Beauty salons, spas, tattoo parlours and nail bars in England are welcoming back their first clients for almost four months. In Scotland, indoor shopping centres are able to reopen  -  with mandatory face masks for all - hospitals can welcome visitors, and young people can play outdoor contact sports. In Wales, pubs, bars and restaurants can start serving customers outdoors, while hairdressers can also reopen. 

The latest stage in lockdown easing comes as Health Secretary Matt Hancock says "targeted action" is being taken against more than 100 local outbreaks every week. Factories, hospitals and other workplaces have been shut down and, in Herefordshire, a farm has been put into lockdown. It's also two weeks since Leicester was put under fresh restrictions - they're expected to be reviewed this week. 

As with other sectors of the economy, businesses reopening today must put infection reduction measures in place, and some beauty treatments, such as eyebrow threading, are still banned. That's left many salons unable to operate, much to the anger of their owners, who feel the rules are inconsistent. Read those rules in full.

The World Health Organization says Sunday saw a record daily increase in global coronavirus cases, with more than 230,000 new infections. Most were in the Americas, with Mexico now fourth in the list of countries with the most deaths, surpassing Italy.

In the US, Florida set a state record for cases on Sunday, with 15,299 new infections registered. That's far higher than the worst daily rates seen in New York in April. Florida has proved vulnerable due to tourism and an elderly population, but has continued to press ahead with lockdown easing - reopening Walt Disney World, for example - despite warnings from medical experts.

Elsewhere in the world, South Africa is taking action against its rising infection rate, including another ban on alcohol sales to take pressure off the healthcare system. It's the hardest-hit country on the continent, with more than 4,000 deaths.

More detail is expected today on the UK's new points-based immigration system. Much trailed during last year's general election - and widely promised by those championing Brexit - the idea is to replace the automatic right of EU citizens to live and work here with equal access to people of any nationality if they meet the criteria. 

The Home Office says it particularly wants to attract health and care workers, graduates and highly-skilled scientists or researchers. But Labour is warning the legislation is rushed and could cause major staffing difficulties for the NHS and care sector.

Meanwhile, the government is launching a series of adverts designed to help people prepare for the end of the post-Brexit transition period on 31 December. They'll give advice to travellers - for example on insurance and passport requirements - and to businesses, who'll face new procedures around import and export.

The ongoing debate over the wearing of masks makes several front pages. The Daily Mirror urges ministers to "clear up the muddle", describing it as "another area of confusion caused by this shambolic government". "Get a grip" agrees the Metro. The Daily Telegraph is happy masks aren't compulsory because that might lead people to think they're "life preserving" like crash helmets and seat belts. The Daily Mail, though, thinks change is coming. It reports the government has bought up capacity to produce five million face masks a week, as it prepares to make them a requirement in shops. The i, meanwhile, says peers plan to weigh in on the latest coronavirus legislation - only agreeing to a relaxation of the rules on serving food and drink on pavements if customers are banned from smoking in outdoor areas. Elsewhere, the Financial Times believes Boris Johnson is preparing to perform a U-turn over Huawei's involvement in the UK's 5G network. The Times says some Conservatives MPs want the Chinese firm out by 2024.

Intimacy co-coordinator Ita O'Brien choreographed the sex scenes for huge TV hits Normal People, Sex Education and I May Destroy You. She tells BBC Newsbeat how her job works. Diplomatic correspondent James Landale analyses the Huawei row and explains why 5G is the tip of the iceberg when it comes to strategic tensions with China.
