Brazil on Friday set new record in daily COVID-19 infections, while more European countries eased their lockdowns with an overall downward trend in new COVID-19 occurrences.

There had been 5,819,962 confirmed cases of COVID-19 globally, with 362,786 deaths, as of 18:30 CEST, Saturday, according to the latest data released by the World Health Organization (WHO).

Italy has geared up for the end of domestic travel restrictions next week as COVID-19 hospitalizations remained a positive trend for the hard-hit Mediterranean nation.

Italians expected to take holiday trips, visit distant friends and family, or relocate to their summer homes, beginning on June 3.

Under terms of a national lockdown that went into effect on March 10 and subsequent decrees that progressively relaxed the restrictions, Italians are forbidden from traveling across the borders of the country's 20 regions until June 2.
