schema:articleBody	After almost three months of easing measures against the coronavirus, Iceland said Thursday it was backtracking owing to a surge in infections. For the past week, 28 of 31 new cases of COVID-19 identified on the North Atlantic island have been linked to internal transmissions. Five separate sources of contamination have been identified in the southwest, in particular in Akranes, about 50 kilometres from the capital Reykjavík. The first hospitalisation since mid-May was also recorded on Wednesday. "We are acting very swiftly because we want to gain control of the situation as fast as we can," Prime Minister Katrin Jakobsdottir told a press conference. The government has tightened assembly restrictions, lowering the limit from 500 people to 100, in line with initial arrangements made March 16 at the start of the epidemic. It has also reinstated a mandatory two-metre (six feet) social distance rule that was eased on May 22. For the first time, it has made masks compulsory on public transport, domestic flights, ferries and in hairdressing salons. "We knew that this might happen because obviously the epidemic is still going very strong in the world," Jakobsdottir said. All travellers must be tested on arrival to avoid quarantine but tourists visiting the island for 10 days or more will have to take a second test four to six days after their arrival. The new measures take effect Friday at 12:00 GMT for at least two weeks. "What we're hoping for is that we need less time really to gain control of the situation," the premier acknowledged. Iceland, which introduced a mass testing policy, had returned to near-normal conditions with the reopening of high schools, universities and hairdressers on May 4, followed by swimming pools, gyms, bars and nightclubs. Entry to foreign tourists resumed on June 15 for travellers from the Schengen area, and was then extended to others. Iceland has recorded 10 deaths from 1,872 cases of COVID-19 since the start of the epidemic. Of those, 39 cases are still active. str/map/wai/er
