schema:articleBody	To counter a surge in coronavirus cases, bars and discos will be closed for four days in Iceland's capital, officials said Friday, as Nordic neighbour Denmark also announced new restrictions. Reykjavik, the capital of the sub-Arctic island, has recorded an upswing in cases since Monday. Of the 59 new cases recorded, 58 were in the Reykjavik region. "It is important to react as quickly as possible with targeted measures to prevent a generalised epidemic with its consequences," chief epidemiologist Thorolfur Gudnason said Friday in a memo to the health minister. At least a quarter of the latest contaminations have been linked to bars and nightclubs in the city centre -- the rest have been recorded at two universities in the capital. At the end of July, a surge was also recorded but curbed by restrictions, which were then eased in early September. With 365,000 habitants, Iceland on Friday reported a total of 2,230 cases of Covid-19 and 10 deaths, since the start of the pandemic. The previous day 21 new cases were recorded, the largest 24-hour increase in more than five months. Nordic neighbour Denmark is also seeing a surge and announced new restrictions. Bars and restaurants across the country will need to close at 10 pm -- a measure until now reserved for Copenhagen and its suburbs. Gatherings of more than 50 people will be banned as of Saturday, compared to the current limit of 100 people, with measures remaining in place until at least October 4. Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen stressed that while the number of cases was going up the situation was still better than in March. "What we're doing now is about avoiding ending up there, so that we avoid a closing down of large parts of society," Frederiksen said. Denmark has reported 22,291 cases of Covid-19 and 635 deaths. str-bur/hdy/jll/bp
