A “preventive” curfew from 6 p.m. throughout the country

This is the cruel ritual that the country now expects almost every week.

Jean Castex arrived accompanied by an armada of ministers, this Thursday at 6 p.m., to launch the government press conference on measures to combat the coronavirus.

The head of government was especially worried about "the emergence of new, more contagious strains" of Covid-19.

Because despite the relative stability of the epidemic, it is the fear of this famous British variant that has pushed the executive to "toughen" the measures, in a "logic of preventive braking".

The government has therefore chosen to generalize the curfew to the entire metropolitan territory and for at least two weeks.

To know all the measures to fight against the epidemic, it is here and in the video above.

The Blues launch their World Cup perfectly by offering themselves to Norway 

They typed Norway in.

After a very complicated start to 2021, the France team took everyone on the wrong foot by delivering a great match for their entry into the Egyptian World Cup.

The Blues have largely won (28-24) against Norway, vice-champion of the double title.

What to give a big 

boost

 of confidence to this group for the rest of the competition.

If he had known Aymeric Le Gall "would have wet his neck before the match".

Our sports journalist looks back on this crazy match here.
