Claim: The list of countries that imposed new lockdown restrictions to contain the second wave of COVID-19 virus.
Fact-check: Old message revived as new lockdown restrictions in various countries to contain second wave of COVID-19 - FACTLY
Verdict: the same message is being circulated on social media at least since december 2020. according to the oxford covid-19 government response tracker, several countries eased the lockdown restrictions imposed during the rise of second-wave cases in their countries. the countries mentioned in the list are implementing lockdown with only a few restrictions. hence, the claim made in the post is misleading.
