France’s government began lifting some of the COVID-19 restrictions on February 2, following the lead of several other European nations such as the UK, Denmark, Ireland.
Starting this Wednesday, wearing a mask outside is no longer compulsory in France. Additionally, remote work is no longer mandatory, although it is still recommended.
“We must remain vigilant because the hospital admissions are overcrowded,” said Emmanuel Macron in an interview with La Voix du Nord published online Tuesday evening, adding, “those who think that the pandemic is about to end, they are wrong,” he added.
France is reporting 322,154 new infections on average each day, 88% of the peak, the highest daily average was reported on January 25, according to Reuters’ latest COVID Tracker, released this Wednesday.
The UK was the first European country to ease COVID-19 restrictions on January 19, seeking to coexist with the virus and to consider it as seasonal flu.
