Britain said on Sunday it had recorded 2,988 new daily coronavirus cases, up from 1,813 on Saturday to the highest level since May 23.
The number of fatalities, however, remained at a low level, with two reported deaths within 28 days of a positive COVID-19 test in the previous 24 hours, government data showed.

Here’s what you need to know about the coronavirus right now:
Surging infections in India
India’s coronavirus infections surged past 4.2 million on Monday as it overtook Brazil to become the country with the second-highest number of cases.
India, with a daily record 90,802 cases on Monday, also has the fastest-growing case load. The United States, with more than 6 million cases, remains the worst-affected country.
Deaths in India have been relatively low so far, but it has posted more than 1,000 deaths for each of the last five days. On Monday, India’s health ministry said 1,016 people died of COVID-19, taking total mortalities to 71,642.
Sinovac employees and families administered vaccine
About 90% of Sinovac Biotech Ltd employees and their families have taken an experimental coronavirus vaccine developed by the Chinese firm under the country’s emergency use programme, its chief executive said on Sunday.
The extent of inoculations under the emergency programme, which China launched in July but has released few details about, points to how actively it is using experimental vaccines in the hopes of protecting essential workers against a potential COVID-19 resurgence, even as trials are still underway.
Sinovac, whose CoronaVac is in Phase 3 clinical trials and has been included in the emergency scheme, offered the candidate vaccine to approximately 2,000 to 3,000 employees and their families on a voluntary basis, CEO Yin Weidong, who with his wife and parents has been inoculated, told Reuters.
Australian firm announces vaccine manufacturing plans
Australian biotech giant CSL Ltd said on Monday it would manufacture two different COVID-19 vaccine candidates, with the earliest doses due to reach the market early next year, sending its shares nearly 3% higher.
CSL said it expects to supply 30 million doses of a vaccine being developed by AstraZeneca and Oxford University to the Australian government if trials prove successful, with the first doses to be available in early 2021.
The company also said it had agreed with the Australian government to manufacture and supply 51 million doses of its own vaccine being developed with the University of Queensland, with mid-2021 likely the earliest the vaccine will be delivered.
Wuhan seafood market still closed
The Huanan seafood market in the Chinese city of Wuhan, believed by many to be the origin of the COVID-19 pandemic, is sealed behind a blue perimeter fence. A large team of security staff chases away anyone who lingers.
Foreign journalists were invited on an official tour to report on Wuhan’s efforts to rebuild its economy after the months-long trauma of COVID-19. The official message: the “heroic city” is back to normal and back in business, its schools and tourist sites reopened and its enterprises running at full capacity.
China rejects conspiracy theories surrounding the coronavirus, including claims without evidence that a specialist virology institute in Wuhan manufactured it. But many unanswered questions remain about the origins of COVID-19 and the role played by the trade in exotic wildlife in Wuhan.

This persistent heatwave does not look like it will be letting up anytime soon and return to the usual for the island seasonal temperatures of 36°C.
However, today we are expected to have a short break of about 24 hours in the unprecedented weather conditions that have prevailed since last week.
This is because temperatures are not expected to exceed 40°C as was the case last week and as is expected to happen in the coming days.
According to the Meteorological Service the highest temperature expected today during the day is 39°C.
However, the hot air mass affecting the area will cause temperatures that may rise above 40°C both tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
Today the weather is expected to be mainly fine with temperatures set to rise to 39°C inland, 33°C in the south and east coasts, and 31°C in the mountains and all other coasts.
Winds will be weak in the morning, three Beaufort, to gradually turn south-westerly to north-westerly, weak to moderate, three to four Beaufort, over slightly rough seas.
On Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday the weather will be mainly fine and temperatures are expected to be noticeably higher than today’s and considerably higher than average climatic values usually clocking around 36°C inland and in the mountains.
Due to the increased temperatures recorded on the island in recent days, all state services in charge of fire fighting including the Fire Department and the Forestry Department are on high alert.
The same level of readiness is observed at the Labour Inspection Department which, since the middle of last week, has its inspectors out and about to ensure that the safety measures imposed and provided by the relevant legislation are observed so as to not endanger employees working in outdoor areas.

British High Commissioner Stephen Lillie and Lieutenant Junior Grade Anastasios Paraskevopoulos from the Larnaca Joint Rescue and Coordination Centre (JRCC) paid tribute to the close working relationship between the UK and Cyprus after a successful search and rescue exercise off the coast of Limassol today.
The exercise, which was led by the Larnaca JRCC saw assets from Cyprus’ Police Aviation Unit, the UK’s HMS ENTERPRISE and the British Bases’ 84 Squadron – with a member of the Cyprus Navy on board – simulate a joint rescue of a missing person and the evacuation of an injured crew member from aboard a ship.
HMS ENTERPRISE is a multi-role survey vessel which has recently returned to Limassol having been deployed to Beirut immediately after the recent deadly explosion in the port.
She operated alongside the Lebanese Navy Hydrographic Service to conduct a survey of the approaches to the port.
Speaking after the exercise, the British High Commissioner said: “Such exercises are vital for maintaining our search and rescue preparedness and an excellent opportunity to bring our nations together in training. We value our long-running cooperation with Cyprus in both SAR and crisis response, and we look forward to continuing to work together, including through live exercises, to the benefit of both our countries and the wider region”.
Commander of the Cyprus British Forces Major General Rob Thomson, pointed to the importance of that working relationship saying that “today’s exercise further strengthens an already close working relationship between our two nations. Our crew from RAF Akrotiri’s 84 Squadron have worked successfully alongside their colleagues in the Republic of Cyprus on an almost daily basis, fighting fires during this very busy summer period. To be able to utilise the capabilities of HMS Enterprise whilst it is moored in Cyprus was also an opportunity too good to miss”.
“We will do this together” Major General Thomson added in Greek.
Commanding Officer of HMS ENTERPRISE, Commander Cecil James Ladislaus, added: “Having been deployed across the globe this year, the importance of working with our international partners cannot be understated. At the start of this year, we needed to conduct a casualty evacuation using helicopter support. This sort of thing could happen to any mariner, anytime, anywhere – it is in our best interests to train and work together like this to ensure that we are ready should the unexpected occur”.
Officer Commanding of 84 Squadron, Squadron Leader Alan Ross, said: “Lives can depend on how well we work together, so it is important to get it right first time. That is why we train in complex and difficult environments at a national level”.
JRCC Operations Department Officer, Lt Jr Gr Anastasios Paraskevopoulos, said: “JRCC consider planning and executing joint exercises with aeronautical assets in the Nicosia FIR as very important. This kind of exercise contributes to enhance even more the existing excellent cooperation with the Royal Navy and Air Force, 84 SAR Sq, and it is a great opportunity for all participants to share knowledge and experience in SAR matters”.
Bilateral cooperation between the UK and Cyprus on SAR incidents and tackling natural disasters has strengthened over the years.
With the cancellation of Argonaut as a result of Covid-19, today’s exercise was the first UK–Cyprus exercise of 2020.
It is expected that more joint SAR exercises will take place later in the year.

The Health Ministry on Monday warned that 5-mg Ulipristal acetate which is used for the treatment of symptoms of uterine fibroids can cause liver injury – including the need for liver transplantation.
That’s why PRAC has therefore recommended the revocation of the marketing authorisations of these medicines – Esmya and generic ones.
“The PRAC considered all the available evidence in its review, including reported cases of serious liver injury. Patient and healthcare professional representatives, including experts in gynaecology, were also consulted,” the announcement said.
“Since it was not possible to identify which patients were most at risk or measures that could reduce the risk, the PRAC concluded that the risks of these medicines outweighed their benefits and that they should not be marketed in the EU,” it added.
The use of 5-mg ulipristal acetate medicines for uterine fibroids had already been suspended as a precautionary measure while awaiting the outcome of this review, it also said.
Moreover, ulipristal acetate is also authorised as a single-dose medicine for emergency contraception.
This recommendation does not affect the single-dose ulipristal acetate emergency contraceptive (ellaOne and other trade names) and there is no concern about liver injury with these medicines.
The PRAC recommendation will now be forwarded to EMA’s human medicines committee (CHMP), which will adopt the Agency’s opinion.
Cyprus Mail 6 September 2020

Summer 2020, and the Kritou Terra waterfalls have become the essential Instagram post during a year when we were all stuck in Cyprus and desperately looking for somewhere different to go.
Thousands of visitors have flocked to the tiny Paphos village to experience and be seen at the two Kremmiotis waterfalls.
Community leader Dervis Charalambous told the Sunday Mail there were even some days in August when a thousand cars drove to the waterfalls using one of the access roads and a further 500 used the road from Polis.
This all led to logistical and safety issues.
Public access was made easier to the first waterfall in 2014. For that, read a road suitable for cars and dotted with picnic tables and barbecue pits. Since then, what had been a secret idyll known only to locals became increasingly popular. A nature trail to the second was cleared a few years later and fame quickly followed.
Then, this year, a tsunami of visitors.
But this meant that was intended to be an extra attraction for a picturesque, historic village with plenty of attractions already has become a victim of its own success.
People have flocked to the cool, green-covered upper pool, where it’s possible to have a dip, followed by a trek down the trail to the moss-coated rocks of the second. This has a small cave-like tunnel carved into the rock and leads from one side to the other which visitors can crawl through.
“It was created by a man named Savvas Michael, who wanted to fetch water from one side to the other to water his fields. Now it’s famous with everyone. People must be careful here and act properly,” said Andreas Achilleous, the village vice president.
Charalambous said that the huge increase in traffic has led to a number of safety issues being brought to the fore, in particular, the danger that fires could pose to the public.
This was highlighted by a recent fire in the area, which thankfully occurred away from the waterfalls, he said, as that could have been disastrous. The council has already placed warning signs along the route.
“It is very dangerous if a fire breaks out, and we have all of these people visiting the waterfalls here. It is quite difficult to get out of this spot and near the river, it would be impossible for people to exit the area quickly,” he said.
The community council has also placed a meter on the road leading to the falls to measure traffic flows accurately.
Charalambous said that it is hard to cope without the support of the state and the authorities.
“I have told the president that we need some money to improve things in the area, for example we have two roads leading to the waterfalls, and there is a river in the middle. We need to connect them by a bridge, but it would be difficult as the river is high and it would be costly,” he said.
The project would cost in excess of around 100,000 euros he said.
“We just don’t have the money and I am hoping that we can get some help from the state,” he said.
Meanwhile the village has been left overwhelmed if happy with its new-found fame. Along with the waterfalls, the village is home to the island’s first casino built in 1878 and is the birthplace of the 18th century dragoman Hadjigeorgaki Kornesios, whose childhood home is still there. The 16th century Ayia Katerini church and the 12th century Ayia Paraskevi church are added attractions.
“We have had thousands of visitors this year and this has helped the local economy, but we have been so very busy and most of the residents here are elderly and over the age of 70,” said Charalambous.
With the visitors have also come tonnes of rubbish left around the waterfall area, he said.
There is no-one else to clean the area so Charalambous takes a truck and clears the rubbish himself.
“There is no-one to help me and it’s been a big problem,” he said.
While the village has largely welcomed its time in the spotlight, some residents are saddened by the loss of what was once a little-known spot.
“I remember taking my family with a picnic and scrambling down a tiny path choked with weeds to get to the falls. We would be the only ones there,” said Nicoletta Pavlidou who has a holiday home in the area. “But once they built the road and widened the pool, we knew it was only a matter of time before the crowds came.”

Researchers in Costa Rica are to begin clinical trials of a cheap treatment against coronavirus, based on antibodies taken from horses, injected with the SARS-Cov-2 virus, which causes COVID-19 disease, according to scientists.
Prepared by the Clodomiro Picado Institute at the University of Costa Rica, horse antibody therapy is to be tested on 26 patients by mid-September, Roman Makaya, the president of the Social Security Fund, which manages public health centers, told Reuters.
Costa Rican authorities hope to be able to start implementing treatment more widely in hospitals if the results of the second phase of the study are encouraging. In Costa Rica hospitals 471 patients are hospitalized with COVID-19 .
"We are proud to know that this product will save lives until the vaccine reaches the population. We do it with our own sources, without having to wait in line or compete with other countries, as seems to be the case with potential vaccines," said Alberto Alape, a coordinator of this research project at the Institute.
Similar efforts are also underway in Argentina and Brazil, while in Belgium scientists use llamas.
Researchers in Costa Rica argue that their method of treating COVID-19 is based on the experience of using horse antibodies to manufacture antiophical serums.
The researchers introduced the protein from China and the UK and injected it into six of the 110 horses that the Institute uses in the tests. Weeks later, when the animals developed several antibodies, they took blood from the horses and used the antibodies from the plasma as a raw material for the injectable serum.
If this method succeeds, researchers say they want to share this cheap treatment with other Central American states, most of which are poorer than Costa Rica.
