France has imposed curfews on 15 "departments" in the northeast and southeast.
This curfew is being introduced from Saturday. Pakistan's online Dawn quoted Reuters as saying the curfew would take effect at 8pm instead of 6pm. "We have decided on 15 departments," government spokesman Gabriel Attal told local TFI television.
We will review the consequences of this curfew in advance. If the situation worsens in other areas, the necessary decisions will be made. France has the highest number of people infected with the corona virus in Western Europe.
A total of 26 lakh 20 thousand 425 people have been infected in the country so far. 64 thousand 632 people died.
