France will be under a strict 6pm curfew for at least 15 days to fight the spread of Covid-19, the country’s Prime Minister announced yesterday.
Jean Castex also revealed strict new controls for those arriving in France from countries outside the European Union.
Starting on Monday, they must produce a PCR test with negative results and self-isolate for seven days followed by a new, negative test.
The French government is trying to avoid a third lockdown with partial measures like curfews which Castex called both “preventative” and “reactive”.
