The Minister of Health Olivier Véran announced the measures decided during the Defense Council organized in the morning around Emmanuel Macron, while the epidemic situation is causing concern in several regions.
An extension of the curfew is thus envisaged from January 2 in twenty departments.
No re-containment, but an advanced two-hour curfew, at 6 p.m., in part of the east of the country: to contain the Covid-19 epidemic, the government is planning additional measures where the virus is circulating rapidly.
Twenty departments are at risk of seeing the night curfew advanced from January 2, according to a list sent to the press Tuesday evening by the Ministry of Health.
