Daily Covid-19 infections hit an all-time high in Germany Thursday as the World Health Organization warned that another 500,000 people could die across Europe with cases once again on the rise. FRANCE 24's Nick Spicer tells us more.
French Health Minister Olivier Veran said Tuesday that new Covid-19 infections were increasing at an unprecedented rate due to the Delta variant, after 18,000 cases were reported for the previous 24 hours.
French President Emmanuel Macron announced Wednesday that French schools would close next week and a limited lockdown in place in Paris and other regions would be extended to the whole country to battle soaring Covid-19 cases. Macron said in an address to the nation that the current efforts to limit the virus "were too limited at a time when the epidemic is accelerating."He said that schools would close for the next three weeks, but this would include two weeks of spring holiday. From Saturday night for the next four weeks, restrictions imposed on Paris and other areas two weeks ago would extend nationwide, he added.
