Hind Al Soulia - Riyadh - Countries across Europe that had appeared to be beating back coronavirus outbreaks are suffering from rising cases as they open up their economies.
Germany, Czech Republic and Slovakia all saw rising numbers of cases and are considering delaying measures to ease lockdown orders.
UK tourists in Croatia and Austria raced home to beat new quarantine orders imposed at short notice on the back of rising case numbers.
Germany recorded its highest number of coronavirus cases in more than four months, as infections rose to 2,034 in the 24 hours ending on Saturday morning.
About 40 schools in Berlin have confirmed infections in the two weeks since reopening. Another prime suspect for the new cases are tourists returning from holidays abroad.
"Some of the infection figures come from holidaymakers returning, but then also from partygoers and people who obviously no longer comply with protection regulations," said Stephan von Dassel, mayor of a district in central Berlin.
