While more than 18,700 cases of coronavirus have been diagnosed in the past 24 hours, Emmanuel Macron said on Wednesday that there would be “more restrictions” in the coming days in areas where the virus is circulating too fast.

"This morning I held a Defense Council on the subject," announced Emmanuel Macron live from Saint-Martin-Vésubie, in the Alpes-Maritimes.

Announcements will be made Thursday by the Minister of Health, Olivier Véran, during his weekly update, he added.

"The epidemic continues to mount," continued the president.

"There will be new restrictions in places where it circulates too quickly, especially among the elderly," explained Emmanuel Macron.
