The US has now surpassed six million cases of Covid-19 - almost a quarter of the world's total.

The country added one million new infections in less than a month.

More than 183,000 people have now died.

In the UK, France and Spain, the infection rate dropped compared with Sunday's figures - but the tallies may be readjusted later on.

It comes as children across Europe prepare to return to schools this week.

Global infection cases have now surpassed 25 million, with more than 846,000 Covid-19 related deaths.
