The French government will discuss tomorrow whether to impose new, local lockdowns to try to tackle rising Covid-19 cases while keeping economic and social activities going, according to Reuters.

Government spokesman Gabriel Attal said that nothing would be ruled out at the cabinet meeting, while President Emmanuel Macron said he hoped any new measures would not be too restrictive.

Macron said that while he would not want to pre-empt any decisions, he hoped current rules would allow France to tackle the virus and let people live as normally as possible.
