The French president took advantage of a sunday star-time television interview to announce curfew, which will be in force for 4 weeks from midnight on Saturday and will affect nine locations, adding Marseille, Lyon, Toulouse and Lille.
Macron said:
The stage is worried but not out of control. We are in a wave of moments that runs throughout Europe.

He said:
We have to do something. We want to prevent the spread of the virus. We want to decrease the number of social contacts . . . festive contacts that take place. It will take a lot of effort from everyone, but it’s necessary.
