Paris (CNSNews.com) – The French government is reportedly considering imposing a third national coronavirus lockdown, as the number of people receiving a vaccine continues to climb, reaching almost two million as of this week.
President Emmanuel Macron will not make a decision until the end of this week, after assessment information about the impact on the COVID-19 pandemic of a nighttime curfew, which was introduced in November, is available. Macron is also reported to be awaiting the results of figures showing the number of positive cases over seven days per 100,000 inhabitants, which will make it possible to assess the virus’ circulation.
