaths, bringing the country's death toll to 3,807.
Russia's coronavirus caseload surpassed 360,000 today, with almost 9,000 new infections registered in the past 24 hours.
The country's comparatively low mortality rate raises questions among experts both in Russia and in the West, with some suggesting the government may be manipulating the statistics and under-reporting virus-related deaths.
Russian officials vehemently deny the allegations and attribute the low numbers to the effectiveness of the measures taken to curb the spread of the outbreak.
INDIA
For a seventh consecutive day, India has reported its biggest jump in coronavirus cases.
The country's health ministry reported 145,380 new infections, an increase of 6,535 from the day before, and 4,167 deaths.
Officials say the recovery rate has also risen above 40%.
Most of the cases are concentrated in two neighbouring states in central India, Maharashtra, home to financial hub Mumbai, and Gujarat, Prime Minister Narendra Modi's home state.
An uptick in cases has also been reported in some of India's poorest eastern states as migrant workers returning to native villages from India's largest cities have begun arriving home on special trains.
India's virus caseload has been climbing as pandemic lockdown restrictions have eased. Domestic flights resumed on Monday after a two-month hiatus, though at a fraction of normal capacity.
AUSTRALIA
Tensions are rising between federal and state leaders over differing approaches to lifting pandemic restrictions.
Australia recorded nine new coronavirus cases in the latest 24-hour period. The nation has reported 7,118 infections, and 102 deaths.
Nearby neighbour New Zealand has had similar success in slowing the virus spread. New Zealand has gone four days without detecting a new infection and has recorded a single new case in the past week.
New Zealand has treated 1,504 cases, including 21 deaths.
Australia's population is five times larger than New Zealand's five million people.
PHILIPPINES
President Rodrigo Duterte has ordered about 24,000 workers who have lost their jobs abroad due to the Covid-19 pandemic to be transported by land, sea or air to their homes, and warned local officials not to refuse them entry.
The workers returned to the country in recent months but had to undergo two weeks of quarantine in hospitals, hotels and makeshift isolation centres in metropolitan Manila in a chaotic situation that delayed their trip home and sparked a myriad of complaints.
Some had to wait weeks to be tested for the coronavirus and receive results.
Mr Duterte said in televised remarks that some provincial officials have refused entry to returning workers from abroad as a precaution and warned them of possible lawsuits.
Authorities have been scrambling to unclog quarantine facilities in the capital with about 300,000 more displaced Filipino workers slated to come home soon.
"I'm ordering you to accept them, open the gates of your territories," Mr Duterte said. "Do not impede it. Do not obstruct the movement of people, because you run the risk of getting sued criminally."
CHINA
Authorities have reported seven new coronavirus cases, all brought into the country by Chinese citizens returning from abroad.
Just 81 patients remain in hospital with Covid-19, and another 408 are in isolation and being monitored for either suspected cases or after testing positive for the virus without showing any symptoms. China has reported a total of 4,634 deaths from the disease among 82,992 cases.
With the decline in numbers, students have gradually returned to class and some international schools in the capital Beijing are preparing to re-open on June 1.
China is proceeding this week with the annual session of its ceremonial parliament, which is being held under social distancing restrictions.
UNITED STATES
A ban on foreign travellers arriving in the US from Brazil due to the surge in coronavirus cases there will now take effect late today, two days earlier than previously announced.
The ban had been set to go into effect late on Thursday May 28. The White House announced the change yesterday without explanation.
Brazil is second to the US in the number of confirmed Covid-19 cases, according to a tally from Johns Hopkins University, and has seen cases surge in recent days.
The White House cited Brazil's status as Latin America's hardest-hit country on Sunday when it announced the ban, saying it would prevent additional infections in the US.
