Spain's daily death toll from coronavirus rises to 585 on Friday

Spain's overnight death toll from coronavirus rose to 585, up from 551 on Thursday but still far off figures of over 900 registered during the peak of the outbreak in early April.

It was unclear why the difference in the government's death toll from Thursday and Friday did not reflect the overnight death rate.

The number of overall coronavirus cases rose to 188,068 on Friday from 182,816 on Thursday, a 2.9 percent increase.

Germany's coronavirus outbreak 'manageable again' - health minister

The coronavirus outbreak in Germany has become manageable again as the number of patients who have made a recovery has been higher than the number of new infections every day this week, Health Minister Jens Spahn said.

Chancellor Angela Merkel said on Wednesday Germany would take small steps out of lockdown with the partial reopening of shops next week and schools from May 4.

"The outbreak has - as of today - become controllable and manageable again," Spahn told a news conference, adding that the health care system had "at no time been overwhelmed so far".

London mayor calls for compulsory face masks on transport

London Mayor Sadiq Khan called on the British government to make face masks compulsory for people travelling around the capital or shopping.

The mayor said evidence from around the world showed that face coverings help stop the spread of the virus.

New York has ordered residents to wear masks or substitute face coverings when in any public situation that may not allow them to be at least six feet away from others.

"In those circumstances where its not possible for us to keep our social distance, think of public transport usage, think of when you're in a shop, we should be using non-medical facial coverings like bandandas, like scarves, like reusable masks," Khan told the BBC.

Singapore reports 728 new coronavirus cases

Singapore has reported 728 new coronavirus cases, a record daily high for a second straight day that was broadly expected amid increased testing in dormitories housing foreign workers.

The health ministry said foreign workers accounted for 90 percent of the new cases, with five new clusters reported in the crowded dormitories housing up to 20 men in each room with shared facilities. It said the sharp rise in cases pushed total infections past the 4,000 mark to 4,427.

44 deportees from US positive of coronavirus

At least 44 of the 76 Guatemalans deported on one flight from the US this week have tested positive for coronavirus, a Guatemalan government official with knowledge of the situation said, amid rising rejection of deportees due to virus fears.

Later, Guatemala Minister of Foreign Affairs Pedro Brolo told AP news agency that the government had again suspended deportation flights. He did not explain why, but said the move was temporary.

Trudeau says Canada's restrictions with US to remain

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has announced that the country's border restrictions with the US will remain in place "for a significant amount of time" as the two countries fight the coronavirus outbreak.

Washington and Ottawa agreed last month to clamp down on non-essential travel while allowing trade to continue across their lengthy shared frontier.

"As we move forward, there will be special thought given to this relationship. But at the same time we know that there is a significant amount of time, still, before we can talk about loosening such restrictions," Trudeau told a daily briefing.

China on Friday denied Western suggestions it had covered up the extent of its coronavirus outbreak and rejected US allegations it has an overly cozy relationship with the World Health Organization

Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian acknowledged the virus's rapid spread contributed to undercounting that resulted in China raising its death toll, but added "there has never been any concealment, and we'll never allow any concealment".

The allegations China is too close to the WHO were an attempt at "smearing" Beijing, Zhao said. US President Donald Trump suspended funding to the WHO this week citing the accusation.
