Macron under growing pressure as new Covid measures are imposed on Paris
CNN
France will impose new coronavirus restrictions in 16 areas around the country, including the greater Paris and Nice areas, the country's prime minister announced Thursday in an attempt to contain a third wave of Covid-19 sweeping the country.
Jean Castex said France recorded 35,000 new infections Thursday, a rise of 23.6% in the last week, and that the variant first identified in the UK accounts for three quarters of cases. The French Prime Minister also said that one person is entering intensive care every four minutes with Covid-19 in the country. Even more worrying, he said, is that the people being hospitalized with the disease are younger and healthier compared to previous waves.More Related News
