In his intervention on TF1 and France 2 channels, Wednesday, Emmanuel Macron announced the establishment of a curfew.

This measure aims, according to him, to reduce social contact in the private circle, while avoiding having to resort to new confinement.

"It would be disproportionate to redefine, we must reduce the private contacts which are the most dangerous", declared the head of state Emmanuel Macron, during his intervention on TF1 and France 2, Wednesday.

It thus justifies the establishment of a curfew in nine major cities, a new flagship measure against the coronavirus epidemic.
