After announcing that students could continue to go to class from Friday, the launch date of the new confinement to stem the coronavirus pandemic, Emmanuel Macron also spoke on Wednesday evening of the situation of seniors.

With, again, a relief for the population.

In strict compliance with the rules

Unlike last spring, visits to retirement homes and nursing homes will be authorized, announced the President of the Republic during his televised address.

The visits will be made "in strict compliance with sanitary rules", and must make it possible "to prevent the human tragedies that we experienced in the spring from arising, that single people, at the end of their life, find themselves totally isolated" .

During the first confinement, the suffering generated by the stopping of visits to the oldest people had been particularly pointed out.
