As some French areas are placed in weekend lockdown, others are placed in 24/7 lockdowns, and inhabitants involved wonder what derogatory trips are allowed. What can you do or not during lockdown? Here are valid motives.

Faced with increasing coronavirus indicators in some areas in France, the strategy is now to implement strengthened measures on a local basis in order to prevent a new nationwide lockdown. Therefore, Alpes Maritimes, Dunkirk and its interconnected communities are now subject to weekend lockdown in addition to the week curfew. In Île-de-France, and Hauts-de-France, a 24/7 lockdown is instated since March 20.
