Coronavirus rules country-by-country
France:
A 9pm to 6am curfew in Paris and eight other cities came into effect on October 17 and will last at least four weeks. Schools will remain open with travel between regions allowed during the day. Only six people will be allowed to gather inside private homes.
Face coverings are compulsory in enclosed public spaces throughout France, while specific areas have introduced additional rules.
Denmark:
Denmark was one of the first countries in Europe to reopen schools in April.
However, in late August the number of cases began rising sharply. The government responded by making face masks compulsory on public transport. In Copenhagen and surrounding areas - which have seen a spike in cases - bars, restaurants and nightclubs must now shut at 10pm.
Netherlands:
All bars, restaurants and coffee shops have now closed and only been able to serve takeaways.
The sale of alcohol in shops and restaurants is banned after 8pm, and you are not allowed to drink alcohol in public after that time.
All shops, apart from supermarkets, must close by 8pm across the country.
People are advised to stay at home and work from home as much as possible.
Spain:
The Spanish government imposed a 15-day state of emergency in Madrid and surrounding areas on October 9. Catalan authorities have ordered all bars and restaurants in the region to close, from October 15, for two weeks. They can provide take-away services only.
Face masks have to be worn by anyone over the age of six on all forms of public transport and indoor public spaces.
Belgium:
In the Be gian capital, Brussels, wearing a face mask is no longer compulsory in all public areas. A cautious reopening began in Belgium in early May. However, other new measures in Brussels were introduced: cafes and bars must close by 11pm and other businesses selling food and drink by 10pm. These measures are now being extended to the rest of the country.
Sweden:
There was no lockdown in Sweden but, in line with government advice, most people respected voluntary social distancing and started working from home where possible.
The country banned gatherings of more than 50 people and urged people over 70 to selfisolate - but shops, bars, restaurant and gyms stayed open. The number of new infections is now rising again, but not as sharply as in some other parts of Europe.
Germany:
A ban on large gatherings in Germany - such as public festivals, sporting events with spectators and concerts - has been extended to the end of the year in areas with high infection rates. In Berlin, which is among the regions with the steepest rise of infections, restaurants and bars must close at 11pm . Private parties are limited to 10. Outside and at night only, five people or members of two households are allowed to gather.
Italy:
Italy has made it mandatory to wear face masks in outdoor spaces across the country in an attempt to contain the spread of the virus. Italians must also wear masks indoors. Several new rules will be in place until at least November 13: bars and restaurants have to close by midnight, or 9pm if they don’t have table service. People cannot gather outside bars and restaurants between 9pm and 6am.
Portugal:
As pupils returned to school and some workers to their offices, new restrictions were put in place from late September. These include the closing of commercial establishments by 11pm and limiting gatherings to a maximum of 10 people.
Further measures, from this week will limit gatherings to a maximum of five people, ban university parties and allow up to 50 people at weddings.
Greece:
The number of cases in Greece started rising again in July. Masks are now compulsory in all public indoor spaces and on all public transport in Greece. In September, tighter restrictions came into force in the Attica region, which includes Athens: face masks have to be worn at work and in all crowded outdoor places.
There have also been further local restrictions introduced.
