Belgium has shrunk the size of its social bubbles in a bid to combat rising infections, but the situation is particularly bad around Antwerp - the largest city in the country.

All municipalities in the area have recorded higher cases numbers in the last week, and two - Ranst and Antwerp itself - have recorded more than 100 infections per 100,000 people.

On Monday night, regional authorities brought in tough new measures to tackle the spread. Team sports and contact sports are banned, masks are compulsory for everyone aged over 12 where social distancing is not possible, and there is a new night-time curfew for all but essential workers.
A spokesperson for Mayor Bart De Wever said he was closely watching the situation and could "take additional measures if necessary".
