Despite a ban on demonstrations, thousands of people protested against the government's corona measures on Sunday in Vienna, including neo-Nazis and hooligans.

A large part of the approximately 5000 participants disregarded the mask and distance requirements.

When the crowd refused to disband and wanted to march towards Parliament instead, the police intervened.

Several demonstrators were arrested.

The police had banned almost all registered corona rallies in Austria for the weekend after massive violations of the corona rules had occurred again and again in the past.

A replacement demonstration against the ban on assembly, registered by the right-wing populist FPÖ, was also prohibited on Saturday.

Despite this, thousands of people followed the FPÖ's call on Sunday.

The corona high-risk area Portugal has sealed itself off to contain the pandemic.

Entry and exit has been prohibited without a valid reason since Sunday.

As in spring 2020, controls were reintroduced at the land border with neighboring Spain.

In addition, controls at ports and airports were tightened following the government decree.

Exceptions apply to people who drive to work, return to their main residence or are on the road for work, for the transport of goods and for medical emergencies or humanitarian aid.

The 1214-kilometer land border between Portugal and Spain was closed for the first time on March 17 because of the pandemic.

It was only reopened on July 1 in the wake of the sharp decline in numbers at the time.

According to Prime Minister António Costa, the corona situation in Portugal is "very bad".

On Saturday, 12,435 new infections and 293 more corona deaths were registered in the country with 10.3 million inhabitants.

Measured in terms of population, these values ​​are among the highest values ​​in the world, according to calculations by international organizations.

Extrapolated to Germany, that would be around 130,000 infections and more than 2,300 deaths within 24 hours.
