France has ramped up its response to the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic, banning all public gatherings and social contact, French President Emmanuel Macron has announced.

The country will be placed on lockdown from midday on Tuesday for at least 15 days, he said.

“Never before in history has France had to take such exceptional measures in a time of peace,” Macron said. “You will no longer be able to see your loved ones… or continue your daily routine.”
