France is now under a partial lockdown until Dec. 1 in order to fight spiking COVID-19 cases

The nation was placed under a nightly curfew from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. two weeks ago, but that hasn’t been enough to curb a skyrocketing number of COVID-19 cases. The curfew initially concerned Paris and eight other major cities, and was then extended to 38 more locations, in addition to overseas territories, a week ago. But as of Oct. 27, there were 33,417 active cases in the country. Along with Spain and Germany, France is currently a COVID-19 hot spot.

Starting on Nov. 30, all of France will be placed under a partial lockdown and all non-essential businesses will have to be closed. Schools, nurseries and businesses deemed essential, such as pharmacies and supermarkets, will remain open. People are encouraged to work from home, but won’t be banned from going to the office.

French distributors such as Gaumont, which was willing to release movies despite the evening curfew, will be putting those plans on ice until the situation improves. Some of the biggest releases that were expected over the next few months included Gaumont’s “Aline, the Voice of Love,” a movie inspired by Celine Dion’s life.

Despite the restrictions on exhibition, the production sector is faring better. Film shoots, for example, are expected to receive special permission to carry on during the lockdown.

Drake Put Raisins in the What Now?Canada’s saddest mans, Drake, threw a big ol’ birthday for himself over the weekend, celebrating turning 34 with a big group of people, none of whom appeared to be wearing masks (that’s not my life, I’m sure they got tested!). Many of these people enjoyed all that Drake had to offer, including a robust and strange menu for the evening that featured one particular dish with one particular ingredient that, I’m sorry, doesn’t make much sense. \n
