A capital in the red zone "heightened alert" in the face of the coronavirus epidemic.

To fight against the spread of the disease, the Minister of Health announced new measures according to the regions this week, leaving the prefects to detail the modalities.

No gatherings of more than ten people

As of this Saturday, the gauge for events organized in the capital is thus lowered to 1,000 people, while gatherings of more than ten in public spaces are now prohibited.

This concerns the streets, parks or gardens: only events authorized by the prefecture can be held in compliance with health rules. 

While markets, stadiums and swimming pools remain open to everyone, sports halls and gymnasiums are now only accessible to high-level athletes and students in schools.

Theaters, museums or cinemas can continue to welcome the public provided a strict protocol is applied.
