27 October 2020 The French government foresees a national lockdown for one month starting from midnight on Thursday: this is what BFM-TV reports on the eve of the intervention of President Emmanuel Macron.
The issuer specifies that the lockdown will be more flexible than that of last spring.
France recorded 523 new coronavirus deaths, the highest since last April.
These are the data provided by the Ministry of Health, which also counted 33,417 new cases in 24 hours, an increase of 60% compared to last Tuesday.
It should be noted that the figure on deaths not only includes deaths reported in hospitals in the last 24 hours but also includes 253 deaths in retirement homes in the last 4 days.
