Italy on Sunday reported 368 new deaths as the country's death toll hit more than 1,800 and the number of confirmed cases rose to almost 25,000.

Leading medical experts in the UK have warned that up to 80% of the UK will be infected with coronavirus and the pandemic could last for a year. As many as 7.9 million people could be hospitalized due to the virus, they said. Thirty-five people have died in the UK from coronavirus and there are now nearly 1,400 confirmed cases.

France on Sunday confirmed more than 5,400 cases, up more than 900 cases in one day, the biggest single-day tally since the virus was detected in the country early this year. 127 people in France have died from COVID-19.

Germany on Sunday closed its borders with France, Switzerland, Denmark, Austria and Luxemburg to prevent the further spread of Covid 19. Germany has reported 5,000 infections and 10 deaths.
