Spanish capital Madrid are to be subject to lockdown restrictions to curb a rise in Covid - 19, as cases across Europe continue to spike.

From Monday, more than 850,000 people in the Madrid region will face limits on travel and sizes of groups.  Many northern hemisphere countries are now bracing for a second wave of the pandemic as winter approaches.  Spain has the highest number of coronavirus cases in Europe, and Madrid is once again the worst - hit region.

The World Health Organization WHO has warned of the perils as people move indoors. France recorded its highest number of new confirmed daily cases since the pandemic began, at 13,215 - a jump of nearly 3,000 more cases in 24 hours. The UK recorded 4,322 new cases and 27 deaths on Friday - its highest number of cases since 8 May.  They included Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire, who said he had tested positive but was showing no symptoms. 

 There is a lot of work to do in order to avoid amplification events, drive down transmission of this epidemic, protect the opening of schools and protect the most vulnerable in our society, Dr Mike Ryan, the head of the WHO's health emergencies programme.  Several cities, including Marseille and Nice, are bringing in tighter restrictions.
