French MPs approve lockdown measures

Unread post by AHE »

The French National Assembly on Thursday overwhelmingly approved new nationwide lockdown measures a day after President Emmanuel Macron said a they were necessary since the second wave of the virus was "likely to be deadlier than the first".

France’s lower house of parliament approved the new measures by a vote of 399 to 27

French schools will require all students aged six and over to wear face masks in class

The new nationwide lockdown would be enforced initially until December 1, Macron said

But the government's scientific adviser, Professor Jean-François Delfraissy, said on Thursday that the lockdown may have to extend beyond December 1.

"By December 1, we will not be at 5,000 contaminations per day. I can tell you that straight away today. We will need more time," said Delfraissy, who heads the scientific council that advises the French government on the pandemic.

Already more than 3,000 intensive care patients are forcing hospitals to scramble for beds, and "no matter what we do, nearly 9,000 people will be in intensive care by mid-November," he warned.

France on Wednesday reported 244 new virus deaths over the past 24 hours
