The internal borders of the European Union will remain open, but anyone who wants to reach French territory must present a negative test carried out within the previous 72 hours or must do so upon arrival. Furthermore, it is not possible “to travel within the national territory, not even to move to second homes,” added Castex.

You cannot go more than a kilometer from home and the trip is limited to one hour. You can go out to take your children to school, which will remain open, do physical activity or take a walk with pets. As for outdoor sports, only individual practices such as jogging are allowed, while gyms will remain closed.

The French Prime Minister also encouraged the mass recall of smartworking: “Wherever possible, teleworking should be the rule.” However, the public office counters will remain open.

On the other hand, the stores are open, which must adopt new distancing measures: one customer for every 10 square meters. The schools will also remain open in Germany, as well as in France.

We will not close.” This is what US President Donald Trump said at the election rally in Tampa, Florida, underlining the rebound in growth in the United States in the third quarter with GDP in the last quarter at + 33.1%.
