European States take measures to ease deadlock

Several European countries are beginning the new week with pro-active steps to ease severe deadlocks in the country, reports the BBC.

On Monday, openings of small shops will be allowed in Germany, and schools will resume for those classes that have graduation exams.

Last week Berlin said that the infection rate had slowed and that the explosion was under control while warning that people should be vigilant to avoid a second wave of infections.

Also from Monday, Poland will reopen parks and forests, and in Norway, kindergarten schools will reopen their doors for children.

The Czech Republic will allow open air markets to trade, and in Albania, the mining and oil industry can function again.

However, Spain, which has one of Europe's most severe infections, and France has decided to both continue the measures for another few weeks.

In Spain, however, children will be allowed some time outside the next week.
