Portugal will introduce a curfew across most of the country from Monday in an effort to combat surging coronavirus case numbers, Prime Minister Antonio Costa has announced.<\/p>\n

The measures will be in effect all weeknights and from 1pm on weekends for at least two weeks, Costa said after an emergency cabinet meeting late Saturday. <\/p>\n

It comes a day after the country declared a state of emergency over the pandemic, with the daily number of new infections trip<\/a>ling to 6,000 since early October.<\/p>\n

“The only way to control the pandemic is to avoid social<\/a> interaction,” said Costa, adding that the measures were necessary to avoid the reintroduction of the stricter lockdown authorities imposed during the spring.<\/p>\n

Costa said the restrictions would app<\/a>ly to around 70 percent of the population.<\/p>\n

Several European countries have introduced new movement restrictions in an effort to control a fierce second wave of infections across the continent. <\/p>\n

Greece became the latest European nation to enter lockdown on Saturday, with people there only allowed to leave home if they receive authorisation from a mobile phone request.<\/p>\n

Poland was also imposing fresh measures on the weekend with the closure of most shopping centres.\n <\/p>\n\n
