The world began ushering in the New Year on Thursday, with pandemic controls muting celebrations for billions of people eager to bid farewell to a virus-ridden 2020.

No light show will illuminate Beijing from the top of the TV tower. The lions of London s Trafalfar Square will be barricaded off, as will Red Square in Moscow. In Rome, crowds will not assemble in St Peter s Square, and revellers will not make their yearly dive into the Tiber.
