    ATHENS, Oct 31 (Reuters) - Greece will expand a night-time curfew on movement and shut restaurants and bars in the most populous areas of the country for one month to contain a resurgence in COVID-19 cases, its Prime Minister said on Saturday.

    The country has reported less cases of the novel coronavirus than most in Europe, but has seen a gradual increase in infections since early October.

    The measures will come into effect Nov. 3 for one month, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said in an public address. (Reporting By Michele Kambas)
