In Germany,
rapidly rising coronavirus infections have prompted action from the authorities.
The capital Berlin has joined Frankfurt and Cologne on the list of cities where
new cases have exceeded a key measure. Bars and restaurants have to close
early, but there's some doubt about whether the new restrictions will be enough
to stop the spike.
France is
struggling to contain a drastic rise in coronavirus cases. Officials reported a
record 20,000 infections on Friday alone. The government imposed one of
Europe's strictest lockdowns back in the spring and has stepped up its testing
program. But despite these efforts, they weren't able to stop the onset of a
second wave.
Confirmed
coronavirus cases in India are nearing 7 million, but there are hopes the rate
of new infections is slowing.
Authorities
are warning that Europe's second wave of infections has struck well before the
flu season has even started. They point to widespread "COVID-19
fatigue" among populations.
And
everywhere in Poland, it has now become compulsory for people to wear a mask
outdoors. Infections have also hit a new record high.
