After more than two months under cover, many French people are going back to work this morning - French people who have "ants in their legs" and want to "start again from the front", according to Le Figaro - who quotes in particular the cafetiers and restaurateurs, whose activities are particularly threatened.

"In France, cafes yes, StopCovid no," headlines the Swiss daily Le Temps, which notes that the reopening of cafes and restaurants today is eagerly awaited by the French, but that the application for tracking infected people causes on the other hand, a lot of reluctance: only 45% of French people say they are ready to install it on their phone, according to a poll.
