France's government is considering extending its state of emergency until 16 February next year.

Government spokesperson Gabriel Attal also said several more regions of the country will enter red-alert status, meaning they will see curfews imposed.

The proposed new end date to the health state of emergency means 9pm to 6am curfews already in place in France's biggest cities could be extended. On Friday, the country reported more than 30,000 cases in a single day, the highest since the start of the pandemic. Tuesday's total of 20,468 brought the national figure to more than 973,000 while almost 34,000 people have died after catching coronavirus.
