Macron warns of re-closing the borders between European countries to stop the rise in Corona injuries
Yesterday, French President Emmanuel Macron warned against re-closing the borders between the countries of the European Union, saying that this measure was ineffective and was counter-productive to stop the rise in infections with the emerging coronavirus (Covid-19). A day after the French authorities expanded the red zones to cover large parts of southern France, Macron instead called for European coordination and joint approaches to counter a second wave of the outbreak. "Closing the borders between two countries is meaningless when there are gatherings and active trading areas as we call them now, which are clearly defined," Macron added during his visit to a pharmaceutical factory. Macron warned that Europe has millions of workers who cross the border, as some of them travel between two regions without HIV infections in different countries, and it would be "absurd" to impede "daily and economic life." On Thursday, France recorded 6,111 new infections with the Coronavirus, which is the highest infection rate recorded since the end of March, which saw the imposition of a strict lockdown in France for a period of 55 days.
