To continue to fight against the coronavirus epidemic, deconfinement will not be "regionalized" but it will adapt to the "realities of each territory", announced on Thursday the Elysée after a meeting between Emmanuel Macron and the mayors.

"Territorialized" deconfinement
The deconfinement must be prepared with the mayors, insisted Emmanuel Macron, according to remarks reported by the Élysée, and the national framework will have to be adapted and "territorialized", but not by regions, "which do not correspond to the realities of the territories" .
CORONAVIRUS ESSENTIALS
> Can France hope for a more favorable scenario than Italy?
> Are women and people with blood type O more resistant?
> Are certain serious forms linked to a genetic factor?
> How will the distribution of masks take place in France?
> Back to school on May 11: under what conditions?
> How to keep sleep during confinement?
If the hypothesis of a deconfinement differentiated according to geographic zones is adopted, will the government put in place traffic restrictions between zones with different rules? No precise indication has been delivered at this stage.
"Avoid interregional transport"
But for the Director General of Health, Jérôme Salomon, "what should be avoided are interregional transport and population exchanges between areas that are massively affected and areas that are little affected".
The gradual return of children to school from May 11 will also be "on a principle of parental volunteering and without obligation". But "it will probably be necessary to impose the wearing of a mask" in public transport.
