  China News Agency, Paris, April 25 (Reporter Li Yang) On the 25th local time, the cumulative number of confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia in France was close to 5.5 million.

French Prime Minister Castay said on the same day that he would make every effort to curb the spread of the mutant new crown virus in France.

  French Prime Minister Castel went to Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport on the 25th to inspect immigration control work.

Beginning on the 24th of this month, France has strengthened its anti-epidemic supervision of people entering from India, Brazil, Argentina, Chile and South Africa.

All immigrants from the above-mentioned countries must be quarantined after they arrive in France.

  Castel said that immigrants from severely affected countries must undergo quarantine after initial identity verification and virus testing.

He revealed that he has personally checked the effectiveness of the strengthened immigration control measures.

He also demanded to protect the health and safety of citizens returning to France.

  Castel said that he must do his best to curb the spread of the mutant new crown virus in France.

He pointed out that the spread of mutated viruses found in Brazil and South Africa in France is showing a downward trend, but the public must continue to be vigilant against mutated viruses.

French officials have taken all corresponding precautions.

  French government spokesman Attar said on the 25th that the specific timetable for France's "unblocking" will be announced by President Macron in the near future, and this timetable may be determined at the official response meeting on the 28th.

He emphasized that this "unblocking" is a gradual work and will not be completed "overnight".

  Due to the worsening of the epidemic in India, French officials stated on the evening of the 25th that France plans to provide oxygen assistance to India in the next few days, and will also assist ventilators and other equipment.

There were nearly 350,000 newly diagnosed cases in India on the 25th, and there have been more than 300,000 new cases in a single day for 4 consecutive days.
