Globally, nearly 43 million people have been affected by the virus

Europe is slowly returning to total quarantine. The first European country to exceed one million cases, Spain, is on the verge of re-establishing a state of emergency. France has also exceeded this psychological threshold, while in Germany the death toll has exceeded 10,000 deaths. In Italy, too, there is a growing debate about a quarantine of at least two weeks at national level. And in the Belgian capital, the shops will close at 20:00 and no one will be allowed to take to the streets after 22:00. Globally, almost 43 million people have been affected by the pandemic virus, Moldova 1 reports.

France is the seventh country in the world on Saturday with more than a million cases of COVID-19, after a new bleak record of 42,000 positive tests in the last 24 hours. President Emmanuel Macron has said he expects the pandemic to continue until at least the summer of 2021.

Meanwhile, thousands took to the streets in London on Saturday to protest against the British government's restrictions on fighting the Coronavirus, and police have made several arrests. Armed with banners, the participants demanded the elimination of the obligation to wear a mask and denounced the current measures as equivalent to tyranny and state surveillance.

The restrictions imposed due to the pandemic have provoked violence in the Polish capital, where thousands of people have taken to the streets against the government. Some of them got into a fight with the police and were arrested. All this on the same day that more than 13,000 new infections were reported in Poland. Among the sick is the country's president, who announced that he has entered self-isolation and is feeling well.

Germany, one of the countries that managed to best control the Coronavirus pandemic in the spring, has surpassed 10,000 deaths due to COVID-19. Thus, local restrictions were decided, as happened in Berlin, where the wearing of a mask was imposed on certain busy streets. German Chancellor Angela Merkel solemnly called on the population last week to minimize social relations, calling on it to "stay at home" as much as possible.

Meanwhile, to ensure that the restrictions are met, police are patrolling non-stop in the big cities, on top being Rome. Fences have been installed that restrict access to certain areas, and restaurant owners and customers who ignore the new measures are forced to close their premises or go home.

Since the beginning of the pandemic, more than 1.55 million people have died from the virus.
