(Fighting New Coronary Pneumonia) France has over 2.6 million confirmed cases, deploys 100,000 police officers in France on New Year's Eve
China News Agency, Paris, December 30 (Reporter Li Yang) On the 30th local time, the cumulative number of confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia in France exceeded 2.6 million.
As New Year's Eve is approaching, the entire law will deploy 100,000 police officers to wait for it to supervise people's compliance with the curfew.
The epidemic data released by the French Ministry of Health that evening showed that France had 26,457 newly confirmed cases on the 30th, and the total number of confirmed cases exceeded 2.6 million, reaching 2,600,498.
The number of deaths from new coronary pneumonia in France is now 64,381, with 303 new deaths.
There are now 24,593 inpatients with the new crown in France, of which 2,661 are severely ill.
French government spokesman Attar said that evening, because the level of new crown virus infection is still high, it is unlikely that cultural facilities such as theaters and cinemas will resume opening on January 7 next year.
He said that French Minister of Culture Bachelot is actively communicating with people in the cultural circles.
When talking about vaccination, Atal said that vaccination is an important progress in fighting the epidemic, and vaccination is a key step to return to normal life.
He said that government personnel were not vaccinated because the current number of vaccines is limited, and priority groups are still vaccinated first.
The French Ministry of the Interior said on the 30th that the entire law will deploy 100,000 police on New Year’s Eve to strictly supervise people’s performance of the curfew, while preventing unauthorized gatherings and urban violence.
The police will check whether people are observing the curfew in urban centers such as the Champs Elysées in Paris.
The French police are prepared to crack down on unauthorized gatherings in public and private places, especially illegal gatherings in private places that are difficult to manage. Measures should also be taken to stop them.
French officials are very worried that the New Year’s Eve party will lead to an increase in cluster infections.
The Paris Police Department issued a statement on the 30th, saying that in order to ensure the implementation of the curfew on New Year's Eve, Paris public transport will significantly reduce its capacity during the evening curfew on the 31st and only serve passengers who really need to travel.
On the 31st, the last train of many lines of the Paris Metro will depart at 8 pm.
