The main measure the introduction of a curfew in the Paris region and eight other metropolises, from this Saturday, from 9pm to 6am.
The second wave of covids in France
This virus is making a comeback we are in the second wave. And it goes back to all of Europe, in Germany, Spain, Holland. The virus reboots and recirculates very quickly throughout Europe. important to say what we know this virus: kills. Rather, the elderly, those who suffer from other diseases such as diabetes, hypertension or obesity, and it affects even more in the poorest environments. But it still attacks all ages. Half of the cases in intensive care currently in France are under 65 years of age. Now we have to react. We do between 1.3 and 1.4 million tests per week, and every day 200 of our fellow citizens are admitted to intensive careand we have 20,000 new cases a day. Our health services are entering a phase of stress that is more worrying than the first wave because the virus was then more confined to the East. Now, however, it is more widespread throughout the country and the doctors are exhausted. We need to take other measures. It is necessary to lower the 20 thousand current cases, to lower these 200 resuscitation accesses. Confining the country again would be disproportionate, but the curfew is a constant measure.

It will apply to the region Ile de France (that of Paris) and eight other metropolises: Grenoble, Lille, Lyon, Aix, Marseille, Saint-Etienne, Toulouse, Rouen. You will not be able to leave home from 9 pm to 6 am for six weeks. If we manage to reduce the new cases of contagion, we can gradually reopen. Bars, restaurants, cinemas, theaters, all closed.

We are trying to stop the virus and not the economy or the school. We try to target the main sources of contagion, which are hangouts, the president said, adding that I realize, it is difficult to be 20 years old in 2020. Macron then explained that, at the moment, there are no restrictions on movements between regions of the country. Country.
