The list announced last Friday does not change ... for now.
No additional department will be affected by a curfew at 6 p.m. immediately, announced Jean Castex this Thursday afternoon at a press conference devoted to Covid-19.
"Even if the virus circulates slightly less in France than in most of our neighbors, the situation is far from having returned to normal", nevertheless indicated the Prime Minister, who said he was particularly worried by the appearance of two variants, English and South African, of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus.
The curfew will therefore always begin at 6 p.m. in fifteen departments (Hautes-Alpes, Alpes-Maritimes, Ardennes, Doubs, Jura, Marne, Haute-Marne, Meurthe-et-Moselle, Meuse, Moselle, Nièvre, Haute-Saône, Saône-et-Loire, Vosges, and the Territoire de Belfort), and at 8 p.m. in the rest of the country.

The curfew can be brought forward to 6 p.m. if the health situation linked to Covid-19 does not improve and a decision will be taken this Friday.
Several indicators, including the incidence rate and that among those over 65, are taken into account and examined day after day.
