As the lockdown exit grows more and more utopic so much that the markers of the epidemic are bad, this Thursday December 10, the French President implied the government was “making the necessary decisions to protect Christmas and families”. Is this the early announcement for partial lockdown exit, or is it going to be postponed past December 15? These issues will be addressed at 6 p.m. today, with Jean Castex’ Covid-19 press brief.
Has President Macron announced toughened up restrictions early? This Thursday December 10, 2020, interviewed from Brussels by BFMTV after a European Council on the Covid-19 pandemic health crisis, the French President confirmed the executive was “making the necessary decisions to protect Christmas and families”.
Tweet reads: “Emmanuel Macron: ‘“making the necessary decisions to protect Christmas and family Holidays’”.
If you take a closer look to the markers of the Covid-19 epidemic in France based on data reported by Santé Publique France, it is difficult to imagine “necessary decisions” that are less restrictive as the current restrictions. Before moving to phase 2 of the lockdown exit strategy – expected to start from December 15 – the head of state has undoubtedly laid the groundwork for partial lockdown exit.
According to news from BFMTV and RMC, curfew would start from 8 p.m. instead of 9 p.m. Furthermore, still according to their sources, lockdown exit for venues would be postponed because of the health situation. Prime Minister Jean Castex is to give further details as for the rest of the events this Thursday December 10 from 6 p.m.
