As France is back into nationwide lockdown until December 15, 2020, some people are already wondering about the post-lockdown process. What are the leads considered? How would the Holidays occur in France? Could lockdown be extended beyond December 15? We try to give you as many answers as we can.
As the deadline of December 15 is just around the corner, France will not meet the 5,000 new Covid cases per day goal enabling to exit lockdown, as Jean Castex explained this Thursday December 10 during a press brief. The situation forced the government to toughen up measures planned, like curfew starting from 8 p.m. from December 15 and no exemption on New Year's Eve.
This December 10, Jean Castex addressed the coronavirus epidemic evolution in France and announced the next step of the progressive lockdown exit strategy. Even though curfew will be exceptionally lifted on December 24 in the evening for Christmas Eve, there will be no exemption for New Year's Eve. The French will have to comply with curfew on December 31 from 8 p.m.
As all stores are to reopen starting November 28, a new health protocol will be instated. During a press brief held on November 26, deputy minister to the Minister of the Economy entrusted with SMBs Alain Griset has explained the reinforced health protocol. 8sqm per customer limit, one-way traffic when possible... Here are the new rules to comply with within stores.
With the Holidays just around the corner, the World Health Organization has expressed their views on the matter. WHO recommends curtailed Christmas, saying “avoiding family gatherings would be the safest bet”.
Will France provide massive screening to save Christmas? This Tuesday November 17, 2020, French politician Laurent Wauquiez announced a massive screening campaign in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes before Christmas, that is to say, they will screen 8 million inhabitants. As for the French government, they are thinking about a massive screening for the entire population in December.
As Holidays are just around the corner, the executive is stuck in a difficult situation: how to fight the spread of Covid-19 while allowing families to reunite for Christmas? Even though the hope to be together prevails and seems more crucial than ever for France, after a difficult year, trips between regions and especially celebrations make members of the government fear the worst.
