Headlines from the Proactive UK newsroom. The FTSE 100 climbed nearly 60 points higher on hopes for a worldwide easing of coronavirus lockdowns restrictions. Boris Johnson is to outline the UK’s plans on Sunday.

 New car registrations slowed to a standstill in April after coronavirus lockdown measures were introduced, according to new trade figures. Only 4,000 cars were registered in April, a 97% drop on a year ago. Car dealerships have been closed as part of the virus restrictions. Ryanair, meanwhile, flew only 40,000 passengers in April compared to 13.5mln a year ago as the coronavirus restrictions grounded its fleet. The airline operated 600 flights, or 99% less than budgeted.

Cruise operator Carnival PLC(LON:CCL) has been forced to defend plans to resume some services in North America from August after they were met with a barrage of criticism. The FTSE250-listed group said it intended to phase-in services from Miami, Port Canaveral and Galveston from the 1st of August using eight ships.

 Genedrive (LON:GDR) is to raise up to £8mln to fund development of its two coronavirus diagnostic assays. The funding at 80p was primarily with institutional investors.

BATM’s (LON:BVC) Adaltis subsidiary has launched new test kits that diagnose if a patient has had COVID-19 by detecting antibodies present in their blood. They're fully CE certified and the Group has commenced shipping initial orders to several customers in Europe.
