People stroll along the Seine river banks in Paris, as France gradually lifts its Covid-19 lockdown. PARIS: France will allow restaurants, bars and cafes to reopen from Jun 2, though with more restrictions in Paris than elsewhere, Prime Minister Edouard Philippe said on Thursday as he announced the next phase in easing the country's coronavirus lockdown.
French Prime Minister Edouard Philippe speaks during a televised address to announce the second phase of the easing of lockdown measures. The greater Paris region is now an"orange" zone, meaning it not as virus-free as almost all other regions designated"green", and the easing of restrictions will be more cautious, Philippe said.More than 28,500 people have died of COVID-19 in France. On Wednesday the death toll rose by less than 100 for the seventh day running.
A ban on gatherings in public places of more than 10 people remains in place for now, and major sporting events will also be suspended until at least Jun 21, Philippe added.France and its European neighbours have been progressively easing unprecedented restrictions on public life in the past month, desperate to revive battered economies but mindful of unleashing a second wave of infections.
