Coronavirus cases surge in Europe

Published October 11, 2020

BERLIN: Germany and Poland enforced new restrictions to fight the coronavirus on Saturday, as the number of cases surged in Europe and breached 10 million in Latin America and the Caribbean.

Bars and restaurants are to close at 11pm in Berlin until October 31 in a partial curfew, a measure already imposed — but starting an hour earlier — in the financial capital Frankfurt.

With more than 400 new cases daily in Berlin, the shutdown of the German capital’s legendary nightlife also covers all shops except pharmacies and petrol stations, although they will be banned from selling alcohol.
