While the number of hospitalized patients remains well below the peak of the French epidemic in the spring, it is increasing, especially in spaces where the virus circulates at maximum intensity.
“Nothing in theory can be ruled out,” Macron told reporters when asked about a new national shutdown. “I’ve learned a lot from what we’ve been through for eight months if I say I completely excluded it.
Macron said the government was in favor of regional measures to prevent epidemics and would do everything imaginable to save it from a new national blockade through “learning to live with the virus. “France’s strict two-month blockade in the spring devastated its economy, but it was credited. with the strong slowdown of the virus.
France recorded more than 30,600 and showed deaths due to Covid-19, the third highest number of deaths in Europe after Britain and Italy. In addition, experts say all figures showed that the figures underestimate the true effect of the pandemic due to the limited number of tests and other factors.
Amid fears that France might be a new focus of viruses, Macron defended his government’s efforts to revive the economy and its control of the post-lockout period. During the summer, the French traveled the country to attend family gatherings and accused dance parties. to fuel the increase in cases.

He said it is “not logical” to close Europe’s borders, especially for the millions of employees in the EU exclusion zone who cross borders to go to work. By contrast, EU member Hungary announced friday that it would close its borders to foreigners. since Tuesday.
Speaking through a mask, he admitted that masks are “shameful, boring,” but called them a “reasonable restriction we settle for a while” to revive the economy.
