The coronavirus crisis in France is increasingly alarming. In the last 24 hours, there have been more than 10,000 new infections (10,593, to be precise). The victims are 50, for a total of 31,095. Situation on the rise compared to yesterday, when cases stopped at just under 9,800.

The situation in the UK is no better. Although today’s positives stop at 3,395 (as many, but not as much as the French) and deaths are 21, the local outbreaks are concerning. As of midnight today, almost 10 million people will be locked up again, Corriere della Sera reports.

In the rest of the country, pubs and restaurants are the most affected, forced to close no later than ten o’clock at night and it will not be possible to meet more than six people. This new law, which came into effect on Monday, had turned their noses especially after the unusual invitation of the Minister of Justice to his citizens to report the violations. Now attention and concern turn to the capital, London.
