Several European states and cities are locking down yet again amid a so-called ‘third wave’ of the coronavirus pandemic, a development that comes against a backdrop of months of failures by the centralised European bureaucracy to get to grips with vaccinations, leaving former EU member Britain racing ahead like a “speedboat”. Germany, France, Italy, and Poland are among the European nations entering or extending lockdowns this week as they experience sudden rises in coronavirus case numbers. Italy’s new lockdown began on Monday, with tens of millions of Italians being plunged into so-called ‘red zones’. The 11 regions, which cover the majority of the country, are areas the Italian government has deemed to be particularly vulnerable to coronavirus. Inside them, all but essential businesses are closed and residents are subject to strict travel bans. Like previous Italian lockdowns, citizens must print and fill out an official Italian government form if they want permission to leave their own homes. The French capital Paris will start a new lockdown Friday night, due to last one month. Like other European nations, the government has blamed a “third wave” of Coronavirus, the BBC reports. Like Italy, non-essential businesses would be closed and Parisians would not be allowed to travel to other parts of the country without a legal reason, and would have to fill out a government form if they wanted to.
