Europe is opening up further, with its citizens tasting freedoms they missed during the coronavirus pandemic.
The scope of the relaxation varies but here are some of the highlights.
1. Czechs can have a beer
The beer-loving Czechs can finally get back into pubs, albeit with social distancing and mask-wearing indoors. It is the country with the highest per capita beer consumption in the world.
Monday marks the final stage in the Czech Republic’s staged easing of lockdown.
It has been hit far less hard by coronavirus than several other European countries, but was the first to make mask-wearing in public compulsory. It is not clear how strictly mask-wearing can be enforced indoors while people are eating and drinking.
2. Spaniards can visit museums
Spain had one of Europe’s toughest lockdowns but in the big cities parks, museums and other cultural centres are reopening under the country’s four-phase easing of restrictions.
There are strict limits on numbers: indoor sites can only operate at one-third capacity, while outdoor events are limited to a maximum crowd of 200.
Phase one of easing covers more than half of the population and includes Spain’s two main cities, Madrid and Barcelona. In both bars are now allowed to open terraces at 50% capacity and people can meet in groups of up to 10.
Previously Spaniards were allowed to leave home for exercise only during certain time slots, in an area close to home and according to age group. Now joggers have returned to Madrid’s famous Retiro Park.
But free movement is not allowed between Barcelona and its wider metropolitan area.
Other regions are entering phase two of easing which will see beaches and swimming pools reopening.
