He was singled out last week by Olivier Véran, the Minister of Health.
The Rhône department is one of the red zones where the coronavirus is actively circulating.
In Lyon itself, "the incidence rate has doubled in three weeks", indicates the ARS, regional health agency.
It rose to more than 213 cases per 100,000 inhabitants in Lyon itself.
That is four times more than the alert threshold set to classify a department in the red zone.
And at 242 in Villeurbanne.
The Rhône prefect had until Saturday to announce new measures to limit the spread of the epidemic.
The representative of the State therefore handed in his copy, presenting the changes to come this Monday afternoon.
In order to "preserve the economic fabric", it was decided to the greatest surprise not to touch the hours of bars and restaurants, unlike the measures taken in Bordeaux for example.
The wearing of the compulsory mask is, on the other hand, reinforced throughout the metropolis of Lyon.
