COVID-19:

On 16th March 2020, the president of France took measures to reduce the contacts and movements within the population to the minimum. A lockdown plan was implemented throughout the entire country as of 12 PM on Tuesday the 17th of March, for at least two weeks. Movements were forbidden except for cases of emergency, for which you needed to carry a signed “attestation” with you.
