Guest of BFMTV this Wednesday, December 30, Gabriel Attal spoke about the possibility of a third reconfinement.
He said he had "
always taken the party never to exclude anything in principle
" but that the government was "
obviously
"
seeking
to avoid it with the measures taken such as the curfew, its advancement in certain departments, or the closure of certain places.

Asked about cultural spaces, the government spokesperson said that "at
this stage, it seems very unlikely
" that theaters, cultural venues, theaters and cinemas "
can reopen
" on January 7. due to contaminations which are on a “
fairly high plateau
” of 15,000 daily contaminations on average.
Same story for ski resorts, where ski lifts are currently closed.
“In
the immediate future, it seems rather unlikely that a large number of constraints can be alleviated
,” he said.
However, the spokesperson promised "a
few points on which we can probably make progress
", especially on telework and students.
People for whom telework "
it can sometimes be very difficult
" could "
possibly come back to work one day a week
".
As for the students, some of whom "
really need to be able to physically go back to university
", "
maybe in small groups, we can organize things
".
