The streets and terraces of Paris and eight cities in France emptied on Saturday night as people were asked to stay home to stem a second wave of the coronavirus that caused a record daily number of infections in the country.

“There will surely be employees who will lose their jobs, several restaurants will go bankrupt,” said Stefano Anselmo, 44, manager of Italian restaurant Bianco in Paris. “It’s a disaster.”
