In the next few weeks, the French will be banned from drinking in public places due to the danger of the spread of the coronavirus. This was stated by Prime Minister Jean Casteks, quoted by The Straits Times.
Presenting a plan for a new self-isolation regime in the French National Assembly, the prime minister condemned those who do not comply with epidemiological measures. He also stressed that control over their observance will be strengthened.
“When it comes to holiday gatherings and not following curfews or not wearing masks, we must prevent that. I asked the Minister of Internal Affairs to increase the number of police officers and gendarmes in order to monitor this, ”RIA Novosti quotes Kasteks.
The prime minister recalled that companies of more than six people are prohibited from gathering in public places. In addition, the authorities want to deny access to “a number of places favorable for mass gatherings.”
On March 31, French President Emmanuel Macron tightened restrictions due to the spread of infection. The quarantine regime, which operated in 19 regions of France, will now be expanded to all regions of the country. From next week, schools and kindergartens will be closed for three weeks, and the French will only be able to move within 10 kilometers of their home. Travel between regions will be limited.
