European leaders reinstating coronavirus restrictions

European leaders are reinstating coronavirus restrictions as the new Omicron variant continues to spread through the continent. Germany and Portugal are among nations announcing post-Christmas curbs and greater social distancing measures. Omicron is already the dominant strain in many European countries.

The World Health Organization’s top official, Hans Kluge, in the continent has warned the surge will push health systems towards the brink of collapse. Kluge said another storm was coming and governments should brace for significant increases in cases. Germany announced that from December 28 limits would return that restrict private gatherings to 10 people and nightclubs would close, while Football matches from that date will also be played behind closed doors.
