New restrictions have sparked protests throughout Europe. People clashed with police in the Netherlands and Belgium, reports BBC.
WHO regional director Dr Hans Kluge told the BBC on Saturday that unless measures were tightened across Europe - such as on vaccines, wearing masks and with Covid passes for venues - half a million more deaths could be recorded by next spring.
