Belgium. Approximately ten people die daily from covid-19 at this time. As more people become infected and more people are hospitalized, the death toll is expected to rise. Now new restrictions are being introduced. Bars and cafes must close no later than 11 pm In Brussels, they will be completely closed next month. In restaurants, a maximum of four people can sit at a table. The exceptions are large families. Private meetings are also restricted. You can host a maximum of four guests in addition to your own family in a home.
Denmark. After a time when infection rates have risen considerably, the trend appears to have reversed.

Restaurants and cafes will close at 10 p.m. and guests are encouraged to contact their guests to facilitate infection tracking. Private events outside the home, such as weddings, can have a maximum of 50 participants.

Finland. Where the infection is increasing now, starting from a small number, it is mainly in the regions around Helsinki and Vaasa and among young adults. Occasional deaths are reported weekly. About 40 percent of Finns have downloaded an app that shows where corona infections have moved and municipalities report whether someone has been to a gym, restaurant, school, etc. for a specified time. Schools that have been infected have switched to distance education.
Italy. Italy has done better than countries like France, the UK and Spain. However, over the past month, the infection has increased by as much as 64 percent. The death toll and those ending up in intensive care are still low. There is no talk of confinement in Italy, however, mouth protection is now mandatory throughout the country when you are outdoors. At the same time, Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte is reducing the ability of regions to make their own decisions. “We are again in the middle of a pandemic,” emphasizes Conte.
Netherlands. More are admitted to intensive care units, the infection is spreading again in nursing homes, and the antiviral drug remdesivir has been depleted. A maximum of 30 people can participate in organized events, but religious gatherings have been excluded so far. Since it became known that 600 people attended and sang at a service on Sunday, the government has urged congregations to conduct more digital services and to refrain from singing in churches.
Norway. In the last month the number of infections has increased, mainly in Oslo. In the capital, there is now a mouth protection requirement on public transport, restaurants must register their guests, and some indoor events may have only 50 participants. In late September, the Norwegian Institute of Public Health alerted FHI that development was going in the wrong direction. If the infection continues to spread at the current rate, medical care will come under great pressure by the end of the year, according to FHI.

Germany. In general, the spring closure is considered to have led to the pandemic being limited in Germany compared to other major European countries. Now it has been superseded by local measures, while a second wave is affecting parts of the country. Four districts of Berlin are now high-risk areas. In the Berlin parliament, mouth protection is mandatory, and Angela Merkel spoke a few days ago about the importance of ventilating indoors to limit the spread of infection.
