Macron imposes fresh lockdown as COVID-19 spreads in France

French President Emmanuel Macron announced Wednesday a new coronavirus lockdown until at least December 1, hoping to bring under control an outbreak that is poised to overwhelm hospitals in a matter of days.

He admitted that a curfew for Paris and other major cities imposed two weeks ago had failed to stop a second wave of cases that has sent the death toll in France to nearly 35,000. The Sante Publique France health agency on Wednesday reported 244 new virus deaths over the past 24 hours, and more than 36,000 new positive tests.Starting Thursday night, bars, restaurants and non-essential businesses will be forced to close, and written statements will be required for people to leave their homes.But unlike during the two-month lockdown imposed last spring, students up to high-school level will continue to go to school.

Factories and farms will also be allowed to operate, and some public services will function, to limit the economic damage that would come from shutting down the country completely.“The economy must not stop, nor collapse,” Macron said, though working from home will be the norm for companies that can manage it.

May Corona Virus remain in France forever

God punish him in multiple times🙏
