Emmanuel Macron considered Wednesday that it was necessary to go towards "more restrictions" in places where the Covid-19 "circulates too quickly", like those put in place in the Bouches-du-Rhône and in Paris, but excluded a limitation of movements.

While more than 18,000 confirmed cases of people with Covid-19 have been recorded in France over the past 24 hours, according to the latest figures, Emmanuel Macron estimated in an interview Wednesday on TF1 and France 2 that additional "restrictions" should be considered in areas of intense virus circulation.

As in Paris and Marseille

"In places where things circulate too quickly, in particular where it circulates a lot among the elderly, and where we see more and more beds occupied in emergencies, we must move towards more restrictions, like the one we was able to know, for example, in the Bouches-du-Rhône or in Paris and the inner suburbs ", argued the Head of State in this televised interview granted after a visit to several of the municipalities affected by the floods of October 2.
