French President Emmanuel Macron has announced that it will enter into a second national blockade by December 1st.



It is based on the judgment that medical facilities have reached their limit, with 58% of intensive care facilities being filled with COVID-19 patients.



[Emanuel Macron/President of France: We need a blockade.

Diagnosis, protective equipment and treatment facilities are all lacking.

Stronger action is required.]



As a result, all non-essential business operations in France will be suspended, and a certificate must be submitted to travel.



It is forbidden to go out except for the purchase of daily necessities, exercise and treatment, but the school is open.



Germany also announced a four-week limited blockade starting on the 2nd of next month.



By the end of November, restaurants, bars, cinemas, theaters and other recreational facilities must be closed.



Stores and schools are open, and restaurants are allowed to be sold out.



With Corona 19 re-proliferating, Europe's corona 19 confirmed cases exceeded 2.8 million and deaths exceeded 250,000.



Stock markets in the US and Europe showed a sharp decline of around 3% to 4% due to the blockade following the spread of Corona 19.



International oil prices also fell sharply, with Western Texas heavy oil prices falling 5.5% per barrel.
