Through a television address, The president confirmed that the 9 cities (including Paris) most affected by the coronavirus pandemic in France will have a night curfew for a month, approximately.
“We have to take stricter measures because we are in a very worrying situation. Six weeks is the time that we believe is useful to control the outbreaks, “said Macron.
The curfew, according to the head of state, will govern between 9:00 at night and 6:00 in the morning, and will come into effect from next Saturday. People who do not respect it will be sanctioned with a fine of 158 dollars ($ 606,000).
“You will not be able to go to restaurants and parties will not be able to be held in the residences”explained the French president, who also pointed out that there will be strict police controls in cities.
Although he did not provide further details, The president said that the government will restore the state of health emergency throughout the country as of next Friday at midnight, to stop the increase in daily infections (3,000-5,000 on average) of COVID-19.
Finally, Emmanuel Macron ruled out that there is a new strict general quarantine, such as that established at the beginning of the pandemic. “It would be disproportionate, so the curfew is a relevant measure”, he concluded.
