“If you’re in these areas you should follow the advice of the local authorities (town hall or prefecture).”
France is currently in the second stage of its government coronavirus response plan, which aims to contain COVID-19, according to the country’s Health Minister Olivier Véran.
The country has seen a total of 19 deaths as the virus rages on, with the government focused on responding with “proportionate” actions.
Amongst the new measures is a ban on gatherings of up to 1,000 people, which doesn’t affect protests, exams and public transportation.
