PARIS - France on Saturday decided to extend a health emergency imposed to fight the new coronavirus for another two months until July 24, Health Minister Olivier Veran said.
A proposal to go before parliament from Monday says the lifting this month of the emergency, which began on March 24, would"be premature" and"could see a risk of the outbreak" intensifying."We are going to have to live with the virus for a while," Interior Minister Christophe Castaner said after a Cabinet meeting.The proposals cover an"information system" for those who have the virus and their entourage that would operate for up to a year.
The Bill will go before the Senate on Monday and the National Assembly most probably the day after, said government spokesman Sibeth Ndiaye. France is one of the European countries most impacted by the virus and lists 24,594 deaths from 167,346 confirmed cases. The government has announced the gradual lifting of some lockdown measures from May 11, including the reopening of primary schools.
