“According to information received today, a curfew from December 18 is now under consideration.

The government would have asked insurers to calculate the compensation costs of traders forced to prematurely close their activity during the Christmas holidays, ”says the author of this text published among a series of articles with fanciful assertions - such as recommending so-called “natural” solutions to prevent Covid-19.

, a source in the field of insurance denies "any contact or request of this type from the government" and denounces "a fake news".

A government source also confirms that "no simulation scenario for the closure of shops has been discussed, and even less with insurance" and that "the curfew scenario is not at all envisaged".

On Wednesday 24 November, at the end of the Defense Council, the government spokesperson, Gabriel Attal, listed the three flagship measures planned against the worsening of the epidemic: "The acceleration of the vaccine booster campaign", “Strengthening the health pass” and “strengthening barrier measures” such as wearing a mask.

A strategy confirmed by the Minister of Health, Olivier Véran, during his press briefing this Thursday: “I will not announce to you any confinement, nor curfew, nor early closing of stores, nor restriction of movement.
