The curfew, until then established from 8 p.m. with exceptionally 25 departments where it was brought forward by two hours due to the high incidence rate, will now be in force from 6 p.m. throughout France, announced Jean Castex this Thursday evening during the weekly government press conference devoted to the health crisis. This measure will apply from Saturday January 16, "for at least 15 days," said Jean Castex.
