For Nice and its region, the announcements should fall this Monday "at the end of the morning", in the face of the progression of the Covid-19 epidemic.

This is in any case what the deputy of the Alpes-Maritimes Marine Brenier said on Franceinfo on Sunday evening.

Information confirmed by Joseph Segura, mayor Les Républicains de Saint-Laurent-du-Var, on BFMTV: "The prefect will announce tomorrow, with Paris, what is happening for our department," he said.

Local confinement, reinforced curfew, movement restrictions… Uncertainty still hangs over the new restrictions that will be imposed in the Alpes-Maritimes.

No holidays in the region

“The decision is almost stopped.

We are moving towards containment at the weekend, "assured LR deputy Eric Ciotti in

, saying that he wanted" the high country, which is less affected by the epidemic, to be preserved.

The territory is experiencing a strong resurgence of the epidemic, with an incidence rate of over 700 positive cases per 100,000 inhabitants in Nice, or three times the national average, recalls Franceinfo.

Marine Brenier called "the responsibility of the French not to come during school holidays in our department".

A "heartbreak" for the deputy, "but we have the responsibility of our population, but also of those who come to us to guarantee them a form of health security", she added.
