European countries tighten coronavirus restrictions as holidays approach Print this article
Some European countries seeing rising levels of COVID-19 infections are instituting tight restrictions prior to Christmas and New Year’s Eve.
Sweden, which has been an outlier in Europe and much of the world, has reversed course and is recommending its residents to wear face masks at certain times. Prime Minister Stefan Lofven announced Friday that the country is “recommending face masks and that they should be used on public transport at certain times.”
Additionally, Lofven said that as of Christmas Eve, the number of people allowed at restaurant tables will be capped at four, and alcohol will not be able to be sold in bars and restaurants after 8 p.m.
