Coronavirus live updates: Arvind Kejriwal, Amit Shah discuss Covid-19 situation in Delhi

Nepalese Prime Minister K P Sharma Oli on Wednesday claimed that 85 per cent of the people tested positive for coronavirus in the country are those who returned from India. His claim comes in midst of a raging boundary row between the two countries with India sternly asking Nepal not to resort to any "artificial enlargement" of territorial claims after the Kathmandu released a new political map laying claim over Lipulekh, Kalapani and Limpiyadhura. Nepal has recorded 279 new cases of the coronavirus infection on Wednesday, taking the country's Covid-19 tally to 4,364. At least 15 people have died due to the disease, according to the health ministry. Province No. 2 situated in southern Nepal bordering India has highest number of cases.

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said on Wednesday the government wanted to reopen the country's hospitality industry, shuttered by the coronavirus lockdown, as quickly as possible, although not before the planned date of July 4. "We are sticking to our plan," Johnson told parliament, saying guidance for the industry was being developed but there were continuing risks and they did not want to see a "bacchanalian" mass of people who could spread the disease.
