[quote=Anonymous]Back to France:

Big back and forth between hospitals and politicians right now.  Hospitals are saying we need the lockdown (including schools closures).  Politicians are saying we don't.  The thing is, France has been taking significant measures already -- no indoor dining, closed gyms, etc., and curfew after 6 PM so all bars and nightclubs closed.   The only thing really open has been schools.

And still cases are steadily rising.

Not imposing lockdown was decided by the president himself at the Health Defence Council meeting earlier this week. Macron was reported to be adamant that a lockdown could be avoided, if the current health rules were reinforced.

France has been on a nationwide 6pm-6am curfew since January 16th and working for home is the rule for everyone who can. Cafés, bars and restaurants have been banned from offering in-house services since autumn and can only do delivery or take away, while cinemas, museums and theatres remain completely closed along with gyms and ski lifts.

But even with all these measures, the country’s Covid-19 rates have been increasing steadily for weeks. France has gone from registering 18,000 cases weekly on average at the beginning of the new year to between 20,000 and 25,000 now. Hospitals have been under a sustained pressure since mid November, and never enjoyed a big drop in Covid patients as seen this summer.[/quote][/quote]
