Bloomberg reports that France will announce stricter localized measures in an effort to contain the spread of Covid-19 on Thursday, and they may include lockdowns.
“Additional measures will be taken in a certain number of territories,” government spokesman Gabriel Attal told reporters on Wednesday after a cabinet meeting. They will target the economically-important Paris region as well as the north of the country, and could include lockdowns, he said.
But amid a sluggish vaccine roll out officials warned that wasn’t enough, and they turned to localized restrictions in Covid-19 hotspots, shuttering the northern city of Dunkirk last month and the region of Alpes-Maritimes in the south, including Nice, on the weekends.
The new measures that Attal alluded to on Wednesday would enter into force this weekend. He said that the curbs on domestic travel are under discussion, but a decision has yet to be made.
