Europe is seeing a rapid re-emergence of COVID-19 outbreaks, prompting countries to reintroduce restrictions in an attempt to curb further spread of the virus.

Austria will join the second national lockdown from Tuesday to the end of November, declared by Chancellor Sebastian Kurz on Saturday.

In Britain, Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced Saturday that England will enter a month-long lockdown from Thursday.

"Now is the time to take action because there is no alternative," Johnson said in a virtual press conference at Downing Street.

The prime minister 's declaration of the most stringent controls, the second of its kind since the outbreak in Britain, came just a few hours after official statistics revealed that the country's reported cases were more than 1 million marks.

France, the epicenter of the COVID-19 outbreak in Europe, reported 46,290 new coronavirus cases in a 24-hour period on Sunday, taking the country's total infections to 1,41 million.

France returns to a partial national lockout, under which people can only go to work, to a medical emergency, to basic family needs, or to short-term exercise in the vicinity of their homes. Non-essential stores, including pubs, cafés, gyms and restaurants, are closed down.

The French government expects a one-month lockdown to help minimize daily infections to 5,000, but experts agree that the new restrictions would take more time to bear fruit.

Meanwhile, due to the worsening epidemiological situation in Spain, one of the worst-hit countries in Europe, authorities Wednesday have decided to close four more regions in the country.

Murcia closes borders for 14 days, while Andalusia, Castile and Leon, and Castile-La-Mancha until November 9.

While in Italy, over 21.7 million people, making up over one-third of the country's population, have been placed under curfew amid a spike in new infections.

"This truly is the moment for us to be united," Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte urged lawmakers Thursday while updating them on the latest restrictions and the financial measures to support economy introduced by the cabinet since Oct. 24.

He said this phase was "not less threatening than the first battle we fought in spring."

"All of the European Union countries are facing the dramatic impact of this second wave, and are adopting measures very similar to ours, in some cases even more severe," Conte said.

Bangladesh on Sunday registered 1,568 new coronavirus cases in 24 hours, pushing the caseload to 409,252.
