After weeks in the grip of the coronavirus pandemic, parts of Europe are beginning to ease lockdown measures on their populations in a step towards normality.
Italy and Spain were among the first European countries to put their populations on lockdown - with some of the world's most famous cities falling silent.
Once bustling bars, restaurants and cafes have had their shutters closed for almost two months - with many businesses across the continent fearing they won't be able to bounce back from the pandemic.
But on Monday, Spanish authorities began allowing some workers to return to their jobs after restrictions on non-essential industries were lifted.
Builders, cleaners and factory workers were permitted to travel to work again, as police officers in the city were seen handing out face masks in the city's metro stations.
Officials say social distancing and a ban on non-essential travel will remain in place.
In Italy the lockdown largely remains in place, but some bookshops and clothes stores will begin opening from Tuesday April 14.
After the UK government announced the lockdown is likely to remain in place for another three weeks, here's how other countries are moving forward.

Spain
Spain announced a partial easing of its lockdown on Monday, as the first non-essential workers were pictured travelling across the city.
The country has been one of the worst hit by Covid-19 in Europe with the killer virus claiming the lives of 17,489 people so far.
As the country enters its second month of lockdown, some businesses that cannot operate remotely, including construction and manufacturing, were allowed to reopen on Monday.
However the controversial decision has sparked criticism from some regional leaders who fear a resurgence of the outbreak.
Workers allowed to return to their jobs were given masks to wear when they arrived at transport hubs.
But the majority of the population are still confined to their homes, while shops, bars and public spaces will remain closed until at least April 26.
Italy
Italy has been one of the hardest-hit countries in Europe and has so-far recorded 159,516 cases of the virus - and 20,465 deaths.
Lombardy has been the worst affected region, suffering more than 60,000 cases and accounting for around half of the country's death toll.
Lockdown measures were introduced on March 5, with events suspended and schools closed.
By March 10, non-essential movement had been banned and all non-essential manufacturing was stopped on March 26.
After alarming day-on-day rises of deaths in recent weeks, the numbers have been falling in recent days.
From today, non-essential shops such as book shops and clothes stores will begin to open.
Social distancing measures however will remain in place and gathering will not be permitted.
Germany
Germany has recorded 128,048 cases of coronavirus and 3,038 deaths to date.
The first case was recorded on January 27 and lockdown measures started to be issued on March 14.
By March 22, all non-essential travel was banned, schools had closed and the country's land borders had been shut.
Non-essential shops and factories have remained open during the partial lockdown and schools could be re-opened next week.
The government plans on handing out masks to the public if lockdown measures are lifted as planned.
France
France has 136,779 cases of coronavirus and has recorded 14,967 deaths.
Events across the country were suspended on February 29 and by March 17 all non-essential travel had been banned, schools closed and shops closed.
Yesterday, French president Emmanuel Macron announced the country will remain in its current lockdown state until May 11.
He said after this date, another assessment will be taken on whether to reopen schools and creches.
Sweden
Sweden has taken a different approach to much of Europe in that it has not enforced any official lockdown and has instead advised people try and social distance themselves as much as possible.
Authorities in the northern region of Norrbotten warned locals to stay 'one moose length' away from one another in.
Shops, bars and restaurants have remained open across the country however Prime Minister Stefan Lofven warns stricter lockdown measures could be put in place if the situation worsens.
Austria
Austria has so-far recorded 368 deaths, with its first case being recorded on February 25.
On March 10 events across the country were cancelled and schools closed five days later.
By March 16, land borders had been closed, all non-essential shops shut and non-essential movement was banned.
From today, non-essential shops will begin to re-open, including DIY stores and garden centres.
Shopping centres, department stores and hair salons are to reopen from May 1 and by mid-May, restaurants and hotels are expected to open.
United Kingdom
Dominic Raab has said the Government will not consider lifting the UK coronavirus lockdown this week.
The Foreign Secretary said the UK was still not "past the peak of the virus" and added that "we don't expect to make any changes to the measures currently in place" after scientific advisory group (SAGE) meets later this week.
He said the country could not afford to take its 'foot off the pedal' and risk a second wave of the virus.
Opening the daily press briefing, Mr Raab said the Government was united in its "national mission" to defeat Covid-19, which has claimed over 11,000 lives in the UK.
Mr Raab also paid tribute to members of the public who followed Government advice.
He said: "At the end of last week we were concerned that people might start ignoring the advice or cutting corners given the temptation to go out into the sunshine.
"In fact the overwhelming majority of people stayed at home and understood the importance of doing so.
"By staying home this weekend, you've saved lives."
