France’s first new year’s weekend begins in gloomy weather after the French government extended curfew hours in 15 administrative regions to contain the accelerating spread of the coronavirus.
According to the government’s decision, the night curfew will begin in 15 of the 101 administrative regions that make up France, at 6:00 p.m. local time instead of 8:00 p.m.
To cope with the alarming number of injuries, especially in eastern France, curfew hours have been extended in 15 provinces. As of Saturday, around six million French people will not be able to leave their homes after 6 pm (5 pm GMT) in the eastern part of the country, except in exceptional cases, Agence France-Presse reported.
“We have extended the curfew by two hours, and the effect of the decision will certainly appear within 15 days or three weeks, but it may be modest,” said Frederic Adené, head of the emergency department at Avicenne-du-Bobigny hospital ( Paris region), to the television station PFMTV.
Several officials in the east called for more drastic measures, including a new local shutdown.
On the other hand, some reject this new procedure. “It is an additional restriction that we impose on our traders and companies, which will further slow down the economy,” said right-wing Alpes-Maritimes official Charles Ange Genesi.
Either way, after two weeks of lockdown since spring, tightening of restrictions may not end there. “If other regions see further deterioration, we will make the necessary decisions,” government spokesman Gabriel Atal told French television network TF1.
The latest figures released by the French Health Authority on Friday evening showed a slight decrease in the number of hospitalized and intensive care patients, but the number of daily injuries remains high, with almost 20,000 injuries a day in the last two days. .
