The Netherlands resumes lockdown
The Dutch government decided to close bars and restaurants as of Wednesday evening to counter the sustained surge in coronavirus cases across the nation.
Prime Minister Mark Rutte said that the nation needed to move a step closer to a full lockdown because few other countries in Europe saw such an increase in case as the Netherlands.
In the week ending Tuesday, the new cases stood at 43,903 in the nation of 17.3 million, an increase of some 60% over the preceding week. People ending up in the intensive care units shot up to 192 from 121, and coronavirus deaths reached 150 compared to 89 the week earlier. The Amsterdam and Rotterdam regions are the current hotbeds of the virus in the Netherlands.
To make sure that revelers unable to go to bars wouldn't party at home, the government also banned the sale of alcohol after 8 p.m.
The measures come into effect Wednesday evening.
In additional measures, the government said that any household would be able to receive no more than three guests per day. Public transport travel should be limited as much as possible.
The official death toll from the virus in the Netherlands is 6,587.

A woman in the Netherlands has become the first person to die after being reinfected with coronavirus.
The elderly patient was the subject of an academic paper recently published by the Oxford University Press which said that the woman died 59 days after the start of her first bout of the virus.
The 89-year-old reportedly also suffered from a rare bone marrow type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma and was diagnosed with coronavirus for a second time just two days after beginning chemotherapy.
Researchers tested her during both episodes and confirmed that the genetic makeup of the virus was different, making it likely that the woman was indeed suffering from reinfection.
They also noted that her symptoms appeared to have “subsided entirely” when she was discharged from hospital after first being infected with coronavirus.
Lead researcher Mark Pandori, from the Nevada State Public Health Laboratory in the US, said: “While more research is needed, the possibility of reinfections could have significant implications for our understanding of COVID-19 immunity, especially in the absence of an effective vaccine.
