Spain, the world's second most visited country, has announced it will lift its two-week quarantine rule on arriving overseas visitors from 1 July.
Foreign Minister Arancha Gonzalez Laya said the "worst was behind us".
"In July we will gradually open Spain to international tourists, lift the quarantine, ensure the highest standards of health safety," she tweeted.
Earlier, Tourism Minister Reyes Maroto called on tourists to start booking holidays for July.
Earlier this month, EU officials promised that summer is not cancelled in Europe.
The ability of police to deliver the lockdown message may have been "damaged" by the Dominic Cummings case, says the acting crime and victims’ commissioner for Durham police.
The PM's chief adviser travelled 260 miles with his family to be near relatives when his wife developed Covid-19 symptoms.
Speaking on Radio 4's World at One, Steve White said: "I think if you lose the trust of people then, yes, it will be damaged. Policing works on trust."
Durham police have released a statement saying they intend to investigate other allegations. The Observer and Sunday Mirror said Mr Cummings did not stay indoors while in Durham and made another trip there after returning to London in April.
Mr White said he expected police to speak to Mr Cummings.
"I was a police officer for over 30 years so I know the resources that are available, I know the approach that would normally be taken in these circumstances which are a little bit extraordinary. Yes, of course, it's going to involve talking to people."
US President Donald Trump has threatened to move the 2020 Republican convention from North Carolina due to coronavirus restrictions there.
North Carolina is still in phase two of its reopening - large gatherings there are still not allowed.
Mr Trump said that Governor Roy Cooper could not guarantee that full attendance would be allowed at the venue in August.
He said that if he wasn't given an answer as to whether everyone could attend, he would move the convention elsewhere.
Mr Trump has been urging governors to open up their states for weeks now.
The death toll in the US is fast approaching 100,000.
The Palestinian government has announced it is ending a two-month lockdown to combat coronavirus in the occupied West Bank.
Palestinian PM Mohammed Shtayyeh said shops and businesses would be able to open as normal from Tuesday, while government employees would return to work on Wednesday after the Eid holiday.
Cafes and restaurants will also be reopened in the coming days, but with restrictions in place.
Mr Shtayyeh stressed the reopening would be done with caution. Three deaths and more than 400 cases of coronavirus have been recorded in the West Bank.
Germany’s flagship airline Lufthansa has agreed to a multi-billion-euro aid deal with the country’s government, as the company seeks to shore up its finances amid the coronavirus pandemic, reports say.
The agreement is expected to be approved on Monday by the government at a meeting of a committee tasked with managing the economic fallout of the pandemic.
Lufthansa's supervisory board is also due to meet to discuss the rescue package, believed to be worth around nine billion euros ($9.8bn; £8bn), AFP news agency reports.
Once approved, the deal will need to be signed off by the airline’s shareholders and the competition regulator, the European Commission.
Many of the world’s major airlines are experiencing financial woes during the pandemic, as travel restrictions place substantial curbs on travel.

A second suspected case of a mink transmitting the coronavirus to a human has been detected in the Netherlands, the country’s agriculture ministry has said.
The infection is believed to have happened at a mink-breeding farm where there had been a virus outbreak among the animals, it said.
“All possible measures are under consideration,” agriculture minister Carola Schouten wrote in a letter to parliament.
The minister said there was a “negligible” risk of animal-to-human transmission of the virus outside the mink farms.
Last week, the ministry said a farm worker was infected with a coronavirus strain that was genetically similar to one circulating among mink. Since then, vets have expressed concern and fear many of the animals may need to be culled.
Mink, semi-aquatic, carnivorous mammals, are raised for their fur.
The first cases of the coronavirus were linked to a market where wild animals were sold in the Chinese city of Wuhan. Most disease experts agree the virus was transmitted to humans by an animal, possibly a bat.
The PM's chief adviser Dominic Cummings is to make a public statement and take questions over allegations he broke coronavirus lockdown rules.
Mr Cummings is facing calls from Labour and some Tory MPs to quit or be fired.
He travelled 260 miles with his family to be near relatives when his wife developed Covid-19 symptoms.
Boris Johnson insists his aide acted legally and within guidelines - but critics say the government's lockdown message has been undermined.
The prime minister made a statement on Sunday in an attempt to draw a line under the row - but Conservative MPs have continued to call for Mr Cummings' dismissal.
Mr Cummings has been under fire since the Guardian and Daily Mirror reported that he had been seen in County Durham, at his family's farm during lockdown.

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe referred to his government's handling of the outbreak as a "Japan model" that achieved good results, before acknowledging some problems and delays.
It comes as the country lifted its nationwide state of emergency, ending restrictions in the remaining areas where the order was still in effect.
At a press conference, Mr Abe said: "We had very stringent criteria for lifting the state of emergency. We have judged that we have met this."
Japan has been easing restrictions since mid-May, but kept some areas, such as Tokyo, included, and kept them under watch to ensure the outbreak had been contained.
Speaking at a press conference, Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said she hoped Boris Johnson would reflect on his decision to back Dominic Cummings and "come to a different conclusion".
The BBC understands that the Prime Minister’s chief adviser, under fire over the lockdown rules, is expected to make a public statement and take questions later this afternoon.
It comes as he faces calls to resign.
UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has been criticised for taking no action over his special adviser Dominic Cummings driving 260 miles to his parents' estate in County Durham at the height of restrictions in March.
Durham police have now released a statement saying they intend to investigate other allegations. The Observer and Sunday Mirror said Cummings did not stay indoors while in Durham and made another trip there after returning to London in April.
Steve White, acting crime and victims’ commissioner for Durham police, said he was confident it had so far "responded proportionately and appropriately" but added: "It is clear, however, that there is a plethora of additional information circulating in the public domain which deserves appropriate examination.
"I have today written to the Chief Constable, asking her to establish the facts concerning any potential breach of the law or regulations... It is vital that the Force can show it has the interests of the people of County Durham and Darlington at its heart, so that the model of policing by consent, independent of government but answerable to the law, is maintained."
He said the issue had "become a major issue of public interest and trust".
Shadow health secretary Jonathan Ashworth said his inbox was full of emails "from constituents furious about Dominic Cummings and Boris Johnson's blase endorsement of his action".
"The hypocrisy stinks and people know it."
He then went on to share concerns raised by an intensive care doctor, before retweeting a letter which the prime minister sent to UK households, asking residents to stay at home.
Long queues and chaos greeted passengers at Indian airports as the country partially restarted domestic air travel after two months of coronavirus lockdown.
But dozens of flights were cancelled, leaving thousands of passengers stranded.
India has stepped up preventive measures ahead of resuming domestic flights.
At airports, passengers have their body temperatures scanned and security officials are checking that travellers have downloaded a compulsory government-backed tracing app.
Other measures include the disinfecting of shoes and luggage.
From ‘covidiots’ to ‘quarantine and chill’, the pandemic has led to many terms that help people laugh and commiserate.
While Brexit may be the closest parallel, the speed of the linguistic change we’re seeing with Covid-19 is unprecedented
Many of the newly popular terms relate to the socially distanced nature of human contact these days, such as ‘virtual happy hour’ and ‘covideo party’.
‘Corona’ has become a prefix, whether it's Polish speakers converting ‘coronavirus’ into a verb or English speakers wondering how ‘coronababies’ (the children born or conceived during the pandemic) will fare.
And, of course, there are abbreviations, like the ubiquitous ‘WFH’ and the life-saving ‘PPE’.
Iran has reopened its major Shia Muslim shrines - including those of Imam Reza in Mashhad and Hazrat Masumeh in Qom - two months after they were closed to help prevent the spread of Covid-19.
Worshippers and pilgrims will be allowed to access courtyards, but not porticoes and other covered areas. They will also be required comply with guidelines on hygiene and social distancing. The shrines will open one hour after dawn and close one hour before sunset, rather than stay open around the clock.
At the Shah Abdol Azim shrine in Tehran on Monday morning, visitors had to wear a mask, walk through a disinfection tunnel, and have their temperature checked, according to AFP news agency.
Health experts expressed alarm when the authorities did not close the shrines immediately after Qom emerged as the epicentre of Iran’s Covid-19 outbreak in mid-February.
The government has reported more than 135,000 cases of the disease and 7,400 deaths, although the actual figures are believed to be far higher.
The Prince of Wales has raised concerns about how orchestras and theatres will survive the coronavirus crisis.
Many theatres and concert halls are struggling after closing their doors during lockdown, with no clear indication of when shows might resume.
In an interview with Classic FM, Prince Charles said it was important to "find a way of keeping these orchestras and other arts bodies going".
"It's absolutely crucial that they can come back twice as enthusiastic as before," he said.
Zambia's Information Minister Dora Siliya says she publicly shared her Covid-19 test results to fight stigma associated with the respiratory illness caused by coronavirus.
She told BBC's Newsday programme that she was afraid the stigma would impede the fight against the virus like it did for HIV in Zambia.
Ms Siliya said she felt that if her test results had leaked it would undermine the fight against stigma.
The minister said some Zambians still don't believe Covid-19 is real.
She said behaviorial change has only been seen among the elite in the city, but those in rural areas still think coronavirus affects those who travel abroad.
Injured, jobless and unable to get home, Mohan Paswan feared he might starve after India announced its nationwide lockdown in March.
The auto-rickshaw driver had been recovering from an accident in Gurugram, a suburb of New Delhi but, with no income, he soon ran out of money to buy food and medicines.
But his 15-year-old daughter Jyoti Kumari had a plan - and the determination to pull it off.
With her disabled father on the back of her bike, Jyoti cycled 1,200km (745 miles) in just over a week to their village in eastern India.
Before the journey, which has earned Jyoti international praise, Mohan was sceptical the eighth-grade student would be able to manage the trip.
“But she convinced me. I’m so proud of her. She saved me. We would have died of hunger in Gurugram,” Mohan said.
Jyoti and Mohan are just two of thousands of Indians who have been trying to get home since lockdown restrictions were imposed, leaving many migrant workers stranded, unemployed and penniless.

- Spain’s two biggest cities, Madrid and Barcelona, both move into phase one of the country’s 3-phase lockdown lifting plan. People can now gather in small groups, while bars and restaurants can serve customers outside.

- And Ukraine’s capital Kyiv has resumed regular service on its metro. According to Johns Hopkins University, the country has confirmed more than 21,000 cases and recorded 623 deaths.
Two women in India went into labour while returning to their homes on two separate trains organised for migrant workers on Sunday.
Both trains were headed to Odisha state. In one case, the woman reported labour pains, prompting officials to halt the train at the closest station, where she gave birth with the help of the railway's medical officer.
Both mother and baby are in a stable condition, officials told Indian media.
In the second case, officials stopped the train and a police vehicle rushed to the spot. The woman gave birth in the vehicle itself, Odisha's director general of police tweeted.
