BREAKING: France has gone into lockdown again until at least December 1st

The French President Emmanuel Macron has broadcast to the nation that the country goes into lockdown again from midnight. It’s aimed at stopping the acceleration of Covid-19 cases, and will last until at least December 1st.

Similar to Ireland, all bars, restaurants and non-essential businesses will close immediately, however schools will remain open for students and teachers.

Farms and some factories will also be allowed to remain open with some public services also open in an effort to keep the economy afloat.

Macron said: “The virus is being transmitted across France at a speed that even the most pessimistic did not predict.

“Like last spring, you will be able to leave your home only for work, for a doctor’s visit, to help a relative, do essential shopping or go out shortly for air.”

“If in two weeks, we have the situation under better control, we will be able to re-evaluate things and hopefully open some businesses, in particular for the Christmas holiday.

“I hope we’ll be able to celebrate Christmas and the New Year with family.”

遅きに失した感は否めませんが、早期に状況が改善されることを期待します。もちろん、他のEU諸国もです。

一方、日本。本日の速報段階では、愛知県の数値は名古屋を中心に急上昇しています。これ以上の悪化を待つことなく、即刻の対策を打ち出すべきでしょう。それが感染拡大を抑え込む手段の一つだと思います。
