New Year's Eve celebrations take place around the world as 2023 ushered in - ITV News



Countdowns and fireworks have marked the beginning of 2023 as millions celebrate the first new year without Covid-19 restrictions since the pandemic began in 2020.

While Covid continues to cause death around the world, particularly in China, many countries have largely lifted quarantine requirements, restrictions for visitors and relentless testing that had limited travel.

The Pacific nation of Kiribati was the first country to greet the new year, with the clock ticking into 2023 one hour ahead of neighbours, including New Zealand.
