Test, track and trace - expect to hear that phrase a lot from now on. The "TTT" strategy - explained in detail here - is crucial to the government's plans for coming out of lockdown. A key element is a free NHS contact-tracing app which will officially begin its trial on Tuesday. The aim is to quickly identify recent contacts of anyone who tests positive for the virus - find out more on how it works.

The Isle of Wight is the testing ground, with council and healthcare workers the first to try it, followed by the general population. If the trial is successful, the app could be available nationwide within weeks. Concerns have been raised over privacy, but ministers insist it has been designed with that "front of mind".

The prime minister will reveal more about the UK's exit strategy on Sunday. He'll have talks with opposition parties before that and Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer is calling for a "national consensus" to be reached. The BBC's James Gallagher considers what that might look like. As part of an inching back towards normal, a group of Conservative MPs are calling on the Church of England to ease restrictions enough to allow small-scale funerals.

In other news, the government is now paying the wages for nearly a quarter of UK jobs, under the job retention, or furlough, scheme. Despite the help though, thousands of nurseries and childminders could shut permanently, according to research.

More than 250,000 people have now lost their lives to the outbreak, according to data from Johns Hopkins University. That number comes with caveats, but it's a grim milestone nonetheless.

On Monday, the US reported 1,015 virus deaths in 24 hours - the lowest one-day tally in a month. Many states are attempting to restart economic activity, but in Michigan, a security guard has been shot dead after stopping a woman shopping without an officially-mandated mask. The government, meanwhile, has said it wants to borrow a record $3tn (£2.4tn) in the second quarter of the 2020/21 financial year to pay for coronavirus-related rescue packages.

Elsewhere, the good news continues in New Zealand, with no new Covid-19 cases for the second day in a row. Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has been discussing partially reopening the country's borders to create a "travel bubble" with Australia. In Europe, Germany has become the latest country to relax its lockdown, prompting a rush for haircuts - see how salons are trying to operate safely.

Hundreds of NHS workers who've been exposed to coronavirus are donating blood samples to find out why some of them get sick and others don't. Around the world, too, artificial intelligence technologies are being rapidly deployed as part of efforts to tackle the pandemic. Our technology of business reporter finds out more. And back on the UK front line, Dr John Wright - who's been sending the BBC regular dispatches - considers whether the virus could in some way be good for our hearts.

Several front pages focus on concerns about the government's draft guidance for getting people back to work. The Guardian says the plans have angered trade unions who consider them "vague and inadequate". The Daily Mirror, too, points out that firms are asked to "consider" making alterations to their offices, but won't be forced to. Elsewhere, the Daily Telegraph suggests the new contact-tracing app could make it harder for Britons to go abroad once lockdown restrictions are eased because it is incompatible with similar systems already been used in other countries. The Times, though, says the far more pressing issue is making sure the app works - and that's "by no means assured". Finally, there's an array of pictures from Italy, where officials have started lifting strict restrictions. The Daily Mail depicts an elderly couple beaming through their face masks as they hug their grandchildren for the first time in almost two months.
