The French Ministry of Health reported 30,621 new cases of coronavirus in the last 24 hours on Thursday, a record since the implementation of mass detection. France has reintroduced the state of health emergency due to the spread of the coronavirus epidemic.
The positive rate is 12.6%, according to data provided by the French health authorities. 88 people died in the hospital, the total number of deaths reached 33,125, reports Le Figaro, according to Mediafax.
The Paris administration announced on Wednesday the restoration of a state of health emergency in France as of October 17, but President Emmanuel Macron assured that the authorities have not lost control over the coronavirus epidemic.
Emmanuel Macron confirmed that traffic restrictions will be imposed between 21:00 and 6:00 in the Ile-de-France region, including Paris, and other metropolises: Grenoble, Lille, Lyon, Aix-Marseille, Rouen, Toulouse. and Montpellier. The restrictions will last four weeks. “Night traffic bans are a relevant measure. It would be disproportionate to reintroduce total restrictions throughout the country,” argued Emmanuel Macron.
“The restrictions will last four weeks and we will go to Parliament to extend them until December 1. Six weeks is the time interval that seems useful to us, ”the French head of state also declared.
Emmanuel Macron says that anyone who violates the traffic restrictions to be imposed in France’s big cities will be fined 135 euros (158.61 pounds), Reuters reports, cited by Agerpres.
