Through the voice of Jean Castex, the government gave its recommendations to the French concerning Christmas holidays with the family so as not to increase the circulation of the coronavirus.
The French will be able to celebrate Christmas and the New Year with family and friends, but Jean Castex will have to respect "barrier gestures and always take care to protect the most vulnerable, in particular our elders", declared the Prime Minister.
The Prime Minister indicated that "most of our European neighbors have set a maximum number of guests to gather for these New Years Eve parties, ranging from 6 to 10 people, excluding children, depending on the country". "It seems reasonable to us to recommend a gauge of 6 adults without counting the children", added the head of government.
