Emmanuel Macron will speak on Monday at 8:00 p.m. on television on the new measures to fight the growing coronavirus epidemic, said the Elysee.
In this declaration from his office at the Elysée Palace, the Head of State should announce the measures which will be decided during a lunch with the members of the Defense Council, said the Elysée Palace.
He could mention in particular possible containment measures, which the French are questioning, while the balance sheet of the epidemic climbed Sunday to 127 dead and 5,423 confirmed cases in France.
Emmanuel Macron must also decide whether or not to maintain the second round of the municipal elections.
The head of state took the floor Thursday evening to announce the closure of schools and explain to the French the seriousness of the health crisis.
