Markets were mixed on Friday.
Early in the day, the Nikkei 225 rose 1.1 percent.
However, later, the STOXX Europe 600 fell 0.4 percent and the S&P 500 plunged 2.4 percent.
US stocks fell after the country reported a single-day record rise of 37,000 in infections on Thursday. Governors in Texas and Florida re-imposed restrictions on bars on Friday, marking a setback to hopes of reopening the economy.
Outside the US, localised restrictions have also been re-imposed in parts of the Portuguese capital Lisbon, western Germany, Beijing and Victoria state in Australia.
