New French Prime Minister Jean Castex has said that any new lockdown will be targeted, and not imposed nationwide, if there is a major new coronavirus outbreak.
According to Reuters, the previous French government enforced a strict nationwide lockdown from mid-March to May 11 to try to curb the spread of Covid-19, and some restrictions on public gatherings are still in place.
“We must be ready for a second wave, but we would not proceed to a general lockdown like in March, as that has terrible economic and human consequences. Any new lockdown would be targeted,” Castex told BFM television.
