Residents of Paris and several other regions of France spent their first weekend under monthly restricted lock. Although the French government demanded that the rules not be as strict as before, the measures were criticized as deceptive.
A passport certificate posted online has been revoked by the French media for its complexity in that it was revoked by the Ministry of Interior within hours. For now, a simple proof of residence is required to walk within a 10-kilometer (6.2-mile) radius.
The form that the French government is still asking citizens to complete for longer distance travel – up to 30 kilometers (18.6 miles) was also inaccessible online due to technical mobility. The Sunday website simply stated, “Available soon. ”
Under the new restrictions, inaccessible shops have been closed but people do not have to spend most of the day at home. The government announced the measures on Thursday as the coronavirus was gaining momentum again in some parts of France.
The country reported 35,327 new confirmed cases on Saturday, when the number of COVID-19 patients in French intensive care units rose to 4,353, the highest number so far this year, the Ministry of Cheers.
“When you look at the numbers, they are unstable, and it becomes increasingly difficult as the virus circulates,” said Anaelle Aeschliman, a nurse at the Ambroise Pare clinic in the west bank of Paris. in Neuilly-sur- Seine told the Associated Press. “I admit I was a little disappointed that we are not locked across the country.”
The French government has made a concerted effort to prevent a third lockout across the country. President Emmanuel Macron said Friday that “lock-down” was not the appropriate term to describe the new regional constraints.
