It's been a busy day for Covid updates in the UK. Let's take a look now at what's been happening in other countries.
An investigation has been launched in Poland after 18 celebrities and politicians jumped the queue to receive coronavirus vaccinations.
Currently only medical workers and their families are eligible to be vaccinated.
But actress Maria Seweryn, singer Michal Bajor, and TV journalist Edward Miszczak have all confirmed they have received the jab.
They were reportedly among 18 "cultural figures" who agreed to serve as ambassadors as part of a vaccination drive.
They got the jabs at the Warsaw Medical University, which said it had an additional supply of doses that needed to be used before the end of last year.
In a separate case, Poland's governing Law and Justice Party expelled a local politician after he received a vaccination ahead of schedule, prompting considerable public anger.
Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki called it “a real scandal”.
“There is no justification for breaking the rules,” he told local media.
