Overall, the situation remains "

particularly worrying

" in the Bouches-du-Rhône, with an incidence rate of over 225 per 100,000 inhabitants, adds the prefect.

The entire Provence-Alpes-Côte-d'Azur region will therefore be under early curfew, the Vaucluse and the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence having announced a passage under curfew at 6 p.m. Sunday and the Var from Tuesday - which is already the case in the Alpes-Maritimes and Hautes-Alpes.

decision

and questioning its usefulness.
