As COVID-19 cases are once again on the rise in Europe, several countries have entered another lockdown and re-implemented restrictions to prevent the spread of the virus that has extended into holiday time.
Nightly curfews are in effect in most countries, along with restrictions about gatherings. Although most of these measures will be relaxed for the Christmas holiday period, each country has their own rules about how people will be able to celebrate during the pandemic.
In the UK, a new, potentially more contagious strain of COVID-19 has also sparked further travel bans and restrictions.
