Two of France’s largest cities, where COVID-19 infection rates are accelerating even faster than the national outbreak of new cases, are enduing barriers to public activity as the French government seeks a new national blockade.
The strictest restrictions announced Monday in Marseille and Bordeaux were a reaction to a request by the French minister to take further action to halt the growing number of infections, which were putting pressure on regional fitness services.
In Bordeaux, the region’s senior government official announced a ban on meetings of more than 10 people in public parks, along the city’s picturesque river and on the beaches.
Fun fairs, antique fairs and neighborhood parties are also prohibited. The new regulations also restrict the duration of giant public gatherings to no more than 1,000 people, below the national threshold of 5,000 people. This restriction covers venues such as stadiums and concert halls, as well as events.
To counter the party, Bordeaux’s cafes and restaurants will no longer serve visitors of status and will not play outdoor music. It is forbidden to dance in public places, adding weddings. Drinking alcohol in public is also prohibited in Bordeaux, a center of the French wine industry.
The regional government has also called on Bordeaux to restrict the personal circle of family gatherings, especially weddings, to up to 10 people.
The Gironde region, which includes Bordeaux, was largely saved from the first wave of infections in France that hit hospitals and led to a two-month closure from March, but is now experiencing a strong buildup of positive tests, at rates above the national average, especially in the 15-44 age group.
In March, France’s largest city after Paris, the regional government announced a series of restrictions and the cancellation of an 11-day foreign festival, as well as an increasing number of places where the mask will be mandatory outdoors.
The most sensible government official in the Marseille region has promised to temporarily close bars and restaurants that do not practice nighttime curfews and to serve consumers who rise up. immigrant groups.
Student parties are prohibited and school trips are suspended. Shows and other occasions in public corridors, tents and sports stadiums are limited to 1000 people, who must be seated and separated.
France is grapping with the double headache of trying to revive its COVID-hit economy while curbing the steady increase in infections, which extends to the summer months when tourists let their guard down and recover from a build-up of evidence.
The French fitness firm announced Saturday that the country had crossed the threshold of 10,000 new ones across the country in a 24-hour record.

Stricter and stricter en application of restrictions is definitely mandatory to avoid combating the unmanageable Covid-19 virus in France or to face more unacceptable consequences.
However, France has conducted 8 million PCR tests with a positivity rate of 3%.

The relentless reversal of the protests and riots of the yellow vest at the time of the duel when France is busy counting more than 31,000 dead.
