Certain counties in Europe are starting to ease their lockdown restrictions. We thought we could run you through some important changes. For example, in the Netherlands restaurants have been reopened. However, it is only allowed to be open until 6 p.m.
Italy reopens restaurants
In Italy, too, restaurants can generally reopen. But, if you want to travel to the country, you have to be in quarantine, apart from certain exceptions. On the other hand, people who travel to Spain, Bulgaria, or Greece from Germany, for example, do not necessarily have to be in quarantine there at the moment.
