Some 200 far-right activists clashed tonight (Sunday) with police in Rome in protest of new restrictions on the fight against the second wave of the Corona virus, similar to other countries on the continent facing rising morbidity.


Demonstrators in Rome, wearing masks, hurled flares and fireworks at police after a new curfew was announced in the Italian capital.

Seven protesters were arrested, a day after hundreds of people set fire to rubbish bins and threw burning objects at police in Naples in southern Italy.



Italy has been hit by the worst recession since the end of World War II after closing the country for two months due to one of the most severe corona outbreaks on the continent.

Authorities in Italy, as in other countries on the continent, are trying to balance the second wave with the need to stop the spread of the virus once again and the attempt to prevent a more severe economic blow, given the heavy damage inflicted by the first wave.



Similar demonstrations against corona restrictions have taken place in recent days in several countries on the continent, including Spain, Switzerland and the Czech Republic.

The World Health Organization warns of an exponential increase in the number of infected, threatening health systems' ability to cope with the second wave in countries that have already managed to take over the virus after the spring outbreak.

However, now the residents are less disciplined for the social distance guidelines and are angry about their economic situation and most countries are at this stage refraining from returning to a second and comprehensive closure.



After tens of thousands of people were infected in Germany yesterday, Chancellor Angela Merkel said: "The order of the hour is to reduce contact, and to meet with as few people as possible."



In Poland, President Andrzej Duda has joined a number of other world leaders infected with the virus, while the rate of new patients is at a record high.

Her 48-year-old aunt said his condition was good and that he was continuing his work.



In Spain, the threshold of one million infected was crossed, for the first time in Europe, and France extended the night curfew to other areas where about 46 million people live, about two-thirds of the entire population, after a record 45,000 diagnoses per day.

Colombia has also joined the dubious club of countries with more than a million people infected with the virus, which has claimed the lives of 1.1 million people worldwide since it was first identified in Wuhan, China at the end of last year.

More than 42 million people have been infected worldwide, and the fear is that the approaching winter in the northern hemisphere will exacerbate the situation.

The World Health Organization said the area was at a "critical junction".



In the United States, where the number of dead and infected is the highest in the world, the virus is the central issue in the presidential election that reaches the last line.
