Paris under Curfew

by The Editors · Published October 14, 2020 · Updated October 20, 2020

As we disclosed yesterday, the French President Emmanuel Macron has announced this evening a 9 p.m. – 6 a.m. curfew of at least four weeks (see the comment on the paper by Andronico et al, https://covidreference.com/top-10-october-13; a great thanks to our contact at the Élysée Palace!). The curfew affects around 20 million people (30% of the French population) in Île-de-France and eight other cities (Lille, Rouen, Saint-Etienne, Toulouse, Lyon, Grenoble, Aix-Marseille and Montpellier). A lesson of science some other countries can only dream of.
