22 April BBC Europe summary:
"Italy's national unity government has backed a relaxation of Covid rules from Monday, even though the far-right League party abstained. The 22:00 curfew will stay but a colour-code system will return so that bars and restaurants can serve people outdoors in yellow and white regions and travel for work or health for orange and red regions will be allowed. A green pass will enable travel for people who've been vaccinated, have recovered or have a negative test.
Germany’s upper house of parliament, the Bundesrat, is today set to back a big change in the law to fight the pandemic, which will enable the government in Berlin to demand a curfew and school closures where infection rates are high. There’s only one state (in the north) where the seven-day incidence rate is currently under 100 cases per 100,000.
Greece will allow restaurants, bars and cafes to serve outdoors from 3 May, which is Easter Monday for Orthodox Christians. Schools will reopen the following Monday and domestic travel will open up on 15 May.
French Prime Minister Jean Castex will this evening detail latest moves towards reopening society and lifting travel restrictions. The big announcement is expected to be the lifting of the 10km (6 miles) limit on travel from 2 May and reopening terraces outside bars and restaurants in mid-May. However, more than 150,000 non-essential shops have been shut since 3 April and retail leaders have backed a call to reopen on 10 May. There has been a slight decline in infections but more than 5,900 people are still in intensive care.
The EU’s health agency, the European Centre for Disease Control has recommended that member states can consider relaxing mask and social distancing rules in some settings.The rules should stay in place in public or large gatherings, but it says they can be relaxed for meetings involving two individuals, households and social bubbles - when fully vaccinated young and middle-aged fully vaccinated adults meet unvaccinated people, if no-one has a risk of serious disease."
