These injunctions may have been hammered out for weeks, if not months by the executive, there are measures that the government simply cannot impose.

The closure of schools, announced this Wednesday evening by Emmanuel Macron, necessarily results in greater recourse to telework.
For many parents, it will simply not be possible to get to the office in the morning.
Never, since the end of the first confinement, had they found themselves in this situation.
It was also one of the pride claimed by the Head of State and his Minister of National Education Jean-Michel Blanquer.
Parents of students who cannot work will even be entitled to partial unemployment, announced the head of state.
One day per week allowed
It remains to be seen how, more generally, French employees will be able to organize themselves.
Because "telework will be systematized" throughout the country, announced Emmanuel Macron this Wednesday evening.
"I call on employers, workers to use it whenever they can," he insisted.
For several months, the government has repeatedly worried about employees who suffer from permanent teleworking.
Jean Castex still invited companies a fortnight ago to allow their employees to go once a week to their workplace.

The government fears an increase in psychological disorders linked to isolation.
“We are particularly vigilant there.
This is why we do not plan to touch the valve day ", the Ministry of Labor told the Parisian on Tuesday, taking care to recall that the" rule of telework for those whose tasks allow it is five days ".
