While U.S. states continue easing COVID-19 restrictions, several European countries are imposing new rounds of curfews and constraints.

In the Netherlands, the government has issued a mandatory 8:30 p.m. curfew for citizens and has limited household visitors to one per day. Additionally, the Dutch have prevented all international travel until the start of April.
