(Fighting new crown pneumonia) Paris further tightens control measures, police force evacuation of people on the banks of the Seine in Paris
China News Agency, Paris, March 6 (Reporter Li Yang) The French capital Paris further tightened control measures on the 6th local time, and a number of large shopping malls were suspended under the new epidemic control requirements.
French police forcefully evacuated the crowd on the banks of the Seine in Paris that day.
According to the epidemic prevention and control requirements announced by the French authorities this week, non-food shopping malls with an area of more than 10,000 square meters should be closed from the 6th.
Paris officially announced on the 6th the list of large shopping malls that must be closed, and the categories affected mainly involve home improvement building materials and retail department stores.
A Leroy Merlin home improvement store in the suburbs of Paris was included in the list and will be closed from the same day.
The reporter saw a notice posted at the entrance of the mall, hoping that customers would shop through the mall's official website.
Since the notice of the suspension of business was only released on the 5th, many people only discovered that the mall had been closed after arriving at the mall on the 6th.
In Paris, non-food shopping malls with an area of more than 20,000 square meters were closed at the end of January, including famous shopping malls such as Paris Printemps Department Store and Galeries Lafayette.
With the closure of non-food shopping malls with an area of more than 10,000 square meters, the people's choices for shopping will be more limited.
At the same time, the cultural and dining venues of Paris still cannot be reopened.
According to the new anti-epidemic control requirements, the government will continue to strengthen the enforcement of existing anti-epidemic regulations.
Paris dispatched 4,400 police, military police and other law enforcement personnel this weekend to supervise the implementation of epidemic prevention measures.
The Seine River and downtown attractions in Paris have become key inspection locations.
The French police forcefully evacuated the crowds on the banks of the Seine in Paris that afternoon, causing concern.
The police stated in a statement that the people on the banks of the Seine had failed to comply with the epidemic prevention regulations for the new crown epidemic, especially the social distance cannot be guaranteed, so they must take corresponding actions.
The reporter saw at the scene that the police dispatched a large number of police forces to carry out related operations on the banks of the Seine. The police at the forefront repeatedly asked the people to leave immediately through loudspeakers and called on the people to understand the law enforcement actions.
There are police patrol boats on the Seine River, which are also supervising the evacuation of people.
The entire evacuation process was peaceful and there were no crowds on the banks of the Seine after the police evacuated.
The French Ministry of Health said that France had 23,306 new confirmed cases of new crowns in a single day on the 6th, with a total of 3,882,408 confirmed cases.
The number of deaths from new coronary pneumonia in France is now 88,444, with 170 new deaths.
