France re-implements lockdown measures in response to the epidemic

On the evening of the 28th local time, French President Macron announced that France re-implements lockdown measures in response to the epidemic from October 30 in response to the rapid rebound of the new crown pneumonia epidemic.

Macron made a televised speech on the development of the new crown epidemic in France and the government’s response measures that night. He said that compared with the first round of the epidemic, the second round of the epidemic is more difficult and the mortality rate is higher. In the second round of the epidemic, the new crown virus spread at an alarming rate, even exceeding the most pessimistic prediction before. Unlike the first round of the epidemic, which mainly occurred in densely populated cities, all regions of France are now approaching the alarm threshold for the epidemic. If nothing is done in the face of the epidemic, 400,000 people may die in France in the next few months.

Macron said that in order to protect the elderly, young people, medical staff, the poorest people and the national economy, from midnight on October 30th, France will re-implement the ban on feet. Except for commercial facilities such as public services and food stores, non-essential commercial places such as restaurants and bars will be closed. People need to bring a travel certificate to travel, and private gatherings and public gatherings are all prohibited. Different from the foot ban this spring, all schools from kindergarten to high school will continue to open up while strengthening epidemic prevention measures, and universities will conduct remote teaching; people can continue to work, and the government encourages qualified units to implement remote office; disability Institutions such as nursing homes can still conduct visits. Además, the number of critically ill beds has increased to 10,000, and ports, airports and other places will also enforce rapid testing. Macron also promised that the government will continue to provide economic support policies to affected enterprises and individuals.

Macron urged the French people to stay at home as much as possible and observe epidemic prevention measures.
