LONDON (AP) — Nations across Europe are reintroducing stricter measures to stem a new wave of COVID-19 infections spurred by the highly transmissible omicron variant. As cases escalate, alarmed ministers in France, Cyprus and Austria tightened travel restrictions. Denmark closed theaters, concert halls, amusement parks and museums. Ireland imposed an 8 p.m. curfew on pubs and bars and limited attendance at indoor and outdoor events. The return of restrictions prompted calls for protests in London, Paris and other cities. In the U.K., where the government has made masks mandatory again indoors, maskless protesters marched through a popular London shopping area on Saturday and told passersby to remove their face coverings.
