Coronavirus: How different countries in Europe are easing lockdown measures - Sky News

Across Europe, different countries are lifting their sanctions at a variety of speeds.

Some, notably the ones who have been worst hit by COVID-19, are treading cautiously on the path back to normality.

Others are trying to go quicker, often because they were not so badly affected to begin with.

So let's take a quick tour round the continent and compare their plans.

And we can start in the country that everyone seems to be looking towards - and that's...

Germany

The rules do vary between states. For example, you can already visit a restaurant in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania while other states are expected to allow restaurants to open in the coming days, or perhaps even weeks.

But across Germany, children are going back to school, in a staggered return depending on which age group they are in.

Most shops are now open, but both federal and state governments say they will reimpose restrictions if there are signs of a second wave.

France

Public transport has come back to life, but it's mandatory to wear a mask.

Bookshops, florists, clothes shops and hairdressers are open and primary schools are starting to take back a limited number of pupils.

People will no longer need to carry around the paper document, known as an attestation, to show why they have left home, but they will still have to remain within 100km of their home.

But travellers from France will be allowed to enter the UK without facing quarantine.

Belgium

In terms of per-capita impact, Belgium is perhaps the worst-hit country in the world.

But many businesses have now reopened, along with shops.

Bars are still shut, along with all restaurants, but you can buy food and drink to take away.

Masks are recommended on public transport and shoppers are told they cannot stay in a store for more than 30 minutes.

Greater provision has been made for cyclists. Schools will start to reopen on 18 May.

Spain

Tough restrictions remain in place for Madrid and Barcelona, which were hit the hardest.

In other areas, gatherings of up to 10 people are now being authorised.

People can only move around within their province, but - in these areas - outdoor areas at bars and restaurants can open, with limits on capacity.

Schools across the whole country will remain closed until September.

Italy

Schools are also closed until September, but factories and many offices have already been open again for a week.

Shops are due to reopen in a week's time, along with museums, churches and cultural sites.

Bars and restaurants are due to open their doors again on 1 June, along with hairdressers.

Masks are mandatory on public transport to try to prevent the spread of coronavirus.

Austria

One of the most prominent of the countries to claim that it shut down early, avoided a huge number of cases, and can now ease its lockdown rapidly.

Hairdressers and tennis courts, among other amenities, have been open since the start of the month.

Austrians are now allowed out for non-essential trips and certain shops, shopping centres, hairdressers can reopen

There are no restrictions on travel or on gatherings of up to 10 people, as long as social distancing is observed.

Masks must be worn on public transport and in shops. Schools have started a gradual return.

And the rest...

The Netherlands has welcomed primary school children back.

Denmark has reopened shopping centres and will restart schools next week.

Greece has reopened all its shops while Norwegian schools are now running classes for all age groups.

What does the new 14-day quarantine mean for my holiday abroad this summer? - The Sun

BORIS Johnson's speech on the UK's latest measures in the fight against coronavirus could spell bad news for holidaymakers.

The Prime Minister announced on Sunday night that all arrivals from abroad will face a 14-day quarantine period - including returning British nationals.

What are the new rules?

Visitors will have to give an address when arriving in the UK which will be where they will quarantine for two weeks.

The restrictions hope to reduce infection in the UK from international visitors.

Johnson made the quarantine announcement in his address to the nation last night but no start or end date has been disclosed.

He explained: "To prevent re-infection from abroad, I am serving notice that it will soon be the time – with transmission significantly lower – to impose quarantine on people coming into this country by air."

However, there are fears that the new rules are unenforceable - Metropolitan Police Federation chairman Ken Marsh told the Daily Mail: "We're not going to be able to do it. That's the end of it."

The new measures will include arrivals by air, ferry and Eurostar

Does 14-day quarantine apply to British nationals?

Yes - any Brits returning home will have to quarantine too.

Holidaymakers and families who decide to go abroad, will have to book another two weeks off at home.

Does this also include ferries and the Eurostar?

Yes - the measure is for all points of entry to the country, including ferry and cruise ports and the Eurostar.

Anybody travelling to the UK by one of these methods will also have to give an address of where they will quarantine for two weeks.

The prime minister explained: "I give notice we shall introduce new restrictions at the UK border 14 days of self isolation for international arrivals while respecting our common travel area with Ireland."

But there is an exception...

France and the UK will waive the quarantine restrictions at both arrival and departure

What about holidays to France?

Brits will thankfully be able to avoid the quarantine restrictions if they take a holiday to France, both on arrival and departure.

This means travellers won't have to quarantine when arriving in France, nor when they return to the UK.

This includes flights, the Eurostar and ferries.

A government statement said: "No quarantine measures would apply to travellers coming from France at this stage; any measures on either side would be taken in a concerted and reciprocal manner."

A group of French and British officials will now be set up to ensure the consultation happens in the coming weeks.

No other countries have agreed to waive the 14-day quarantine restrictions with the UK.

How long will the 14-day quarantine process be in place?

The government is yet to announce how long the measure will be enforced.

Airlines are calling for the new restrictions to be in place for a short time to prevent further devastation to the travel industry and to not "unnecessarily constrain the important role [of] air travel".

An easyJet spokesperson told City AM: "Quarantine requirements for passengers should only be in place for a short period, while the UK remains in lockdown.

The effectiveness of the 14-day quarantine has also been called into question.

Brian Strutton, pilot union BALPA General Secretary, said “We haven’t seen the scientific basis for the possible 14 day quarantine proposal, nor any risk assessments for the health and wellbeing of crew.

Brits are unlikely to be able to go on a summer holiday any time soon - many countries are not expecting tourism until July.

Some countries predict tourists may not even return until 2021.

Other holiday destinations have put the UK at the bottom of the list for returning due to the high number of coronavirus deaths in the country, which has become the highest in Europe.

North Korea earthquake: Alert across South Korea border in Seoul as strong quake strikes - Express.co.uk

The magnitude 4.0 earthquake hit North Korea's Gangwon Province, the South Korean Meteorological Administration has confirmed. The KMA also confirmed the earthquake was a natural one and not the result of a missile test. Reports have suggested the tremors were felt as far south as South Korea's capital, Seoul.

The European Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) said the earthquake was at a depth of 10km.

Earlier today, an earthquake with a magnitude of 5.5 struck off the coast of eastern Japan.

No tsunami threat was issued, and there were no immediate reports of damage.

The Japan Meteorological Agency said the epicentre of the earthquake was off the coast of Ibaraki prefecture, north of Tokyo, and measured at a depth of 50km.

Last month, South Korea was hit by three earthquakes in and around the sothwestern region, the Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) said.

A magnitude 2.4 earthquake hit Geumsan of South Chungcheong Province, 198 km south of Seoul.

Mokpo, a South Jeolla port city and 410km south of the capital, also felt small tremors from a separate quake.

Just two days earlier, a 2.8 magnitude earthquake hit the North Jeolla county of Jangsu, 318km south of Seoul.

There were no reports of any injuries or property damage from the three earthquakes.

Tensions between the two countries have been intensifying over recent weeks.

Last week, North Korea lashed out at South Korea for what the country called "reckless" military drills near their disputed sea boundary.

The North's Ministry of the People's Armed Forces accused the South of mobilizing fighter jets and warships for drills in the western sea boundary on Wednesday.

They claimed the exercises violated inter-Korean agreements aimed at reducing military tensions.

A statement said: “Such reckless move of the military warmongers of the south side is the height of the military confrontation.

"This is a grave provocation which can never be overlooked and this situation demands a necessary reaction from us."

But South Korea's Defence ministry quickly hit back, and said the drills didn't break any agreemebnts because they had taken place in western waters - around 300km away from the sea boundary.

Coronavirus: What the UK and France's quarantine deal means for your holiday plans - Sky News

Before too long, international travellers flying into the UK will be required to quarantine themselves for two weeks in order to make sure they do not spread coronavirus.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced the addition to the government's COVID-19 strategy in an address to the nation on Sunday, without revealing a start or end date for the new measure.

However, a reciprocal agreement struck between Mr Johnson and French President Emmanuel Macron later revealed that the 14-day quarantine would not apply to those moving across the Channel.

But those hoping the deal might have rekindled hopes of a potential summer holiday would do well to keep their expectations in check - coronavirus means there is still no indication you will be able to enjoy a getaway anytime soon.

Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab has told Sky News that trips abroad will remain off the cards despite the apparent exceptions granted for those heading to and from France.

He told Kay Burley@Breakfast that the arrangement was focused on "common sense measures" across short straits, such as to maintain shipping between Calais and Dover.

Advice on the website of the French embassy in London also makes clear that people should only travel between the two counties when "strictly necessary" - ruling out hopping on the Eurostar for sightseeing in Paris.

While travellers coming from the UK, the European Union and the Schengen zone will not need to enter quarantine immediately upon arrival in France, they will need to provide documents proving their need to enter the country.

Examples of supporting evidence listed on the embassy's website include proof that your main residence is in France, proof that you work in healthcare, or that you are a cross-border worker.

Transporters of goods need a certificate from their employer and to show where the goods are being delivered.

Earlier this month, Mr Macron said it was "too early to say" when people might be able to go on a summer holiday, whether abroad or within France.

"We will only know this at the beginning of June," he said.

The UK and France are among the countries worst-hit by coronavirus.

The UK has more than 220,000 confirmed coronavirus cases and 31,930 deaths, and France has more than 177,000 cases and 26,383 deaths.

Unlike the UK, some French businesses that had been forced to close - such as salons - have been allowed to reopen with enhanced safety measures in place.

However tourist destinations remain closed, including the likes of the Louvre, the Eiffel Tower, and Disneyland Paris, which have helped make France become the most visited country in the world.

France welcomed around 90 million visitors in each of the last three years, with more than eight million Britons making the trip each year, and it was aiming to hit 100 million in 2020.

The centuries-old mount lies empty except for a handful of local residents whose businesses depend on the influx of tourists.

With France off the cards, are there any other holiday options?

The only other country exempt from the UK's incoming quarantine measures is the Republic of Ireland, although this move has not been fully reciprocated.

Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar introduced 14-day self-isolation rules for incoming travellers last month, other than for those residents returning from Northern Ireland.

According to the Belfast Telegraph, the Irish government will keep its existing rules in place - meaning people travelling from the other home nations will have to quarantine for two weeks.

Domestic holidays for Britons are also still on hiatus - based on the vague timetable outlined by Mr Johnson on Sunday, the majority of the UK's hospitality industry will be offline for some time to come.

There is a prospective return date of 4 July for some venues such as pubs and restaurants, but this could change if coronavirus reasserts itself among the population.

Any comeback for locations like these would also need to adhere to social distancing rules.

British resorts such as Center Parcs had already committed to remaining closed until the end of May.

Speaking on Kay Burley@Breakfast, Mr Raab said he was "sorry" to those whose holiday plans had been torpedoed, adding that he would not be making any such travel arrangements this summer.

Last month, tourism officials in Cornwall warned 80% of the industry could collapse if guests were still not being accepted come July and August.

For now, Britons are still being broadly advised to stay at home other than for essential work and outdoor exercise.

China's Wuhan reports first coronavirus cluster since lockdown was lifted - Daily Mail

Wuhan reports first coronavirus cluster since restrictions were lifted after another Chinese city goes into lockdown amid fears of a COVID-19 rebound

  • Wuhan today reported five new cases, all of whom live in the same complex
  • They were previously classified as asymptomatic who showed no symptoms
  • Comes after Shulan, a city of 600,000 people, went into lockdown at weekend
  • The city in north-eastern China is in 'wartime mode' after registering 12 cases
  • China is beginning to reopen recreational venues when the two clusters struck
  • Here’s how to help people impacted by Covid-19

Wuhan, the epicentre of the novel coronavirus outbreak in China, reported on Monday its first cluster of infections since a lockdown on the central Chinese city was lifted a month ago, stoking concerns of a wider resurgence of the disease.

The news comes after Shulan, a city in north-eastern China, imposed lockdown measures on its 600,000 residents, also due to a cluster of cases.

The new infections in both cities sounded a note of caution amid efforts to ease coronavirus-related restrictions across China as businesses restart and individuals go back to work.

Wuhan reported five new confirmed cases, all of whom live in the same residential compound. One of them was the wife of an 89-year-old male patient reported a day earlier in the first confirmed case in the city in more than a month. 

'At present, the task of epidemic prevention and control in the city is still very heavy,' said the Wuhan health authority in a statement. 'We must resolutely contain the risk of a rebound.'

All of the latest confirmed cases were previously classified as asymptomatic, people who test positive for the virus and are capable of infecting others but do not show clinical signs such as a fever.

The new Wuhan cluster emerged after Shulan went into lockdown on Saturday. The city in Jilin province had registered 12 COVID-19 cases in the space of two days, all linked to the same source. 

Shulan went into lockdown over the weekend after officials had recorded a cluster of 12 COVID-19 cases. The started from a 45-year-old woman who tested positive on May 7

The chain of infections in Shulan started from a 45-year-old woman who is a laundry worker at the city's public security bureau, reported Beijing News

She tested positive on May 7 before spreading the disease to 11 more, including her husband, three sisters and one brother-in-law, according to Jilin Health Commission.

The regional authority today reported three additional local cases, all of which are related to the cluster. 

One of them lives in Shulan. The other two are from the city of Jilin and were uncovered through contact tracing of people who were in contact with earlier Shulan cases.

Shulan has been marked a high-risk area, the only place in China currently with that designation.

'We're now in a "war-time" mode,' said Jin Hua, mayor of Shulan, which until last Friday had reported no local cases for more than 70 days.

Officials have enforced draconian restrictions on its residents, with just one member of a household being allowed out each day to buy necessities.

The number of asymptomatic cases in China is not known, as they only appear on the radar of health officials when they show up positive during tests conducted as part of contact tracing and health checks.

China does not include asymptomatic cases in its overall tally of confirmed cases, currently at 82,918, until they exhibit signs of infection. Mainland China has reported 4,633 deaths.

Hundreds of asymptomatic cases in Wuhan, which was released on April 8 from a months-long lockdown, are currently being monitored, according to the city's health authority.

The number of new cases reported in China since April have been small compared with the thousands confirmed each day in February, thanks to a nationwide regime of screening, testing and quarantine. A vendor is seen selling vegetables on a street of Wuhan on April 23

The government said on Friday that China will gradually reopen cinemas, museums and other recreational venues, though restrictions including mandatory reservations and a limit on numbers will be in place.

Shanghai has already reopened some night entertainment venues such as discotheques. Walt Disney on Monday reopened its Shanghai Disneyland park to a reduced number of visitors.

New outbreaks in China in the past two months have mainly developed in residential compounds or at hospitals.

South Korea is also battling a wave of new cases, although there the most recent outbreaks started in nightclubs and bars.

The Wuhan cases helped push the overall new COVID-19 infections confirmed on May 10 to 17, the highest daily increase since April 28.

Elsewhere in China, the provinces of Liaoning and Heilongjiang, both in north-eastern China, each reported one case, adding to worries about a resurgence of the outbreak in the region. 

A 70-year-old patient in Harbin, capital of Heilongjiang, had tested negative seven times before results turned positive.

Of the new cases, seven were so-called imported cases in the northern Chinese region of Inner Mongolia involving travellers from overseas.

Across China, the number of new asymptomatic COVID-19 cases fell to 12 on May 10 compared with 20 reported a day earlier.
