It is a special evening dedicated to the coronavirus that TF1 set up this Thursday evening, thus upsetting its usual programs. Edouard Philippe is the main guest of a joint TF1 - LCI program scheduled just after the 8 p.m. newspaper and scheduled to last an hour and a half. The Prime Minister will answer questions from Gilles Bouleau and health experts.
LIVE - Coronavirus: follow the situation Thursday, April 2
A program which, according to the director of information for the TF1 group, Thierry Thuillier, invited on Thursday from Europe 1, meets a need for explanation. "When we look, listen and receive messages from French, there are still a lot of unanswered questions. We will not have come to the end of it this evening, whatever happens, but questions about the deconfinement, on the wearing of the mask, economic questions remain ... And we thought that the person most qualified to answer us, it was the Prime Minister, in a premium, and not only in a newspaper where it is shorter, "he explains to Culture Media's microphone on Europe 1.
Edouard Philippe duplex
Viewers will address the head of government in the form of recorded questions. It will not be on set but in duplex, as has been the case for all political leaders since the start of containment.
To answer questions will also be present a general practitioner, the head of the infectious diseases department at the Saint-Antoine hospital in Paris, Karine Lacombe, the emergency doctor at the Lariboisière hospital, Anthony Chauvin, as well as the deputy director of the National Reference Center for Respiratory Viruses of the Institut Pasteur, Vincent Enouf. "We tried to have the whole range of health personnel to be able to answer all the questions that will be asked of us," comments Thierry Thuillier.

The presenters of the channel mobilized during the April holidays
The show, produced by David Pujadas and TF1, will be presented by Gilles Bouleau. "It is a continuation of the news so it was logical for it to be Gilles Bouleau", explains the news director who specifies that the presenters of the chain agreed to not take a vacation in April so that "everyone is on the bridge in this moment of crisis so special for France".
