France declares public health state of emergency over COVID-19: “The COVID-19 epidemic constitutes a public health disaster which, by its character and its severity, puts at risk the health of the population,” the government said in a statement announcing the state of emergency. The statement did not say what action the government would take, but the adoption of a state of emergency gives the authorities statutory powers to impose tough measures.
President Emmanuel Macron is expected to detail the measures at around 8 p.m. (1800 GMT) on Wednesday.
French media reported that a night curfew between 9 p.m. and 6 a.m. was one of the measures Macron would unveil. Full story:
