"The health situation has not returned to normal, it has even become more fragile in recent weeks in France," Prime Minister Jean Castex immediately warned during the joint press conference with Olivier Véran. .
The head of government therefore announced, unsurprisingly, that all establishments and equipment currently closed in France "will remain so until the end of this month".
"Museums, cinemas, theaters, theaters, sports or leisure facilities will not experience any relaxation in the coming weeks".
A point will also be made with mountain professionals on January 20, to study a possible reopening of the ski lifts in early February, just before the start of the school holidays.
The bars and restaurants will not reopen before “at least mid-February”.
On the issue of the curfew, in force across the country at 8 p.m. and 6 p.m. in fifteen departments, the Prime Minister said a decision would be taken on Friday to extend the curfew to 6 p.m. to 10 a.m. new applicable from Sunday.
