France

Masked Parisian statues are helping spread a health message as France is set to enter its last week of strict confinement rules amid a coronavirus crisis.

Along the Trocadero esplanade, across the Seine from the Eiffel Tower, statues were on Sunday wearing masks across their mouths and noses as the city, usually crowded with tourists, stood silent.

Russia

Russia has recorded its highest daily rise in confirmed coronavirus cases with 10,633 new infections, bringing the total to 134,687, with more than half of cases and deaths in Moscow.

But the mortality rate has slowed in recent days and remains much lower, in relative terms, than many other countries.

Russia has said its lower mortality rate was because the Russian outbreak occurred later than in many other countries which gave the authorities more time to prepare.

Russia's nationwide death toll rose to 1280 on Sunday after 58 people died in the last 24 hours, Russia's coronavirus crisis response centre said on its website.

Italy

Deaths from the COVID-19 epidemic in Italy climbed by 174 on Sunday, against 474 the day before, the smallest daily toll of fatalities since March 10.

The daily number of new cases also declined sharply to 1389 from 1900 on Saturday.

In recent weeks of the epidemic that emerged in Italy on February 21, the daily death count has tended to fall on Sundays only to rise again the following day.

Pope Francis on Sunday called for transparent and impartial international scientific cooperation to discover a vaccine for the coronavirus and said it should be made accessible around the world when found.

"It is important to unite scientific capabilities, in a transparent and impartial way to find vaccines and treatments," he said.

Francis said it was also important to "guarantee universal access to essential technologies that allow each infected person, in every part of the world, to receive the necessary medical treatment".

Turkey

The number of people who have died from COVID-19 in Turkey has risen by 61 in the last 24 hours to 3397.

The overall number of cases rose by 1670 to 126,045, the data showed, the highest total outside Western Europe, the United States and Russia.

Spain

Spaniards revelled in a second day of freedom, heading outside in time-slots for age groups on the first weekend adults were allowed out since one of the world's strictest coronavirus lockdowns was imposed in mid-March.
