“We would rather live than survive,” was the opinion of the French interviewed through a newspaper, 20 Minutes, on Monday morning, a day about the new French truth of night curfews in major French metropolises.
President Trump said Monday that “other people are tired of Covid” and that other people in France, like others around the world, are seeing symptoms of fatigue due to a pandemic.
While many reluctant people agree to continue fighting the virus, some – those who paint in the dining room sector and already gain advantages from partial unemployment (unemployment gains advantages, which the government completes to succeed in the minimum wage) – are more skeptical about its effectiveness, would be a picture and would be how the hotel industry is once again back on the negative side of policies aimed at reducing population movements.
The evidence is in the statistics. Gérald Darmanin, Minister of the Interior, said more than 3,000 fines have been imposed across France for others disobeying regulations, as reported through Les Echos. Darmanin added that police had already verified the credentials of another 19,300 people and institutions to comply with regulations.
A recent survey conducted through EcoScope OpinionWay-Square for Les Echos and Classic Radio found that four out of 10 others said they believe other people were not following social estating regulations (barrier gestures) in cafes, restaurants and bars, on public transport. and with close friends and family.
The same survey shows that 8 out of 10 French people think the scenario will get worse and almost a portion (47%) thinks his monetary scenario will deteriorate.
The curfew is expected to last four to 6 weeks, until December 1 at the latest, and 22 million people.
Curfew starts at 21:00 and lasts until 6:00 a. m. and anyone on the street at this time will have to obtain a special exemption, by downloading a certificate, a form, on the Internet. These certificates were mandatory the strict closure of France in March for anyone who wishes to leave the house.
“People can keep working,” French Prime Minister Jean Castex said, but after nine o’clock at night, they will have to sign a new certificate through their boss.
People can also leave the space for fitness reasons, pressing the family circle for reasons such as assisting a user in case of need or childcare, or being cited by the judicial government or at the request of local government. If other people have trains or planes to take, they can do so, if they provide enough evidence in the form of a price ticket and others can download a certificate to walk the dog at night, if necessary.
Persons who leave the space with a valid certificate will be fined 135 euros (158 euros) and repeat offenders can be fined up to 3750 euros (4413 euros) or six months in prison.
Selective blocking affects all major French cities and their landscape: Paris Montpellier, Lille, Lyon, Grenoble, Toulouse, Saint-Etienne, Aix-Marseille and Rouen, all of which revel in the upper peaks in Covid-19 infection rates.
“We have to act. We will have to stop the spread of the virus,” President Macron said, quoted in The Local, adding that the move would prevent others from visiting restaurants and private homes late at night.
President Macron is also urging others not to meet in teams of more than six at any time, reflecting the well-known ‘six rule’ across the Channel in the UK.
However, this rule is only advice that the country and other people who violate it at home will not be penalized, it will only be implemented in restaurants.
The local reported that Health Minister Olivier Véran said Thursday that one patient every six minutes went into intensive care in France.
Macron added that France would have to deal with the virus at least until the summer of 2021.
