Castex tries to reassure from Guyana, still confined

Prime Minister Jean Castex, on a trip to Guyana on Sunday, assured that "the developed use of wearing a mask in enclosed spaces is under study". With this visit, he also wanted to assure his support of the French in Guyana. Jean Castex assured Sunday from Cayenne that "the Republic has spared no resources" for the region facing the coronavirus epidemic, welcoming that "the epidemiological situation seems to be improving" but calling for "vigilance". Guyana, still under a health emergency like Mayotte, had 6,102 confirmed coronavirus cases and 26 deaths on Sunday.

The Polish conservative head of state Andrzej Duda and the liberal mayor of Warsaw are neck and neck. Andrzej Duda received 51.0% of the vote in front of Rafal Trzaskowski (49.0%), according to the third and last poll of the Ipsos institute, whose estimated margin of error is one percentage point.
