Following the introduction of the new, more infectious strain of COVID-19, many European countries are poised to extend their lockdowns following a sharp rise in new cases and deaths.
Over recent weeks, Germany has been reporting record highs of new cases, likely due to the new strain of COVID-19, among other things.
The UK is also set to extend its lockdown after the new COVID-19 strain caused cases to skyrocket.
The UK previously extended the closure of primary schools to prevent the spread of coronavirus in young children.
France has taken similar measures, with the government ordering the closure of restaurants and bars after daily cases rose by nearly 5,000 from the 10,000 new cases seen in late December.
