France has entered a total quarantine. Before that time, thousands of people had simply fled the capital, Paris, to areas of the country, where they hoped they would be able to withstand the shutdown more easily.
In these conditions, huge queues of cars formed at the exit of Paris, and the stations and bus stations were filled with people.
On the other hand, several hundred people took to the streets of the metropolis to protest the return to quarantine, and stores were robbed by those who remain in the city.
In France, almost 48,000 new cases have been announced in 24 hours. This is after more than 52,000 infections were announced on October 25.
Two days ago, President Emmanuel Macron announced a full quarantine starting Friday. Non-essential businesses will be closed, but schools will remain open for four weeks.
People will be able to leave the house to buy basic necessities, go to the doctor or exercise daily in the open air.
“The virus is circulating in France at a speed that not even the most pessimistic forecasts anticipated. Unlike the first wave, now all regions are on alert. (…) My responsibility is to protect all French people, despite controversies, despite the difficulty of the decisions that must be taken. I fully assume it, “said the French president, adding that the second wave” will be harsher, more lethal than the first. “
He said the epidemic would be assessed every two weeks.
