This time, France's three-unblocking plan begins with some shops selling non-essential goods, which can be reopened, and then some cinemas and restaurants and cafes will be gradually unblocked, but restaurants and cafes will be closed later and will not be unblocked until around October 2121. On the eve of Christmas and New Year's Eve, restrictions on these businesses in the catering industry will be lifted so that citizens can enjoy family reunion and share happiness. In fact, the most important thing we can see is that the French attach importance to the COVID-19 epidemic, and they have also taken many restrictive measures.
Although the French government has begun to relax some restrictive measures against a group of people, Macron still said that the epidemic we are facing at present has not completely passed and has not been completely controlled, so we will continue to take measures against the catering industry. This is also to help people better survive this disaster and avoid triggering the third epidemic. Moreover, the seriousness of this epidemic is obvious to us. We started a month-long blockade before, and the number of new cases has been reduced to about 5,111 per day.
The blockade will be partially lifted later, but the curfew will remain unchanged after 9 o'clock every night, which is really rare in France, because France has always advocated freedom and now it has to do so. However, the decision to restore shops and cinemas is currently in conflict with the opinions of some health experts. Many experts have told us that these densely populated places are very likely to cause the spread of the epidemic.
It is worth mentioning that Britain, Spain, Germany and other countries are gradually considering ending the blockade and implementing grading restrictions according to different epidemic situations in different places. At present, the global epidemic control has made good progress, and many countries are considering lifting the blockade, which is also the result of the concerted efforts of all mankind. In the face of natural disasters, different countries still need to unite.
