When restrictions fell and the country opened up earlier this autumn, few could envisage closed schools and home offices just two months later.

But with a new virus variant spreading at record speeds and hospitals under heavy pressure, several countries have been forced to apply the emergency brake. A number of measures have now been put in place to curb infection in Europe.
