Staying in Australia for the time being, the National Rugby League has postponed a match between Canterbury and the Sydney Roosters following a coronavirus scare.

AAP reports that Canterbury forward Aiden Tolman was notified on Saturday night a teacher at his child’s school had tested positive to the virus.

The Laguna Street public school in Sydney’s south has been closed until 25 June, with a warning there’s a possibility children may have brought the virus home.

In Australia, the Premier of the state of Victoria has announced that restrictions will be eased further from midnight on 21 June – more on this shortly.

Hi, Helen Sullivan here in cold, wet Sydney. Cockatoos are making a fuss in the trees outside, there is a small, white dog asleep beside me and I’m on the blog.

The world is anxiously watching Beijing, after a new cluster of locally transmitted cases emerged 55 days after the last known locally transmitted case in the city, which had almost returned to normal life.

Meanwhile Brazil’s death toll, currently at 42,720, overtook the UK’s to become the second-worst worldwide. The country also has the second-highest number of cases, with 850,514 known infections.

Here are the latest developments from around the world:

• Parts of Beijing have reimposed lockdown measures, after a cluster of locally transmitted coronavirus cases emerged nearly two months after the Chinese capital appeared to have stamped out the virus. The outbreak, linked to a major wholesale food market, raised serious questions about the challenges of keeping the disease at bay, even in countries such as China where authoritarian rule allows harsh containment regulations and invasive tracing systems.
• Egypt saw a record daily rise in infections and deaths, as it confirmed 1,677 new coronavirus cases and 62 deaths on Saturday. In total, the Arab world’s most populous country has registered 42,980 cases including 1,484 deaths, the ministry said in a statement.
• Infections in Turkey have been increasing since travel restrictions were lifted and facilities reopened at the beginning of the month.
• Israel has noted a spike in coronavirus cases as schools, businesses, restaurants, bars, tourist attractions and other establishments reopen, leading to 177 schools and educational institutions throughout the country closing again after 493 students and teachers tested positive for the virus.
• France reported 24 new coronavirus deaths over the 24 hours to Saturday, taking the total to 29,398 and marking the fourth day with under 30 fatalities.
• The president of Iran, Hassan Rouhani, reproached citizens on Saturday for their reduced adherence to health measures designed to stop the spread of coronavirus.
• Algeria will further relax its coronavirus lockdown on Sunday, easing a curfew, allowing public transport to resume in the cities and reopening some more businesses, the government said on Saturday.
• Travellers from Germany, Iceland and Norway are to be permitted to enter Denmark from Monday as long as they have booked accommodation for at least six nights, as the country gradually lifts its coronavirus-related travel restrictions.
• Lebanese protesters took to the streets in Beirut and other cities on Saturday in mostly peaceful protests against the government, calling for its resignation as the small country sinks deeper into economic distress amid lockdown restrictions.
