The nation had a more relaxed approach to stop the spread of COVID-19 at the start of the pandemic – but infections have surged.
It’s now stepping up its measures to face the threat of more contagious strains detected in the UK and South Africa.
But as governments bring in new and tougher measures — are they losing control?
