"The Covid-19 epidemic is once again very active in our country": the words are from the Minister of Health, Olivier Véran, who announced, Thursday, September 17, during a press conference that the health situation in the agglomerations of Lyon and Nice will require "measures to curb the circulation of the virus in these territories".
"The evolution of epidemiological indicators has led us to adopt the same approach for the cities of Lyon and Nice as in Bordeaux and Marseille", continued the Minister.
In addition, "if the health situation does not improve" in Marseille and Guadeloupe, where measures have already been adopted, "it will no doubt be necessary to take even stronger measures", warned Olivier Véran, citing "the possible closing bars "or" banning public gatherings ".
