Curfew comes into force – France exceeds the million mark for coronavirus infections

In France, the total number of confirmed corona infections rises to more than one million. France is the seventh country in the world to exceed this mark. As the second EU country after Spain, France exceeded the threshold of one million corona infections on Friday. The French health authorities said the record number of 42,032 new infections had been recorded in the past 24 hours. The total number of detected infections rose to 1,041,075. A total of 34,508 infected people have died since the beginning of the pandemic in France. Around 67 million people live in the country. On Wednesday, Spain was the first EU country to officially register more than one million corona infections. However, Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez said on Friday that the total number of people infected was actually over three million. At the beginning of the pandemic, many infections went undetected, Sánchez said.

Great Britain is on it too The list of risk areas is getting longer

France is the seventh country in the world to have exceeded the one million confirmed infections – after the USA (now 8.4 million), India (7.8 million), Brazil (5.3 million), Russia (1, 5 million) as well as Argentina and Spain with just over a million each.

Night curfew in large parts of the country

From this Saturday on, the night curfew will be extended in France and will affect around two thirds of the country’s residents. It then applies in 54 departments and the French overseas territory of French Polynesia. The restriction, which comes into effect on Friday at midnight, affects a total of 46 million people, two-thirds of all French people. French President Emmanuel Macron said the French would have to live with the coronavirus until at least next summer. He stressed that there were no plans to cut back on the recently decided curfews. The epidemic can only be slowed down through restrictions. But it is still too early to say whether France is heading for a full or partial lockdown. The head of the public hospitals in Paris warned of a second corona wave, which could become worse than the first in spring. For some months now, many have been of the opinion that there is no real second wave – but the opposite is more the case, warned Martin Hirsch on Friday on the French broadcaster RTL.

“Everything is on the table”

Prime Minister Jean Castex warned of “even tougher” restrictions in the event that all the measures already taken do not work. “Everything is on the table,” said the epidemiologist Arnaud Fontanet from the Science Council, an advisory body to the French government. The corona virus is making “the rounds much faster than in spring”, although it is “exactly the same” virus, said Fontanet on the broadcaster BFM TV. He still hopes that a nationwide curfew like the one during the first wave can be avoided “because we are doing everything we can to avoid it,” continued Fontanet. Local curfews are “part of the options”. In order to be able to extend emergency measures in particularly affected hotspots beyond a month or to impose them nationwide, the government wants to extend the nationwide health emergency up to and including February 16 of next year. To do this, however, it needs Parliament’s approval. The National Assembly is supposed to hold special sessions on Saturday and Sunday to discuss the draft law passed by the government.
