Global governments are still walking a tightrope between easing coronavirus lockdowns to revive economic growth, and controlling any resurgence of Covid-19. Some countries are reporting a surge in new cases, even after halting the virus last spring.
New York will reopen gyms and NYC museums, with capacity limits; the U.K. will begin sending Covid-19 contract tracers door to door. Germany has ruled out any further easing of coronavirus restrictions after a recent surge in new cases, while Greece and Ireland have moved to tighten lockdown rules. South Korea banned large gatherings in Seoul to halt an infection flareup there.
All times are Eastern and subject to change.
