Coronavirus live updates: 1 in 10 people may have been infected, WHO expert says

CORONAVIRUS LATEST: — 10% of world population may have been infected, WHO says. — India registers over 74,000 new cases. — Russia records highest single-day spike in cases since May. — Paris and its suburbs will move to 'maximum alert zone.'

French Prime Minister Jean Castex has ordered Paris and its inner suburbs to be placed on maximum COVID-19 alert with new restrictions due to rising cases.

The restrictive measures, which will be laid out at a press conference with the city's mayor Monday morning, will come into force on Tuesday and will last for two weeks. Being put on the highest level of alert means bars will be forced to close during that time and restaurants will have to impose new sanitary protocols in order to stay open.A woman wearing a face mask walks past a closed restaurant in Paris, France, on Oct.

The move comes after bars and restaurants in the French port city of Marseille and nearby Aix-en-Provence were ordered to shut their doors last week as the number of COVID-19 infections climbed. The businesses are allowed to reopen this week, in accordance with a reinforced sanitary protocol.
