While we’re hearing news of a few European countries opening up borders to international travellers, the spread of the new Delta variant of COVID is inducing fears among many all over again. The Delta variant has already reached Europe and the World Health Organisation is now warning that the continent could soon witness a new wave of the virus. As a result, nations in Europe are now issuing fresh travel curbs. Here is a list of European countries that have already imposed new curbs:
