A large number of French left Paris before the city was closed. Before France imposed a blockade to slow the spread of the new coronavirus, many Parisians fled to the suburbs, causing road congestion. On Friday, as the nationwide lockdown began to take effect, only a small number of people hurriedly walked on city sidewalks.

In France, more and more people are worried that the rising number of infections will destroy the country’s health system, so the authorities ordered a four-week lockdown from Friday. Many parts of the French capital are like an ordinary lazy weekend morning-under normal circumstances, the workday is bustling. Those who go out often have permission forms in their hands, proving that they can move on the street.

ال 67 million people in France are required to stay at home all the time and not come in, otherwise they will face high fines or prosecution. There are a few exceptions, such as allowing one hour of exercise, going to a doctor, going to work, or buying necessities within half a mile (1 km) of home every day. Except for restaurants and cafes that provide takeaways, other restaurants and cafes are closed.

Prior to this, French President Emmanuel Macron announced that France will once again “close the city” for one month from the 30th to curb the spread of the new crown epidemic. During the “closure” period, all non-essential travel is prohibited, and restaurants and bars are temporarily closed. Macron said in a televised speech that day that the spread of the new crown virus in France “not even the most pessimistic people expected.”
