A further 6,874 UK Covid-19 cases have been reported in the last 24 hours, with 34 deaths but the government says this does not including Scotland due to a power outage at National Records of Scotland.

New restrictions are announced in Leeds, where the city council reported a "steep rise" in infections on Thursday.

Two of Wales' biggest cities - Cardiff and Swansea - will go into lockdown from 18:00 BST on Sunday.

London is at a "very worrying tipping point" amid a resurgence of Covid-19, the mayor has warned.

In Madrid, over a million people will be under local lockdown restrictions from Monday as curbs are extended.

More than 32 million virus cases have been confirmed globally with nearly 984,000 deaths, according to Johns Hopkins University.

More than a quarter of the UK population is set to be under coronavirus lockdown rules, as new measures come into force this weekend.

From Saturday in England, households in Leeds, Wigan, Stockport and Blackpool will be banned from mixing in each other's homes or gardens.

In Wales, Llanelli will be subject to new rules from 18:00 BST, with Cardiff and Swansea following 24 hours later.

It comes as the rate at which the virus is spreading appears to be speeding up.

The R number - which indicates how many people someone with coronavirus infects - has risen in the last week and now stands at 1.2 to 1.5. A number above 1 means the virus is spreading within the community.

Meanwhile, the daily number of confirmed Covid-19 cases in the UK reached a record high of 6,874, government figures on Friday showed.

Plastic bubbles were set up on the sidewalk next to Café du Soleil in New York City to protect customers from the spread of COVID-19 and shelter diners from cold and rain.

You know what Mr Corona said to Mrs Corona, "People love us, because they love to sin (party)"

I'm beginning to find it a little depressing tbh. I was at the local supermarket earlier with the wife and found myself getting a little aeriated towards people who were not covering their nose or in some cases their mouth with said masks and the wife reminded me in no uncertain manner that I was no longer an LEO and if I couldn't restrain myself I should go and wait in the car outside

Police have clashed with demonstrators at a rally in London protesting the latest coronavirus restrictions.

Police officers used batons to control the crowd, after bottles and water were thrown by demonstrators massed in Trafalgar Square.

At least three protesters and one officer were treated by medical staff.

The Met Police said the protest was being shut down because the crowd was not complying with social distancing rules and warned fines would be issued.

Thousands had gathered in central London to protest against the latest government rules, with very few wearing masks.

Hopefully this is not the beginning of something much bigger but I suspect it may well be.

I have tried to search for this specific information on Facemask in general.

A few days ago i ran into a comment where someone wrote.

(from memory)

The government is playing tricks with you, these facemask is nothing than false safety. The holes in these mask is 30 nm wide, while the Corona virus is 10 nm wide..yes the corona has no problem passing through the bigger hole in the facemask.

He didn't mentioned any specific mask.

What size does different mask have where air can get through ?

Is it 30 nm wide on these surgical mask ?

Thank you...now I only need confirmation on the size of the holes in these mask and if the size of the Corona virus is 10 nm.

Beside, A friend posted this some hrs ago on his wall

Used translate
"The citizens of Denmark seems gradually divided ..... Some are calling for tougher restrictions and closure, others are against restrictions and do not trust the authorities.
Some is running around acting like little Corona cops, while others just shrug their shoulders and take it easy.
Some believe the whole thing is a great worldwide lie, which should lead to a great totalitarian state.

Personally, I am just confused, and see the Corona debate from many angles.
How do we get on from where we are now ?"
