People dine at a restaurant in Saint-Jean-de-Luz as French President Emmanuel Macron announces the nighttime curfew yesterday.

“We have to act. We need to put a brake on the spread of the virus,” Macron said, adding the measure would stop people visiting restaurants and private homes in the late evening and night. That meant that around 20 million people would be affected out of a total population of some 67 million.“We won’t be partying with friends because we know that that’s where the contamination risk is greatest.”

The French hospitality sector immediately pushed back against the curfews, calling them “a closure in disguise” for restaurants, cafes and hotels, according to a joint statement from their federations.“We are in a worrying situation,” Macron said, while insisting France had not “lost control” of the virus and a second full lockdown, like the two-month measure earlier this year, would be “disproportionate”.
