France: Paris to shut bars
All bars in Paris will shut from 6 October for two weeks.
But restaurants and bars which serve food can stay open until 22:00. They will, however, have to put in place new sanitary measures and register customer contact details.
University lecture halls in the capital must be no more than half full, and working from home has to be prioritised.
Last week bars and restaurants in 11 cities, including Paris, were ordered to close at 22:00. In Marseille, they were shut completely for 15 days.
Across France, gatherings are limited to 10 people and wedding receptions, students parties and other organised gatherings in hired locations are banned.
Face coverings are compulsory in enclosed public spaces throughout France, while specific areas have introduced additional rules.
In Paris and surrounding areas, face coverings must be worn outdoors by anyone aged 11 and over. Hundreds of other municipalities across France have the same rule, including Toulouse, Nice, Lille and Lyon.
Spain: Madrid lockdown
Almost five million people have been affected by a new lockdown in the capital and nine surrounding towns.
People can leave their local area only to go to work, school or for medical care. Indoor and outdoor social gatherings are limited to six people. Bars and restaurants have to shut by 22:00. Along with shops, they have reduced the number of customers entering at any one time.
The measures were imposed by Spain’s central government and resisted by Madrid’s local authorities.
Germany: New rules for people arriving from high-risk countries
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. The new Bundesliga football season is taking place behind closed doors.
