Starting from June 2, 2020 France will enter the very expected phase 2 of its containment exit. From that day, restaurants, cafés, and bars can reopen in green area. In orange area, like Paris and the rest of Île-de-France, only terraces are allowed to open. The 100-km limit is also lifted. A relief for many French people, impatient to be free again.

Among these 109 clusters, “64% including over 5 cases. […] They include people in need and vulnerable mostly (19% in social and insertion centers, and 6% in vulnerable communities), health centers (22%), and more widely companies (20% private and public companies” the Health Agency said.
