Seasoned athletes or those who had just bought running sneakers on Amazon will be disappointed. The mayor of Paris, Anne Hidalgo, and the prefect of police, Didier Lallement, decided on Tuesday to strengthen the rules of confinement by limiting individual sports. Especially jogging.

#Coronavirus | The Prefect of Police, in consultation with the Mayor of Paris, strengthens the rules of confinement

"Reinforced control measures"

From this Wednesday, outings for individual sports activities
will no longer be authorized between 10 a.m. and 7 p.m. throughout the territory of Paris. They therefore remain authorized from 7 p.m. to 10 a.m., "at the time when traffic on the streets is lowest," said the police headquarters in a press release.

“Last weekend, measures to control walkers and sportspeople were already reinforced in the capital, particularly in the Bois de Vincennes and the Bois de Boulogne, in unfenced green spaces, in certain public places and along the Parisian canals, ”notes the PP. And to specify: "The mayor of Paris and the prefect of Police again remind that the exits, even authorized, must be strictly limited to what is urgent and essential, and cannot become grounds for multiple daily trips nor lead to favor groupings in public space ”.
