The number of confirmed cases of COVID-19 (coronavirus) in Luxembourg reached 875 on Monday evening, including eight fatalities resulting from the virus.

Although the number of fatalities remained unchanged, the number of confirmed coronavirus cases rose by 77 from 798 on Sunday morning (around 10:00) to 875 on Monday, as of around 17:45.

While around 1,500 tests are carried out daily in Luxembourg, the fact that the public testing facilities in Junglinster and Marnach are closed on Sundays may have contributed to this relatively low increase in confirmed cases.
