Fencing around the lion statues in Trafalgar Square, London, ahead of New Year's Eve celebrations, Thursday Dec. 31, 2020. The British government has extended its toughest coronavirus restrictions to more than three-quarters of England’s population, saying a fast-spreading variant of the virus has reached most of the country. The move will severely curtail New Year’s Eve celebrations in parts of England that are home to 44 million people, or 78% of the population. People are advised to stay home, nonessential shops are shut and restaurants and bars can only offer takeout. (Dominic Lipinski/PA via AP)
