French Prime Minister Jean Castex said on Monday he did not rule out local lockdowns in France due to a resurgence of new coronavirus infections.
“Nothing can be ruled out,” Castex told France Info radio after he was asked about potential local lockdowns. He said the country was facing a “strong” second wave of new Covid-19 infections.
“If over the next two weeks we see the epidemic indicators worsen, if intensive care beds fill up even more than we expect, we will indeed take additional measures,” Castex said.
