The exercise promises to be perilous. Tuesday April 28, at 3 p.m., Édouard Philippe must present to the National Assembly the deconfinement plan as well as digital innovations in the fight against the Covid-19 epidemic. 

Concretely, it is a question of determining the conditions under which the French will be able to resume their daily life from May 11.

In the aftermath of this presentation, there will be a two-and-a-half-hour debate followed by a vote on "the national strategy for the deconfinement plan" which has tense the opposition parties. Parliamentarians demanded an additional delay of 24 hours minimum to examine the government's plan. But the conference of presidents in the National Assembly rejected this request Monday.

According to the assessment communicated Monday April 27 by the general direction of the health (DGS), the epidemic of Covid-19 made 437 deaths these last 24 hours in France, for a total assessment of 23 293 deaths in total.
