The curfew in France to contain the coronavirus will run until May 11. President Emmanuel Macron announced this on Monday night in a television address.
FRankreich has extended the strict exit restrictions in the fight against Covid-19 until May 11. There is hope, President Emmanuel Macron said Monday night in a television address. But in the Grand Est region or the Paris area, hospitals are overworked. The president thanked everyone who followed the rules. I knew this would be even more difficult if you lived in a tight apartment. Macron warned that May 11, as the end of exit restrictions, would only be possible if people continued to behave responsibly.
“May 11 will be the beginning of a new stage,” said Macron. Thereafter, schools and kindergartens should gradually reopen. However, restaurants, cafes, or hotels should remain closed for now. The elderly or the chronically ill should also stay home. Starting May 11, there should be sufficient capacity to assess all people with symptoms. Whoever has the virus should be quarantined. Macron also called for an anonymous application against the crown on a voluntary basis.
The strict rules have been in place since March 17 and have already been extended. The French can only leave the house if absolutely necessary. Walking, walking or sports are only allowed for one hour a day within a radius of one kilometer from the apartment.
France has been hit hard by the pandemic, with 14,967 deaths on Monday. For the fifth consecutive day, the number of people treated in the intensive care unit decreased slightly. The authorities speak of an “altiplano”. It was Macron’s third TV address for the corona virus. This started on Easter Monday at 8:02 p.m., so the French could clap again in time for the medical staff at 8 p.m.
