Jean Castex assures him: "the situation does not justify" a third confinement to date. The Prime Minister, who provided an update on the coronavirus epidemic on Thursday evening at a press conference, justified the government's decision not to proceed with an additional turn of the screw. "Containment must be considered as a last resort. The situation does not justify it to date," said the tenant of Matignon. But he warned all the same: "If we are forced to do so, we would not hesitate to take our responsibilities. Our objective is not to delay this deadline but to do everything to avoid it."
