Updates & Corrections

Correction 01 December 2020: This feature incorrectly stated that 20% of travellers to Iceland tested positive for COVID-19 in a second round of testing five days after they arrived. In fact, 20% of the travellers who tested positive did so only in that second round. It also understated the daily number of infections in October. it has now been updated.
