ROME - European nations on Sunday prepared for a further cautious easing of coronavirus restrictions following signs the pandemic may be slowing, with hard-hit Italy set to follow Spain in allowing pe

ople outside after weeks of confinement.

Romans were doing aerobics on their rooftop terraces and exercising indoors on Sunday and the squares in the city center were mostly empty on the last day Italians were obliged to remain within 200 meters of their homes. In another sign of life returning, Germany's minister for the interior and sport said Sunday he supports a resumption of the country's football season this month as long as teams respect hygiene conditions.

Most governments are sticking to measures to control the spread of the virus - social distancing and masks in public -- and more testing to try to track infections even as they relax curbs on movement. Italy's Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte, French President Emmanuel Macron, and Germany's Chancellor Angela Merkel gave their support in an open letter in weekend newspapers.

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani announced mosques would reopen across large parts of the Islamic Republic, after they were closed in early March to try to contain the Middle East's deadliest COVID-19 outbreak.
