Covid emergency in Paris and in France where infections are still a concern: I knowNot 12,148 new cases coronavirus registered in the last 24 hours. The hypothesis is to extend the state of emergency until March 31, 2021. A week from Marseille, the capital is also preparing to close its bars as of Monday and indeed, if the health situation does not improve, even more drastic decisions could be taken. This is what AFP writes, citing sources within the executive, even if, the news agency specifies, the latest data on Covid-19 infections will be awaited before the final decision.
Coronavirus, Merkel and von der Leyen: member countries agree to greater coordination
Yesterday, the French Minister of Health, Olivier Vèran, granted a truce to the bars of the capital, saying he expected a consolidation of the growth of infections, before putting Paris and its circle on high alert. The same sword of Damocles, however, also looms over the cities of Lille, Grenoble, Lyon, Toulouse, and Saint-Etienne. The minister said he will make a decision on Sunday, but now more sources within the government are convinced that the restrictions are moving towards launch. “The delay in the announcement allows us to prepare, together with the mayor of Paris, the professional sector for new restrictions from next week,” explained a source. In the restaurant sector, on the other hand, they may choose to remain open, although they respect stricter sanitary protocols. The Higher Council of Public Health should give new directions to restaurateurs before Monday, after which the French government will decide.

Rise of new cases: 12,148
There are 12,148 new cases of coronavirus registered in the last 24 hours in France. The health authorities make it known. There are 136 deaths, of which 47 in hospitals and 89 in nursing homes. There are currently 6,758 people hospitalized, of which 1,276 are in intensive care.
The National Assembly has given the green light to the extension until the end of March 2021 of restrictive measures, very controversial at the local level, which include, among other things, the closure of restaurants. For its approval, the Senate also needs a yes, but the government has already warned that to “protect the French we need this text”, even if it limits public freedoms, stressed Health Minister Olivier Veran.
