    European countries reimpose lockdown curbs amid spike in coronavirus cases
  • As Europe has seen a rise in the number of coronavirus infections again, several countries have decided to reimpose lockdown restrictions.

    The World Health Organization (WHO) said that the reason behind the spike could be the lifting of restrictions and complacency among people.

    It has been observed that the young population is leading the "second wave" of infections across the continent.
