Millions of Europeans faced tough new coronavirus restrictions Saturday as governments stepped up efforts to slow the surge in infections, after the World Health Organization reported a 'very concerning' 44 per cent rise in European cases over one week.

Millions of Europeans faced tough new coronavirus restrictions Saturday as governments stepped up efforts to slow the surge in infections, after the World Health Organization reported a"very concerning" 44 per cent rise in European cases over one week.

In a bid to stem the worrying rise in infections and in the hopes of heading off a return to full lockdowns, many governments have tightened measures to control the spread of the pandemic- even if some dissenters are fighting back in the courts.About 20 million people in the Paris region and eight other French cities were facing a 9pm-6am curfew from Saturday after cases surged in what has once again become one of Europe's major hotpots.

Under the new measures, about 28 million people - half of England's population - are now subject to tight social restrictions. But on Friday, a Berlin court overturned an order for restaurants and bars to close early, the latest legal setback for efforts by Germany's national and local governments to restrict coronavirus transmission.
