France has chosen to extend a “state of health emergency” forced to fight the coronavirus pandemic for two months until July 24, Health Minister Olivier Véran said on Saturday.
A plan to be put to parliament on Monday states projects this month to raise the public health emergency, which started on March 24, would “be premature” and “could see a risk of the outbreak” intensifying.
“We are going to have to live with the virus for a while,” Interior Minister Christophe Castaner said after a cabinet meeting.
The bill also lays out the quarantine conditions for people coming to France from abroad.
Furthermore, Travellers to France, including French citizens returning home, will face a mandatory two-week quarantine and possible isolation when they land in the country to further slow the spread of coronavirus, the health minister said.
