The President of the Republic could announce a third confinement this week. Travel will again be severely limited.
The announcement of a reconfinement seems imminent. According to the Journal du Dimanche, Emmanuel Macron could speak on television Wednesday evening, a few hours after a new defense council.
The government spokesperson, however, recalls that nothing has been decided. Gabriel Attal said: "There is no decision taken, and the next few days will be decisive". The executive is giving itself a few more days to take stock of the curfew, which was brought forward to 6 p.m. for all French people on January 16.
If the number of people in intensive care remains below 3,000, the number of new cases is progressing slowly but surely. Above all, it is the spread of the British variant that worries. Medical epidemiologists fear a tsunami of cases, with this more contagious variant. The government is therefore in a hurry to carry out a preventive and not a curative reconfinement.
Travel would be severely limited, subject again all day to derogatory reasons that we are beginning to know well, starting with work if it cannot be done remotely. This reconfinement would begin just before the February holidays, thus preventing travel between regions during this period.
A partial closure of shops is also planned, raising fears of a closure of dealerships and a new halt to driving school training.
