Covid-19: French PM Jean Castex announces new stricter restrictions COVID-19 Infection Control Working Group
French Prime Minister Jean Castex has announced that the country will impose a series of tighter restrictions from Sunday onward, including border control, in an effort to contain the Covid-19 pandemic from further spreading. Jean Castex
“We will do everything we can to avoid a new lock down,” the Prime Minister told the media here on Friday after a defense council on the pandemic.
The French government will impose a nationwide 6pm curfew for at least 15 days starting on Saturday to stem the spread of coronavirus, Prime Minister Jean Castex said Thursday. Health authorities will also begin offering a Covid-19 vaccine to those at high risk from Monday regardless of age.
Most of France has been under an 8pm curfew, with some parts of the country, especially in the hard-hit east, already under the stricter 6pm curfew to stem the tide of coronavirus infections.
Castex said a much-feared infection surge following the year-end holidays had not happened, but said a new lockdown could be imposed “without delay” if the health situation were to deteriorate badly. Garden of Life
The situation in France is “under control”, he said, but remains “fragile”.
Schools will remain open but indoor sports activities have again been banned for now. As part of the strategy to keep schools open, Castex said at least one million Covid-19 tests per month would be carried out in schools.

“It will probably be necessary to move towards confinement,” he said.
“There is an emergency … the faster you take a decision, the more effective it is and can be of limited duration.”
