Later than usual let me bring you up to date with Monday's #Coronavirus news in the daily thread.

In the #UK, the devolved Welsh government has tightened restrictions just as England prepares to come out of lockdown.

Plenty of warning signs of a #Covid19 resurgence in Europe

I wait with interest data from #USA today after the holiday weekend.

We've had 4 days of significantly lower new cases of #Covid19 infections and no one really knows how things will be as things settle down.

Warnings from Europe come from #Germany & #Belgium

Germany's falls have slowed; they could be in danger of seeing cases rise again this week

Brussels has already announced a 2nd successive daily rise: 2,151 new #Covid19 cases today, the infection rate is up from 210 to 220 AD/M

Much better news from #Ukraine which has today announced a surprise 1,000 drop in new cases of #Covid19 to 9,946

It's biggest drop for weeks, but need more data this week to ensure it's not a blip

Also a small drop for #Russia compared to recent days with 26,338 new infections

#Hungary is now well in the grip of #Covid19 once again

Today sees a 2/3rds increase on last Monday's total with 5,595 new infections, up from 3335

#Georgia had been on the verge of a 1,000 AD/M infection rate but steps back today with a 700 fall in new cases to 3,216

Something very strange in #Poland

Yesterday an increase in positive rate despite fewer new infections. Today data totally at odds with anything we've seen before.

A fall from 15,002 new #Covid19 infections last Monday to 5,733 today

And just 2,000 fewer tests carried out

Little change in the Baltic States
#Estonia is up slightly with 256 new #Covid19 infections, from 232

But both #Lithuania and #Latvia register small falls. Lithuania down from 1192 to 1136
Latvia falls from 116 to 100

#Croatia may be past its peak infection!
A second daily drop for Europe's most infected nation

1,830 new #Covid19 infections, a fall from 1,973

Good news too for #Finland which also has a second successive fall in new cases of #Covid19

It's still precarious with the drop minimal from 297 to 283 but looking much better than this time last week.

#Switzerland and #Austria are still making good progress

8,782 new #Covid19 infections in Switzerland for the weekend, which is an average of 2,927 per day, another 10% fall on a week ago.

Austria with a slightly bigger % fall as cases fall from 3,145 to 2,748

Great relief in #Netherlands

A slight rise yesterday is countered by a bigger fall today. But it's clear the Dutch are not in total control anymore - and look unlikely to get the infection rate below 200 AD/M

4,568 new #Covid19 cases today (5,170 last Monday)

#Serbia is now Europe's most infected nation

The rise in the Balkans continues unabated, and tomorrow I am predicting a new record, and probably just reaching 8,000 new #Covid19 infections

Today 6,224 new cases, a 23% increase on last Monday

Another drop in new cases of #Covid19 for the #UK, but not quite as good or dramatic as yesterday

12,330 new infections, a fall of 3,000
The infection rate is down to 218

205 more deaths in UK today

#Italy passes 1.6m cases of #Covid19 with today's total of 16,377

That's a big drop from last Monday's 22,930

But 672 new deaths today which takes the 7-day avg daily death rate to over 730

#Portugal and #Greece continue to recover.

Portugal is more recently into its recovery, and falls almost 800 today to 3,262 new cases of #Covid19

The Greeks see a reduction of over 20% from 1,387 last Monday to 1,044 today

As we all knew, #Covid19 deaths in #Russia are way higher than admitted.

Another report from independent media says the official toll of just under 40,000 is only a half, or maybe a third of the real total

A slight rise again for #Ireland this evening.

No immediate concern, but it is quite a notable jump in new #Covid19 infections this evening from 252 last Monday to 306 today

#Turkey continues with its more realistic #Covid19 case numbers, and this evening a new record of 31,219.

However the attention now turns to the death count, which is much too low to be believable for this sort of case count.

#Spain has recorded 19,979 new cases of #Covid19 over the weekend.
That works out at 6,660 per day compared to over 8,600 the previous weekend.

Not such good news for #Balearics though, where infection rate's increased from 87/100k to 98

#France knocks off another 10% from new infections compared to late Monday.
New #Covid19 infections are down to 4005 from 4452.

406 more deaths today as well.

Good reduction in #Covid19 infections for #Cyprus today.

182 new cases, is a dip of more than 20% on last Monday's total.
