France Set for Curfew Hours As COVID Infection Rate Remains High (+Video)

TEHRAN (Tasnim) – France replaced its stay-at-home order with a night curfew, with cultural venues as well as restaurants still being closed.

Tuesday brought new freedoms for people in France because it was the end of a stay-at-home order. This had meant that, around the clock, people could only venture out for a limited time and for essential trips, to shop, or to exercise. But that was replaced instead with a nightly curfew. From 8:00 p.m until 6:00 a.m. people can only go out for work, on official business, or for medical reasons.

France has registered 2,445,511 cases of the coronavirus, with 59,185 deaths related to the disease, according to data complied by Johns Hopkins University.
