France is weighing earlier curfews and weekend lockdowns in some places to curb Covid-19 as cases rise and hospitals brace for a surge of new patients

By Noemie Bisserbe Close Noemie Bisserbe Updated Oct. 27, 2020 4:34 pm ET PARIS—France has emerged as the epicenter of the second wave of coronavirus infections now sweeping much of Europe, causing hospitals to brace for a surge of new patients and pushing the government to consider tough new restrictions in some places.

In response, President Emmanuel Macron could implement tough new restrictions to confront Europe’s largest coronavirus outbreak, as previous measures appear to have been insufficient in containing the spread.

Mr. Macron will address the nation on Wednesday evening.

Jean-François Delfraissy, a doctor and immunology specialist who leads a scientific board advising the French government on how to tackle the pandemic, said this week that the actual number of new daily cases of infection in France is probably closer to 100,000 a day, and is likely to continue to increase.France was slow to react to a steady increase in Covid-19 cases that began in the summer, epidemiologists say.

“This is not nearly enough,” said Paris-based epidemiologist Martin Blachier . “People continue to have social interactions.” “That number could look very different depending on the country’s testing strategy,” said Catherine Hill, a French epidemiologist and biostatistician.
