Europe to reopen bordersLatin America has now suffered at least 70,000 dead from the coronavirus outbreak and in Mexico funeral workers wear full protective equipment. (AFP photo)BRUSSELS: Brussels set out plans to reopen the EU's internal borders on Thursday, even as the global coronavirus outbreak hit worrying new landmarks in the United States, Latin America and Russia. The European Commission recommended that the 27 EU members fully reopen their frontiers with each other on June 15 and with the western Balkans from July 1. Europe's borders with the world beyond will open more gradually after that — and only to countries where the pandemic is seen as under control. At least 7.3 million cases of coronavirus have been registered in 196 countries and territories.
